London Oven Cleaners clean ovens in Chalk Farm from £77. The oven is rebuilt and heated, you look inside it lit, and anything missed is put right before we leave.
Harmood Street was laid out in the 1830s, one of the first streets cut into the fields beside Chalk Farm Road. Its cottages were saved by a public outcry after the slum clearances of the 1960s, and the street became a conservation area in 2005.
The name Chalk Farm is usually traced to Chalcot, Middle English for a cold cottage, recorded in the area in 1256. Chalk Farm Road divides the area, with Harmood Street, Ferdinand Street and the council blocks around them on its north side, in Camden's Haverstock ward, and former railway land on its south side.
Cottages and council blocks north of Chalk Farm Road
The small Census area that takes in Harmood Street and Ferdinand Street (the ONS calls it Camden 012C) had 897 households in 2021. Of those, 72.2% lived in a purpose-built block of flats and 14.0% in a terraced house. Just under half, 45.7%, rented from the council, 27.9% rented privately and 21.6% owned.
Kitchens in terraced cottages like those on Harmood Street tend to be compact, and a single oven is the likelier fit. Whatever the oven, the method is the same: racks, trays, side runners and fan cover come out and are soaked and cleaned separately, and the cavity and door glass are degreased by hand in the kitchen, on dust sheets.
New flats at Camden Goods Yard
South of Chalk Farm Road, the old Morrisons store and car park is the site of Camden Goods Yard, a St George scheme with Morrisons and Camden Council, originally approved for 644 homes, on the site of a 19th-century depot that was the original terminus for railway goods traffic. It was designed with an all-electric air-source heat pump system. Up the road, the Roundhouse began as railway building too, an engine shed of 1846 to 1847 for the London and Birmingham Railway, then a bonded warehouse for the gin distillers W & A Gilbey for 50 years from 1871.
New flats like these usually have an integrated oven, and some of those ovens have a pyrolytic self-clean setting. Our guide to pyrolytic self-cleaning against a professional clean sets out what that programme reaches and what it leaves.
- Single oven
- One cavity, usually 60cm wide, under the worktop or at eye level. About 90 minutes on site.
- Double oven
- Two cavities, one above the other: a smaller top oven, often with the grill, over the main oven. About two hours.

Chalk Farm's parking zone, CA-F(nw)
Chalk Farm Road at Ferdinand Street, Harmood Street and Ferdinand Street itself all fall in zone CA-F(nw) on Camden's zone data, updated in September 2025. Its controls run from 8.30am to 11pm on weekdays and from 9.30am to 11pm on Saturdays and Sundays, so there is no uncontrolled window for a daytime visit on any day of the week. A Sunday booking costs the same as a Monday one. In Camden, visitor permits are bought by residents for their own guests, and tradespeople come under a separate trade permit scheme; tell us the street when you book.
Chalk Farm oven questions
Can you clean the oven in a Harmood Street cottage with a narrow hall?
Yes. The removable parts come out and are soaked and cleaned separately, and dust sheets go down first.
My Camden Goods Yard flat has an extractor over the hob. Can that be done too?
Yes. An extractor hood is £28 and a ceramic hob is £23.
How long should I keep the morning free?
About 90 minutes for a single oven and about two hours for a double; a 90cm range takes two to three hours.
Do I need to do anything before you arrive?
Have the oven cool, a working socket free, and the street name ready when you call so the van can be planned in zone CA-F(nw).
Reviews from our rounds
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.
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.
