Oven cleaning in De Beauvoir Town, N1, from villas around De Beauvoir Square to flats off Southgate Road. Single ovens start at £77, seven days.
The stucco-fronted villas on the tree-lined streets around De Beauvoir Square are family houses, and in that kind of kitchen we see more range cookers and the odd AGA than we do in most of the borough. The conservation area was designated back in 1969, so the housing has been protected and the layouts have not changed much. Off Southgate Road and toward the De Beauvoir Estate it shifts to flats with a standard single oven.
The dip-tank method suits a range or an AGA well. The racks, shelves, trays and side runners come out and soak in a heated tank in the van, which matters when there are two or more cavities and a lot of ironwork. The cavities, fan covers and door glass we clean by hand indoors with non-caustic products. No chemical smell after, and we heat-test before signing off.
Range cookers and AGAs are common here
A 90cm range is £114 and a two-oven AGA is £143, the same across London with no premium-area surcharge. If you have a cast-iron cooker that needs the full soak treatment, the AGA clean covers it. A single oven in a De Beauvoir flat is still £77.
| Single oven | £77 |
| Double oven | £110 |
| Range cooker, 90cm | £114 |
| Two-oven AGA | £143 |
| Hob | £23–28 |
| Extractor hood | £28 |
Parking on the quiet no-through roads
Many of the villa streets here are deliberately no-through roads with traffic calming, Downham Road and Mortimer Road among them, which keeps them quiet but means a technician sometimes parks a little further off and carries the tray rack in. De Beauvoir sits in a Hackney controlled parking zone. This is inside the North and South Circular, so there is no call-out fee.
Questions we get in N1
Do you clean AGAs in the De Beauvoir villas?
Yes. A two-oven AGA is a set job at £143. We take the loose ironwork out to the tank and hand-clean the cast-iron surfaces indoors.
How long does a range cooker take?
A 90cm range runs longer than a single, usually a couple of hours, because there is more to lift out and soak. We book seven days, so a weekend slot is fine.
Is there a surcharge for an affluent N1 postcode?
No. The price is fixed on the phone and the same everywhere. De Beauvoir pays £77 for a single like the rest of London.
Can you fit a job around a working kitchen?
We can. A single is about ninety minutes and the mess stays in the van, so the kitchen is usable again quickly.
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.
Once again a great job guys, I will see you in a couple of months.
Brilliant clean, my oven looks like brand new. A 5 star clean.
