Chip Seal Sweeping Auckland – Professional Post-Sealing Cleanup Services You Can Rely On

We offer a focused range of road sweeping solutions throughout Auckland, specifically designed for post-chip seal application:

• Initial Loose Chip Sweep: Essential, high-volume sweeping performed shortly after the sealing process to remove the bulk of excess aggregate and establish traffic flow safety.
• Follow-Up Final Sweeping: A secondary, detailed sweep conducted days or weeks later to catch any remaining ‘whip-off’ or loose chips, ensuring a final, high-quality road surface finish.
• Excess Chip Removal & Disposal: Complete collection, loading, and compliant off-site disposal or recycling of all removed aggregate and road debris, adhering to all environmental regulations.
• Footpath and Kerbline Cleanup: Detailed sweeping services extending beyond the road, ensuring all adjacent paths, drains, and gutters are clear of loose chips and debris.
• Construction & Site Cleanup: General power sweeping and debris removal for civil construction sites, ensuring areas are clean for handover or subsequent project phases.

Choosing Octo Group means partnering with a team that prioritises safety, efficiency, and compliance on every road sweeping job. We are the trusted name for post-sealing cleanup across the Auckland region.

Here is what makes us the preferred choice for excess chip removal:

Specialised Equipment 

We operate powerful, modern road sweepers equipped to handle large volumes of loose aggregate efficiently, delivering a deeper clean than standard street sweepers.

NZTA & AT Compliance

Our processes strictly adhere to local and national roading standards, ensuring the sweep is performed correctly to protect the new seal.

Fast Response & Scheduling

We offer quick scheduling to meet critical project timelines, recognising the importance of prompt cleanup following chip sealing.

Comprehensive Debris Management

We handle all logistics of debris collection, transport, and environmentally responsible disposal of the removed aggregate.

TMP & Logistics Support

We can integrate our operations with your existing Traffic Management Plans (TMP) or organise temporary traffic control for seamless, safe work execution.

Experienced, Fully Insured Crews

Our operators are highly trained in safe sweeping techniques on live roading sites, providing fully insured peace of mind.

We follow a systematic approach to ensure maximum chip removal and surface quality every time:

1. Site Assessment & Planning: We inspect the sealed area, confirm chip type/size, and determine the optimal sweeping strategy and equipment needs.
2. Traffic Management Setup: A safe working zone is established using an approved TMP to protect both our crew and road users during the sweeping operation.
3. Aggressive Initial Sweep: We deploy specialised brooms and vacuum systems to aggressively remove the bulk of the loose aggregate from the road surface.
4. Detailed Edge & Kerb Cleaning: Crews focus on kerb lines, gutters, and edges where chips accumulate, ensuring a thorough cleanup across the entire site.
5. Debris Collection & Disposal: All collected aggregate is safely loaded and transported off-site for compliant disposal or re-purposing.
6. Final Inspection & Review: The site is inspected for overall cleanliness, and any required follow-up sweeping (the final sweep) is scheduled for a later date.

How soon after sealing can you sweep? We generally perform the initial aggressive sweep 24 to 72 hours after the chip seal has been applied and cured. This is the optimal time to remove the excess loose chips safely.

What areas of Auckland do you provide chip seal sweeping for? We cover the entire Auckland region, including the city centre, North Shore, South Auckland (e.g., Manukau, Papakura), West Auckland, and East Auckland, supporting major civil projects wherever they are located.

Do you handle the removed chips? Yes, our service is full-scope. We collect the excess aggregate and road debris, load it, and manage its compliant disposal off-site.

Do you need to close the road to sweep? For most public road sweeping, a Traffic Management Plan (TMP) is required to safely manage traffic around the sweeping equipment. We can coordinate the necessary traffic control to minimise disruption.
