Oven cleaning in Bexley New Town, DA6 and DA7, around the Market Place and the Broadway. Dip-tank method, seven days a week, single ovens from £77.
Bexley New Town is the name the place carried once the Enclosure Award of 1819 divided up the heath and a settlement grew around the road junction that became the Market Place. Landowners had pushed the Enclosure Act through Parliament in 1814 for the specific purpose of stopping squatters taking possession of the heath, and by then the squatters already on it ran into the hundreds.
Broom-makers put up the first cottages
The heath grew the broom plant in quantity, so the squatters cut it and made brooms and brushes. The broom gave them a trade. Building went fast after that: 18 cottages and 100 houses by 1822, and 170 cottages by 1837. Fashionable houses went up along the road at the same time, which is why the stock in DA6 and DA7 runs from small cottage kitchens to something much wider within a few streets. A single oven in a New Town cottage kitchen is £77, and it takes about ninety minutes.
The name closed up in 1894
By 1894 the two words had been joined into Bexleyheath, a decision taken so that the place would suggest the genteel atmosphere of Blackheath rather than the coarser reputation of Dartford Heath, which is a good deal of freight for one missing space to carry. The railway opened on 1 May 1895. Trams followed on 1 October 1903, running from Plumstead through Welling to the Erith boundary. Population was near 6,000 by the end of the century and 14,737 by the 1931 census.
Watling Street sits south of the Broadway
The Roman road from London to Dover passes slightly south of the present Broadway. The clock tower is W.M. Epps work, foundation stone laid 8 January 1912 and unveiled that July. The shopping mall arrived in 1984 and the Market Place was pedestrianised, so a van works from the edges here, not the middle. The 1930s filled in the rest: the Brampton Park Estate laid out roads between Brampton Road and Pickford Lane, and New Ideal Homesteads built near Pelham Road. Those semis have fitted kitchens and integrated ovens. Fixed price, no premium-area surcharge.

Questions from DA6 and DA7
Where does the cleaning actually happen?
Racks, shelves, trays and side runners come out and soak in a heated tank in the van. The cavity, fan cover and door glass are done by hand indoors with non-caustic products.
Do you need my sink or my water?
Neither. Both are in the van.
Can you do the hob and the extractor at the same visit?
Yes. A hob is £23–28 depending on type and an extractor hood is £28, and booking them together saves a second appointment.
Is the oven usable straight afterwards?
Yes. It is heat-tested and signed off before we leave, and there should be no chemical smell.
Said after the sign-off
