Oven cleaning around Harrow and Wealdstone, HA1 and HA3, along the High Street and the old Kodak land. Dip-tank method, seven days, single ovens from £77.
Eastman Kodak opened a factory here in 1891, the company's first site outside the United States. By 1965 it ran to more than a hundred buildings on 55 acres, a research centre among them, with 5,500 people working on the site. It closed in 2016 and was demolished. The land now has consent for 747 homes along with a food store, a health centre and commercial space.
The station is four operators in one building
Harrow & Wealdstone opened in 1837 on the West Coast Main Line and was rebuilt in 1912, when the London and North Western Railway widened the line and electrified the suburban tracks. It now carries the Bakerloo line, the Watford DC Line, Southern and West Midlands Trains. Wealdstone sits north of Harrow town centre in HA3, with Harrow as the post town, and it divides into two wards, Wealdstone North and Wealdstone South.
New flats on the High Street mean integrated ovens
Central Wealdstone is largely Victorian and Edwardian terraces, with newer flatted schemes on the High Street and along George Gange Way, the flyover that took the through traffic out of the centre in 1996. Flats of that kind almost always run an integrated single oven under a counter, a hob beside it and a hood over the top that rarely gets taken apart, and that combination is what an inventory check looks at. Adding the extractor hood in a High Street flat is £28.
Where the soaking happens
In the van. Racks, shelves, trays and side runners lift out and go into a heated tank there, while the cavity, the fan cover and the door glass are degreased by hand indoors with non-caustic products. There is no chemical smell afterwards. The oven is heat-tested and signed off before we leave. The price is fixed on the phone, with no premium-area surcharge on an HA1 or HA3 address.

Questions from Wealdstone North and South
Do you cover the flats above the High Street shops?
Yes. The parts come down to the van, and the rest of the work is done in the kitchen.
Do you need my sink or my tap?
No. The tank and the water are both in the van.
Will there be a smell after you go?
There should not be. The soaking is done outside, and the hand work indoors uses non-caustic products.
How long will you need?
About ninety minutes for a single, and around two hours for a double.
What customers tell us
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.
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.
