London Oven Cleaners clean ovens in Barkingside from £77, at a price fixed on the phone. You see the oven lit and reassembled before we leave, and anything still marked is cleaned again.
Pert Cottages, two terraces of artisan cottages by Sandringham Gardens, date from the early to mid 19th century and are listed Grade II.
Flats and terraces off Barkingside High Street
Redbridge's 2014 characterisation study describes the town centre as two and three-storey Victorian terraced parades. Behind them the housing is mostly between the wars, with a high share of bungalows, and a few older terraces such as Birkbeck Road between Buntingbridge Road and Perkins Road. Further south is Barnardo's Village, where Dr Barnardo began building a Village Home for girls in 1876: separate cottages round a green, each in the care of a 'Mother'. It closed as a children's home in 1991; 22 of the cottage homes survive and are listed Grade II, and in 2000 eleven were leased to Anchor Housing Association.
The census area that takes in Baron Gardens, Waverley Gardens and this stretch of the High Street had 685 households in 2021. 46.7% lived in a terraced house and 21.5% in a purpose-built block; 4.1% lived in a commercial building, such as a flat over a shop.
A flat over a High Street shop is usually reached by stairs. That changes the climb, not the method: racks, trays and side runners come out and are soaked and cleaned separately, while the cavity, fan cover and door glass are degreased by hand upstairs, on dust sheets.
Renting in Barkingside and the selective licence
In that same census area 40.2% of households rented privately in 2021, against 30.4% across Redbridge. The High Street postcodes here are in Fairlop ward, one of the 15 wards in Redbridge's selective licensing Scheme 4, in force from 8 April 2024 to 7 April 2029.
- Selective licence
- a council licence a landlord must hold for each privately rented home let to one household (or one or two people) in a scheme ward; a house that already needs an HMO licence is outside the scheme
At the end of a tenancy the inventory check includes the oven. Agencies can have the invoice made out to the agency, photos for the checkout file on request, and key pick-ups for an empty flat by arrangement. Our guide to oven cleaning and tenancy deposits goes into what gets marked down.

Parking near the High Street
Redbridge's permit zone map shows no controlled zone on Baron Gardens, Waverley Gardens or the High Street postcodes here. The council asks drivers to check the signs and lines on the street, because operating times can change. The 98 social rent homes at Barkingside Yard, next to the station, are car-free apart from Blue Badge parking, so a van for one of those flats would have to park on a nearby street.
Barkingside oven questions
I am a landlord with a flat over a shop on the High Street. Can you work to the checkout date?
Ring with the checkout date and the key arrangements, and the invoice can go to you or the agency. The lines are open seven days a week and a weekend costs the same as a weekday.
My cottage kitchen is tiny. Is there room?
The cavity, fan cover and door glass are done by hand on dust sheets, and the racks, trays and side runners come out to be soaked and cleaned separately. Tell us about the room when you book.
How long will a single oven take?
About 90 minutes on site. The oven is heated at the end so you can look inside before we pack up.
Said after the sign-off
I would certainly recommend this service, very efficient and good value for money. The young man did a great job and even cleaned the kitchen floor. Thank you.
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.
Once again a great job guys, I will see you in a couple of months.
