London Oven Cleaners clean ovens around St Nicholas church in Deptford from £77. The oven is heated and checked with you before we leave, and anything missed is redone.
St Nicholas church on Deptford Green has an SE8 postcode, but it is in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, in Greenwich Creekside ward, and so are Stowage, Benbow Street and McMillan Street around it.
The old centre of Deptford around St Nicholas
The church tower is about 1500, on 13th-century foundations; the rest was rebuilt in 1697 by the carpenter Charles Stanton and restored in 1955-58 after bomb damage. The churchyard gate piers on the west wall carry Portland stone skulls with laurel wreaths over crossbones, and a tablet on the east wall marks Christopher Marlowe, buried here in 1593.
This was the heart of the old town. McMillan Street is what is left of Wellington Street, earlier called Flagon Row, whose houses were knocked down in 1896 so that Creek Road could be pushed through to Evelyn Street. Today the streets round the green are mostly blocks of flats, and Basevi Way, by the river, is marketed as part of the Millennium Quay development.
Renting around Deptford Green
In the census area that covers the church, Stowage, Benbow Street and McMillan Street (Greenwich 035B), 777 of the 967 households lived in a purpose-built block of flats in 2021, and 12.0% in a terraced house. 38.2% rented from the council or a housing association, 32.1% rented privately, 24.4% owned and 5.2% were in shared ownership. In the next census area, which takes in Basevi Way (Greenwich 035C), private renters were nearly half of all households at 49.3%.
With that many lets, tenancies end all through the year, and the oven is on every checkout inventory. The invoice can go to the letting agent in the agency's name, photos for the checkout file are available if asked for, and keys for an empty flat can be picked up by arrangement. The guide to oven cleaning and deposits covers what an inventory clerk looks at.

Deptford Green parking zone, 12 to 2
Royal Greenwich runs a Deptford Green zone, code DG, controlled from midday to 2pm, Monday to Friday; the plate on your street says whether it applies. A single takes about 90 minutes on site, so a morning or late-afternoon visit can sit outside the controlled window; tell us the street when you book. A short way west of the church, towards the High Street, the streets belong to Lewisham, which has its own zones and signs; the Deptford St Paul page covers that side.
Questions about oven cleaning near St Nicholas
My address says SE8. Am I in Lewisham or Greenwich?
Around Deptford Green, Stowage, Benbow Street and McMillan Street, Greenwich. It matters for parking permits; it makes no difference to the price.
Can you come on the day of my checkout?
If there is a slot, yes; the lines are open seven days. A single is about 90 minutes and a double about 2 hours, so leave that much time before the inventory clerk arrives.
Does anything need doing before you arrive?
Switch the oven off well before, so it is cool, clear the trays or dishes you store in it, and make sure there is a working socket in the kitchen.
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.
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.
Brilliant clean, my oven looks like brand new. A 5 star clean.
