Oven cleaning across Grove Park, Lewisham, SE12, using the in-van dip-tank method and non-caustic hand degreasing, with single ovens from £77.
Grove Park is cottage-estate country, so most of the ovens we clean here sit in interwar semis and terraces rather than new flats. Lewisham Council laid out the Grove Park estate in the 1920s as a garden-suburb, and the huge LCC Downham cottage estate runs alongside it, built between 1924 and 1930. Those kitchens tend to hold a freestanding cooker or a slotted-in double. So the everyday booking here is a £77 single or a £110 double.
The estates and what sits in the kitchens
The postwar Chinbrook estate, put up on old farmland between Grove Park Road and Marvels Lane, mixes low blocks with houses, and there a flat may have one integrated oven while the house next to it has a full-size freestanding cooker. Whichever it is, the racks, shelves, trays and side runners lift out and soak in the heated tank in the van, and the cavity, fan cover and door glass are degreased indoors by hand with non-caustic products, so nothing is left to air out. A single takes about ninety minutes, a double nearer two hours. We heat-test every oven and sign it off before we leave.
Cottage-estate kitchens are compact, so a close parking space and a clear run to the door save real time.
What it costs
Prices are fixed and quoted on the phone, with no premium-area surcharge. For a full-size freestanding cooker in a Downham semi, our oven cleaning service covers the single and the double the same way.
| Single oven | £77 |
| Double oven | £110 |
| Range cooker, 90cm | £114 |
| Two-oven AGA | £143 |
| Hob | £23–28 |
| Extractor hood | £28 |
| Microwave | £22 |
Parking on the estate roads
Much of Grove Park is still uncontrolled, so a driveway or a kerb space out front is usually there, though the roads nearest Grove Park station and Baring Road, where Edith Nesbit once lived, get tighter at commuter times. Tell us the road and whether there is space, because the tank and kit carry from the van. Grove Park is inside the London-wide ULEZ and our vans meet the standard.
Do you clean ovens on the Downham and Chinbrook estates?
Yes, across both. A single is £77 and a double is £110, and we quote it on the phone before we come.
Can you reach the far side of Marvels Lane and Coopers Lane?
We do. Grove Park is well inside our area and there is no call-out fee inside the South Circular.
Do you take end-of-tenancy bookings from letting agents here?
We do. Outgoing tenants and agents book them between lets, and we sign the oven off for the inventory.
Is the oven usable straight after?
Yes. We heat-test it before leaving, and the non-caustic products mean there is nothing to air out.
Reviews from our rounds
Arrived promptly and did a great job cleaning the oven, hob and extractor. They look like new now and for a very reasonable price too.
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.
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.
