London Oven Cleaners clean ovens in Cuffley from £77, at a price fixed on the phone. You see the oven hot and reassembled before we go, and any corner you are not happy with is redone.
In 1908 the Victoria County History described Cuffley as a hamlet of a few cottages, a room used as a school and church, and Wells Farm. A railway loop was then being built across the east of Northaw parish, and Cuffley station is on it.
A village of large detached houses
Today Cuffley is a village in Northaw and Cuffley parish, in Welwyn Hatfield district, with Potters Bar as its post town. The 2021 Census figures here are for MSOA Welwyn Hatfield 016, which the House of Commons Library names Cuffley and Northaw; the area takes in Northaw village as well as Cuffley. It had 2,201 households: 67.6% lived in a detached house, and 49.7% had four or more bedrooms, against 21.1% across England. 83.2% owned their home, and 47.1% owned it outright.
Cuffley has churches from the 1960s. St Martin de Porres, the Catholic church, went up in Church Close in 1963 as a simple prefabricated timber building. St Andrew's, the parish church on Plough Hill, was designed by Clifford Culpin and Partners and built between 1966 and 1968. On the south side of East Ridgeway, about 150 metres west of The Plough, a granite obelisk unveiled in 1921 marks the place where Captain William Leefe Robinson brought down the German airship SL11 on 3 September 1916; it has been Grade II listed since March 2018.
A house with four or more bedrooms may have room for something bigger than a single oven: a built-in double, a wide single, a 90cm range or an AGA. The bigger the cooker, the longer the visit. The shelves, trays, runners and fan cover still come out and are soaked and cleaned separately, and the inside of the oven and the door glass are cleaned by hand in the kitchen, on dust sheets. The door is split where its design allows.

Resident permit zones in Cuffley
At a detached house the drive, if there is one, is the easiest place for the van. Some Cuffley roads are in Welwyn Hatfield's resident permit zones: Theobalds Close (zone E01), Tolmers Gardens (E02, Monday to Saturday 9am to 5pm, except bank holidays), Church Close (E03), Bacons Drive with Cranfield Crescent (E04) and Lambs Close (E05). E01, E03, E04 and E05 are restricted from 11am to 1pm on weekdays. The council's advice is that residents in a zone use visitor permits for a tradesperson's vehicle on a short job. Off the street, Maynard Place car park has 64 spaces and Sopers Road car park 87; both are managed by the parish council.
Questions about oven cleaning in Cuffley
We live on Tolmers Gardens. What do we need to sort out for the van?
The council tells residents to use a visitor permit for a tradesperson's vehicle on a short job, and the Tolmers Gardens restriction runs Monday to Saturday, 9am to 5pm, except bank holidays. Mention the zone when you book, and have the permit ready before the day.
How long does a two-oven AGA take?
Half a day, at £143. It has to be switched off the night before so it is cool when we arrive; the AGA cleaning page explains the rest.
Do you cover Northaw as well?
Yes. Northaw is in the same parish, and the prices are the same.
Where do the racks and trays get cleaned?
They come out of the oven and are soaked and cleaned separately. Some teams have a heated tank on the van and use it when they can park close, and otherwise everything is done in the kitchen. The price is the same either way, so ask when you book.
Said after the sign-off
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.
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.
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.
