London Oven Cleaners clean ovens around Elverson Road from £77. Once the oven is back together and hot, you look inside, and any corner we missed is put right there and then.
Silk Mills Path, a pedestrianised street north of the railway arches over Lewisham Road and running towards the Ravensbourne, is named after an old mill. Lewisham's description of the path records an armoury mill making armour for Henry VIII, then a silk mill that soon turned to gold and silver thread, mostly for military and naval uniforms. The last mill building was pulled down in about 1937.
Flats on Armoury Road and Leathwell Road
The station opened in 1999, when the DLR reached Lewisham. In the small census area that takes in Armoury Road, Leathwell Road and part of Conington Road (Lewisham 040A), 482 of 676 households lived in a purpose-built block of flats at the 2021 Census: 71.3%. Shared owners made up 13.0% of households, three times the 4.2% for Lewisham Central ward as a whole, and 36.0% rented privately. North of Lewisham station, the council counts around 450 new homes at Silkworks and Silvermill, finished in early 2012, and Silk Mills Path was relandscaped as a walking route from the town centre to the DLR.
A few Victorian houses survive near the path. On Silk Mills Path, Sharestead Villas and St Germans Villas date from the 1850s, and Heath Terrace, eight houses at 292-306 Lewisham Road, was built in 1854. Lewisham has written all of them into its Silk Mills Path Area of Special Local Character.
A flat in a recent block usually has a built-in single oven under the worktop, often with a hood in the wall unit above. The job does not change with the floor: racks, trays and side runners come out and are soaked and cleaned separately, while the cavity, fan cover and door glass are degreased by hand in your kitchen, on dust sheets.
Pyrolytic ovens in the newer blocks
Some built-in ovens in flats like these have a pyrolytic setting. It helps, but it covers less of the oven than people expect.
- Pyrolytic cycle
- The door locks and the empty cavity is heated until grease turns to ash, which you wipe out afterwards. Shelves and runners usually have to come out first, so the trays and racks stay as they were.
- Hand clean
- Racks, trays and runners come out and are soaked and cleaned separately; the cavity, fan cover and the glass panels of the door are cleaned by hand. A single takes about 90 minutes.
Our guide compares pyrolytic self-cleaning with a professional clean in more detail.

Parking in zone G, Elverson
Lewisham's zone table lists zone G as Elverson, controlled Monday to Friday from 9am to 7pm. On the council's parking map it is a small wedge of streets on the south-west side of the station. The table gives G no weekend hours, so the zone hours do not run on a Saturday or Sunday. On a weekday the team needs somewhere to park, and the signs at the end of your street are the final word.
Questions about oven cleaning near Elverson Road
Is a Greenwich address near the station any different?
For parking, yes, because two councils are involved. The borough line is close: Coldbath Street and Ravensbourne Place, a short walk north of the station, are in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, so Lewisham's zone table does not cover them. Give us the street when you ring and check its signs.
My oven self-cleans. Is a visit still worth it?
Often, yes, for the racks, trays and door glass. If the cavity is the only problem, run the cycle first and call if it leaves baked-on marks.
Can you clean the hood above the hob as well?
Yes. An extractor hood is £28, added to the oven price, and done at the same visit.
How long does a built-in single take?
About 90 minutes, and you look inside the lit oven before we pack up.
Said after the sign-off
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.
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.
