Oven cleaning across Aldenham, WD25, the scattered Hertfordshire parish between Watford and Radlett. Dip-tank method, seven days a week, single ovens from £77.
Aldenham School was founded in 1597 by Richard Platt, a City of London brewer and Master of the Worshipful Company of Brewers, after Queen Elizabeth I granted him letters patent to build a free grammar school and almshouses at Aldenham. The parish lies about 3.5 miles north-east of Watford and 2 miles south-west of Radlett, in the Hertsmere district of Hertfordshire, and it is one of the district's conservation areas.
A scattered rural parish
Aldenham is less a tight village than a spread of farms, larger houses and lanes, and the old core around St John the Baptist church, which is about 750 years old and stands on a Saxon site, holds eight pre-19th-century listed buildings. The parish is spread out. Most of the busier kitchens in the WD25 district are in the built-up streets toward north Watford, while the parish houses themselves tend to be bigger and older.
The reservoir and the country park
Aldenham Reservoir was dug by French prisoners of war in 1795 to keep local river levels up after the Grand Junction Canal was built, and the surrounding Aldenham Country Park now runs to 175 acres of parkland and woodland inside the Watling Chase Community Forest. The larger farmhouses and period houses in the parish sometimes run a range cooker or an AGA, and an AGA clean is £143 for a two-oven model.
The method and what it costs to reach you
Aldenham is in Hertfordshire, outside Greater London, so there is no congestion or ULEZ charge to pass on and no premium-area surcharge on the price, whatever the postcode. Racks, shelves, trays and side runners lift out and soak in the heated tank in the van, while the cavity, fan cover and door glass are degreased by hand indoors with non-caustic products. Every oven is heat-tested before we sign off.

What customers tell us
Very satisfied with the service. They were slightly late at first but I got a call from customer service to let me know, and it was all fine. The oven man, as he called himself, arrived and worked very hard for a couple of hours. My oven now looks like it has never been used.
Nice hardworking lads that always do a good job. We used them for our old flat when moving out and for the new one now, both jobs were done very professionally. My wife is very impressed with the results and would recommend them to friends and family.
Once again a great job guys, I will see you in a couple of months.
