London Oven Cleaners clean ovens in Chelsfield, BR6, from £77, in the old village and the streets by the station, and you inspect the oven lit before we go.
Chelsfield's parish church, St Martin of Tours on Church Road, probably began in the late 11th or very early 12th century and was greatly extended in the 13th. Edwin Nash restored it in 1857, and a north-west extension was added in 2007.
Cottages on Church Road and Bucks Cross Road
Much of the old village around the church is listed. Bucks Cross Cottages were four 18th-century cottages, now two, with flint on the ground floor, plaster above and casements of small diamond-shaped leaded panes. Nos. 5 and 6 Bucks Cross Road, late 18th-century, sit under a gambrel roof with a tile-hung first floor. On Church Road the Five Bells is an 18th-century pub with a weatherboarded upper storey, the Old Bakery is mid-18th-century, and two mid-19th-century terraces, Nos. 1 to 3 and 4 to 6, stand on the south-west side. The building listed as Chelsfield Post Office is a 16th-century brick cottage.
Chelsfield village at the 2021 Census
The Census output area that holds Church Road and Bucks Cross Road had just 121 households in 2021: 42.1% in a detached house, 33.1% in a semi and 24.0% in a terrace, with 81.8% owning their home.
That mix means two kinds of kitchen. A cottage usually has a small one with a built-in single or a compact cooker, while a detached family house is where a 90cm range or an AGA is most likely. Either way the racks, trays and side runners come out and are soaked and cleaned separately, and the cavity, the fan cover and the door glass are degreased by hand indoors, on dust sheets.
New Chelsfield by the station
The railway through Chelsfield dates from 1865 and the station from 1868, almost a mile west of the old village, and the Orpington bypass followed in the 1920s. Most of the suburban streets near the station were built in the 1930s, with infill after the war; the bungalows on Eton Road are typical of them. In a bungalow everything is on one floor. The private estate of Chelsfield Park, between the railway and the A21, is covered on this page too.

Chelsfield questions
Do you cover the old village as well as the roads by the station?
Yes, both, at the same prices. Give us the road when you call.
Is a built-in single in a cottage priced the same as one in a new house?
Yes. A single is £77 wherever it is fitted; the price follows the oven, not the house.
What if I spot a mark when you show me the oven?
Say so. The oven is heated and you inspect it before we pack up, and if a corner is not right we put it right before we leave.
Reviews from our rounds
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.
Brilliant clean, my oven looks like brand new. A 5 star clean.
Arrived promptly and did a great job cleaning the oven, hob and extractor. They look like new now and for a very reasonable price too.
