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 Gunthorpe job and oversee quality. When you call, you speak to me — not a call centre.
We Know Gunthorpe — and Why Driveways Here Go Green
Gunthorpe sits directly on the River Trent floodplain, bordered by the river and its tributary Cocker Beck. This creates a humid microclimate that's perfect for moss and algae. Large parts of the village are in Flood Zone 3 — this moisture-rich environment means surfaces here turn green faster than on higher ground.
We've been cleaning properties across the Trent Valley since 2000 — from riverside homes near the lock to village properties along Main Street.
Whether you're near Gunthorpe Bridge, along Trentside, or in the heart of the village, we're around 25-30 minutes away via the A612 and A6097 from New Basford.
Areas we cover in Gunthorpe:
Our Base: New Basford
Chelsea House, Chelsea Street, NG7 7HP
We head east through Carlton, then via the A612 to Lowdham before taking the A6097 south to Gunthorpe Bridge. The village's position at the only river crossing between Nottingham and Newark makes navigation straightforward.

Gunthorpe 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.
Yes — Main Street, Trentside, Lowdham Road, David's Lane, and properties near the lock and weir. We also cover nearby Lowdham, Shelford, Burton Joyce, and Radcliffe-on-Trent. We're based in New Basford, around 25-30 minutes away via the A612 and A6097.
Yes. If you're not completely satisfied, we'll return and re-clean at no extra cost. We're also fully insured with £5 million public liability cover for complete peace of mind.
Absolutely. Many Gunthorpe properties along Trentside and near the lock are in Flood Zone 3. These riverside locations are particularly prone to algae due to constant moisture from the river. We're experienced with these conditions and can advise on maintenance schedules to keep on top of regrowth.

About Gunthorpe
Gunthorpe is a picturesque riverside village on the banks of the River Trent, home to approximately 740 residents (2021 census). The name derives from Old Norse — combining Gunnhildr (a Viking woman's name) with þorp meaning 'outlying farm' — reflecting its origins in the Danelaw period when the Viking Great Army sailed up the Trent in 873. The Domesday Book of 1086 recorded "Gulnhorp" as a substantial settlement with 52 households, making it among the largest 20% of recorded settlements — larger than nearby Lowdham at the time. A suspected Neolithic henge (2800-2000 BC) lies buried near the A6097, evidence of the crossing's ancient significance.
Gunthorpe Bridge & Lock
The only road crossing of the Trent between Nottingham and Newark. The current concrete bridge (1927) replaced an 1875 iron toll bridge. Gunthorpe Lock, excavated 1922-25, is one of the largest on the Trent at 150ft long.
canalrivertrust.org.uk →St John the Baptist Church
Built in 1850 as a chapel of ease, St John's became a separate parish from Lowdham in 1993. An earlier medieval chapel stood here from at least 1559 but was converted to a blacksmith's shop by 1798.
gunthorpenottspc.org.uk →The Unicorn Hotel
Historic riverside pub first recorded as the Ferry Inn in 1832. Stands on the riverfront near the lock, offering views across the Trent. A village institution for nearly 200 years.
unicornhotelpub.co.uk →Tom Brown's Restaurant
Award-winning restaurant housed in the former Victorian schoolhouse. The original Gunthorpe Primary School was established here in 1873 before moving to David's Lane in 1974.
tombrowns.uk →Trent Valley Way
Long-distance footpath running through Gunthorpe along the riverside. Popular for walking, cycling and fishing, the route passes the lock, weir, and marina before continuing to Hoveringham and beyond.
canalrivertrust.org.uk →Gunthorpe Primary School
Village school on David's Lane serving the community since 1873 (at current site since 1974). Part of the Dover Beck ward within Newark and Sherwood district.
gunthorpenottspc.org.uk →Gunthorpe's history includes framework knitting — most villagers were employed in the trade by the 1881 census. The village's position on the Trent floodplain makes it vulnerable to flooding; large areas are within Flood Zone 3. The Bridge & Bayleaf restaurant occupies the original 1875 toll house. During the First World War, 58 men served and 12 were killed; in the Second World War, 66 served and 2 were killed. Today Gunthorpe is a popular destination for riverside walks, dining, and fishing, connected to Nottingham by the Rushcliffe Villager bus service and easily accessible via the A6097 from the A612.
