Professional Equipment, Superior Results
We use commercial-grade rotary surface cleaners — not standard pressure washer lances. This gives even, streak-free results and is gentler on your surfaces while being far more effective at removing ingrained dirt, moss and algae.
- Rotary surface cleaners for driveways & patios
- Adjustable pressure for delicate surfaces
- Hot water option for oil & grease removal
I'm Stephen — Former Local Authority Cleaning Inspector
Before starting Stardust Cleaning in 2000, I spent years inspecting cleaning contracts for local councils. I know exactly what "properly clean" looks like — because I used to fail contractors who didn't meet the standard.
That background means I hold every job to professional inspection standards. If it wouldn't pass my old checklist, we're not done.
I personally quote every Carlton job and oversee quality. When you call, you speak to me — not a call centre.
We Know Carlton — and Why Driveways Here Need Regular Cleaning
Carlton sits in a valley near the River Trent, where the geography creates ideal conditions for moss and algae growth. The town's mix of mature gardens, established trees, and varied housing stock means surfaces here turn green faster than in more exposed locations.
We've been cleaning properties across Carlton and Gedling borough since 2000 — from Victorian railway-era homes on Carlton Hill to 1930s semis and modern developments.
Whether you're near Carlton Square, along Cavendish Road, or in the newer developments around Carlton Valley, we're just 10-15 minutes away from our New Basford base.
Areas we cover in Carlton:
Our Base: New Basford
Chelsea House, Chelsea Street, NG7 7HP
We head east through Sherwood and Mapperley, then down into Carlton via Westdale Lane or through the city via Carlton Road. Carlton's excellent road links make it one of our quickest destinations — whether you're near Carlton Hill, the station, or out towards Gedling.

About Carlton
Carlton is a suburban town in the Borough of Gedling, immediately east of Nottingham city centre. With a population of approximately 6,881 (2011 census) in the town itself and over 53,000 in the wider Carlton area (2021), it's one of Nottingham's most established suburbs. The name derives from Anglo-Saxon "Ceorl-tun" — meaning "settlement of freemen" — and the town appears in the Domesday Book of 1086 as "Carentune". Originally a small township of farmers and framework knitters within the parish of Gedling, Carlton's population grew rapidly after the 1846 railway connected it to Nottingham and Lincoln. The 1914 tram route from Nottingham city centre cemented its role as a commuter suburb.

Grade II listed parish church built 1884-1891 in distinctive Roman Basilica style. Commissioned by Henry Herbert, 4th Earl of Carnarvon. Contains carved oak stalls by Eric Gill (1903).
