No. 36 The Street is said to date from 1411, when it was built to put up visiting monks, and Gravesham's appraisal counts it as one of two known timber-framed houses on the street; the other, nos. 45 to 49, is a 16th-century hall house.
Cobham's conservation area
This is the Cobham in Gravesham, a little under a mile south of Watling Street (the A2), not the Surrey one. Its conservation area was designated on 1 January 1970 and takes in The Street, Battle Street and Lawrence Drive, with parts of Halfpence Lane, Cobhambury Road, Jeskyns Road and Sole Street. Gravesham's 2016 appraisal records that Cobham College, founded in 1362 and turned into 20 almshouses in the 1590s, is now sheltered retirement accommodation, and that the Leather Bottle, the pub in Pickwick Papers, was remodelled in a Tudor style after a fire in 1887.
Not everything is old. Lawrence Drive is a post-war cul-de-sac of former council houses on what was Forge Field, and the base of the village windmill, struck by lightning in 1903, became a house in 1929. In 1924 the new A2, built alongside the Roman road, physically separated the parish from its neighbour Shorne.
Cookers in old houses
A cottage or a timber-framed house often has a small kitchen. The cleaning happens in two parts: everything that lifts out is soaked and cleaned separately, and the cavity, the fan cover and the door glass are degreased by hand where the oven stands, with dust sheets down first.
- Freestanding cooker
- Oven, grill and hob in one unit that stands in a gap between the worktops.
- Built-in single
- One oven housed in the kitchen units, with the hob fitted separately in the worktop.
The single oven cleaning page sets out what a single includes.

Stopping the van on The Street
The appraisal notes that through the village's main pinch point, by the churchyard, there is really only room for traffic in one direction at a time, with a traffic-calming scheme that makes drivers wait for each other. The van cannot stand there for a clean. If your house is on that stretch, say so when you book, and tell us about any drive or space nearby.

What customers tell us
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.
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.
