Oven cleaning in Clapham Town, SW4, seven days a week, using a dip-tank in the van. Prices are fixed on the phone and start at £77.
The Rectory Grove conservation area, designated in 1968, takes in Rectory Grove, St Paul's churchyard and Clapham Manor Street down to the High Street. Numbers 8 to 10 Rectory Grove are four-storey Georgian houses, Grade II listed. Behind those doors it is mostly flats. Lambeth's regeneration programme has been selling off 26 Victorian terraced houses on Rectory Gardens and Rectory Grove, which tells you how old the fabric is here and how often the kitchens inside it get ripped out.
The ward is mostly conversions, so the ovens are mostly singles
Clapham Town ward held 13,795 people at the 2011 census in an area you can walk across in about twenty minutes, and nearly all of that is upper and lower maisonettes carved out of nineteenth-century terraces. A carved-up terrace gets a small kitchen. A small kitchen gets one integrated single oven, usually under a hob. That is the standard job in SW4. The 1950s Notre Dame Estate off Clapham Manor Street, built on the site of the old Notre Dame Convent, is flats too.
Racks, shelves, trays and side runners come out to the van and soak in the heated tank. The cavity, fan cover and door glass are done by hand indoors with non-caustic products, so nobody is left with a fumey kitchen. The oven is heat-tested before we sign it off.
Parking is a real part of the working day
Lambeth runs 24 controlled parking zones, most of them in the north of the borough. Single yellows are generally controlled 8.30am to 6pm Monday to Saturday, doubles round the clock. Venn Street has the food market at weekends and the cinema traffic on top, so a weekend slot there is worth booking early. It is all inside the ULEZ. No call-out fee inside the South Circular, and no surcharge for an SW4 postcode.

Handing keys back on a Rectory Gardens flat, a single oven clean at £77 covers what the inventory clerk looks at.
How long will you be in the flat?
About ninety minutes for a single, around two hours for a double. Add a bit if the flat is up three flights, because the parts go down to the van and come back.
Do I need to be there the whole time?
No. A letting agent with a key is fine. Someone does need to let us in and sign off at the end.
Can you get to a top-floor conversion on Rectory Grove?
Yes. The tank stays in the van and the parts are carried, which is why we ask about floors when you ring rather than when we arrive.
Said after the sign-off
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.
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.
Once again a great job guys, I will see you in a couple of months.
