Builder arranged for skip to be collected and skip company sent an old rattle lorry to collect it.

After it left I found either deisel or oil leaked from said lorry on road at front of house.

Anyone know the best way to remove it?

Many thanks

Do what the emergency services do when they attend a lorry spill of oil or diesel on the motorway and that is a smear of sand then brush it up with a stiff sweeping brush (broom).
Any remaining soiled marks left on the driveway then can be finally cleaned up with a degreasing agent from Halfords or Screwfix etc.

I would have been on the phone to the skip company and got them out to do the cleaning! clearly they aren't maintaining their vehicles correctly if its leaking fuel/oil

If you have the reg / details etc of said vehicle, contact the DVSA (used to be VOSA)…

Unroad roadworthy vehicle?

They'll have a field day!

It isn't your problem. Report it to the company and if they don't sort it, phone the council.
