London Oven Cleaners clean ovens in Kingsbury from £77. You inspect the oven lit and rebuilt, and any corner that is not right is redone before we leave.
The Aldi about 100 metres from Kingsbury station stands where the Odeon opened on 30 May 1934. The cinema closed on 9 September 1972, its auditorium was pulled down for a Sainsbury's, and the supermarket on the site now has flats above it.
Flats above the shops on Kingsbury Road
The Metropolitan Railway reached Kingsbury on its way to Stanmore in 1932, and the fields round the new station were built over in the years that followed. The census area the House of Commons Library calls Kingsbury West, which covers the station and Kingsbury Circle, had 3,182 households in 2021. Of those, 51.4% lived in a semi, 22.9% in a purpose-built block of flats and 3.4% in a commercial building, the census category that includes a flat over a shop.
A flat over a shop is likely to have a compact kitchen and a flight of stairs between the oven and the pavement. The stairs add trips, nothing more. The racks, trays and side runners come out and are soaked and cleaned separately; the cavity, the fan cover and the door glass are degreased by hand in the kitchen, over dust sheets. A single takes about 90 minutes.
A third of the households (33.5%) rented privately, and almost as many (33.1%) owned their home outright. Letting agents can have the invoice made out to the agency and photos for the checkout file; for an empty flat, keys can be collected by arrangement.
Roe Green Village, Brent's first conservation area
North of Kingsbury Road, where the grounds of Kingsbury High School mark its southern edge, is a garden village a decade older than the semis round it. In 1916 the Office of Works asked its principal architect, Sir Frank Baines, to design cottages for workers at the Aircraft Manufacturing Company, which by 1918 employed 4,400 people. Building started in 1918 on two fields used by the Kingsbury Polo Club, and when it was finished in 1920 the village stood among fields. Brent made it the borough's first conservation area in November 1968.
The houses and maisonettes on Roe Lane, Roe End, Goldsmith Lane, Scudamore Lane and Shortscroft were built small; the council's appraisal calls them modest. A kitchen in a cottage this size will probably hold a standard 60cm cooker or a built-in single. Brent's zone map shows no controlled parking in the village, and the appraisal records that few front gardens have been paved over, so the van will probably stand in the road outside.

Parking near Kingsbury station: zone Y and the streets around it
On Brent's map, Kingsbury Road from Kingsbury Circle east to the Old Kenton Lane junction is in zone Y, controlled 8am to 6.30pm, Monday to Saturday. Brent's map shows Crundale Avenue, south of the road, as zone VF, controlled 10am to 3pm on weekdays, though VF is not on the council's printed zone list, so check the signs there. Princes Avenue and Honeypot Lane lie outside any zone. The team needs somewhere to park for the whole visit, so if you live on the parade, tell us the nearest side road when you ring.
Questions about oven cleaning in Kingsbury
Does a Saturday avoid the zone Y hours?
No, zone Y runs on Saturdays too. A Sunday is outside its hours, and weekend visits cost the same as weekdays.
Can you clean ovens in the Trobridge castle flats near Buck Lane?
Yes. Highfort Court (1936-37, on Buck Lane) and Whitecastle Mansions (on Wakeman's Hill Avenue) are castle-style blocks near the top of the hill, and Brent's conservation area appraisal describes both as two storeys, so the stairs are short.
I live nearer Queensbury station. Is that covered?
Yes. The Queensbury page covers the streets around that station.
Where is the oven cleaned in a flat over a shop?
The cavity, the fan cover and the door glass are degreased by hand in the kitchen, over dust sheets. The racks, trays and side runners come out and are soaked and cleaned separately. Some teams have a heated tank on the van and use it when they can park close; otherwise everything is done in the kitchen. The price is the same either way, and you can ask when you book.
Said after the sign-off
Once again a great job guys, I will see you in a couple of months.
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.
