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 Cotgrave job and oversee quality. When you call, you speak to me — not a call centre.
We Know Cotgrave — and Why Driveways Here Need Regular Cleaning
Cotgrave sits on the South Nottinghamshire Wolds at around 40 metres elevation, with the Grantham Canal and Cotgrave Country Park creating a moist microclimate nearby. The established woodland in the country park — planted on the former colliery site — combined with mature gardens throughout the town, provides shade and moisture that's ideal for moss and algae growth.
We've been cleaning properties across Rushcliffe since 2000 — from the original village core around All Saints Church to the 1960s colliery estates and the newer Hollygate Park development.
Whether you're on Bingham Road, near the precinct, or in the Hollygate Park estate, we're around 20-25 minutes away via the A52 and A606 from New Basford.
Areas we cover in Cotgrave:
Our Base: New Basford
Chelsea House, Chelsea Street, NG7 7HP
We head south-east through the city, picking up the A52 at QMC then continuing towards West Bridgford and Gamston. From there we take the A606 south through Tollerton to Cotgrave — a straightforward route whether you're near the precinct, along Bingham Road, or in the Hollygate Park development.
Key roads we cover:
We've Cleaned Every Era of Cotgrave Home
From the historic village core to modern developments — we know which surfaces need which approach.
Original Village
Historic core around All Saints Church and The Cross. Traditional cottages, older brick, flagstone paths — needs careful, lower pressure.
Colliery-Era Housing
Purpose-built estates for miners and families. Concrete drives, original patio slabs, established gardens with mature shade.
Later Developments
Expansion after colliery heyday. Mix of block paving, tarmac drives, and early Indian sandstone patios.
Hollygate Park & Modern
New developments on former colliery site. Resin-bound drives, porcelain patios, modern materials — specialist care needed.

Cotgrave Pressure Washing Questions
Got questions? Here are the things customers ask most often.
Driveway cleaning starts from £4 per square metre. A typical 40m² block paving driveway costs £160-£200, including kiln-dried sand re-application. We provide free, fixed-price quotes — no hidden fees.
Light rain doesn't affect pressure washing — we're using water anyway! For heavy rain, we'll contact you to reschedule at no charge. We monitor forecasts and communicate proactively.
Not necessarily. As long as we have access to the area and an outside tap, you don't need to be present. We'll send before and after photos so you can see the transformation.
You can walk on it immediately. For block paving that's been re-sanded, we recommend waiting 24 hours before driving on it to let the sand settle into the joints.

Cotgrave sits on the South Nottinghamshire Wolds with the Grantham Canal and Cotgrave Country Park nearby. The country park's maturing woodland and the canal create a moist microclimate ideal for moss and algae. Combined with established gardens providing shade, surfaces here turn green faster than in more exposed locations. Regular cleaning every 2-3 years keeps on top of it.

About Cotgrave
Cotgrave is a town in the Rushcliffe borough of Nottinghamshire, 5 miles south-east of Nottingham city centre. Home to approximately 8,206 residents (2021 census), it sits on the South Nottinghamshire Wolds at around 40 metres above sea level. The name derives from Old English "Cotta's grove", and the settlement appears in the Domesday Book as "Godegrave." Archaeological evidence shows occupation since the Iron Age, with a 6th-century Anglo-Saxon burial ground excavated at Mill Hill. The Roman Fosse Way (now the A46) passes a mile to the east. Cotgrave remained a small agricultural village until the 1960s, when the discovery of coal transformed it completely.
All Saints Church
Grade I listed parish church dating from the 12th century with medieval fabric from 13th-15th centuries. Contains the 1637 "Plague Stone" used to disinfect money during a plague outbreak when two villagers locked themselves in the church as a food store.
historicengland.org.uk →Cotgrave Country Park
Beautiful country park developed from the former Cotgrave Colliery site. Features Heron Lake, woodland walks, the Grantham Canal, and wildlife including great crested newts, herons, and deer. Over 5km of paths for walking, cycling, and horse riding.

The colliery (1963-1993) transformed Cotgrave from a village of 700 to a town of 7,000+. Miners relocated from the North East, bringing distinctive accents still heard today. The iconic Koepe towers have been commemorated in a church window.

Opened in 1797, the canal runs through Cotgrave Country Park with restored locks. Not currently navigable but plans exist for restoration. Popular for canalside walks connecting to Radcliffe on Trent and beyond.

Cotgrave is part of Rushcliffe borough, with good transport links via the A52, A606 and A46. Bus services connect to Nottingham, and the Green 11 NCT service now serves Cotgrave, Tollerton and Cropwell Bishop.
rushcliffe.gov.uk →The town has a shopping precinct with supermarket, eateries, and essential services. Cotgrave Leisure Centre provides sports facilities, and two primary schools serve the community. The "Thousand-Year Wall" near All Saints Church is home to a colony of solitary bees. A Wellington bomber memorial near the golf course commemorates seven crew members killed in a 1941 training crash. The Hollygate Park development has been built on the former colliery footprint, bringing new residents to this once-industrial town now surrounded by countryside, parkland, and the peaceful Grantham Canal.
