London Oven Cleaners clean ovens across Lambeth from £77. You look inside the lit oven before we pack up, and anything not right is put right there and then.
The 2021 Census counted 134,688 households in Lambeth, and just over half of them (51.6%) lived in a purpose-built block of flats; another 20.6% lived in a house that had been split into flats. Purpose-built flats usually have a built-in single under the worktop. Converted Victorian houses tend to have whatever cooker fitted the old back room.
Lambeth's housing, from Vauxhall to Streatham Vale
The borough changes as you go south. In Vauxhall ward 87.6% of households lived in purpose-built flats at the census and only 4.1% in a whole house. In Streatham Common and Vale the figures turn over: 55.3% lived in a house. Between the two ends are the period streets of Clapham, Brixton and Herne Hill, where many Victorian terraces have been divided into flats; in Brixton Acre Lane ward 31.3% of households lived in a converted house.
Lambeth has 62 conservation areas, covering about 30% of the borough. The council's own architects also built low-rise estates of houses and flats in the late 1960s and 1970s, among them Central Hill in Norwood and Cressingham Gardens, 306 homes on the southern edge of Brockwell Park.

For the oven, the type of home matters more than the postcode. A built-in single in a flat takes about 90 minutes. A 90cm range in a knocked-through terrace kitchen takes two to three hours. On the third floor of a converted house, the stairs mean a few more trips for the team, so mention the floor when you call.

Parking the van in Lambeth's 24 zones
Lambeth runs 24 controlled parking zones, mostly in the north of the borough, and their hours differ a lot. A few from the council's zone map:
- Waterloo (W)
- 8.30am to 6.30pm Monday to Friday, plus 8.30am to 1pm on Saturday
- Brixton Inner (BI)
- 8.30am to 6.30pm, Monday to Saturday
- Herne Hill (N)
- noon to 2pm, Monday to Friday
- Streatham Hill East (M)
- 10am to noon, Monday to Friday
In a zone controlled for only two hours a day, a visit timed outside that window avoids the permit question altogether. In an all-day zone the van needs a pay-by-phone bay or a visitor permit. The time plate on the bay beats any list, this one included. Tell us the street and the zone letter when you book, so the team knows where to park.
Renting in Lambeth and the checkout oven
Lambeth splits almost into thirds. In 2021, 31.4% of households rented privately, 33.6% rented from the council or a housing association and 33.0% owned their home, according to the ONS census summary for Lambeth. Private renting was up from 29.3% in 2011. Many of those tenancies end with an inventory check, and the clerk will open the oven.
Landlords and letting agents can have the invoice addressed to the agency and photos taken for the checkout file, and keys for an empty property can be collected by arrangement. Our guide to end of tenancy oven cleaning and deposits has more for tenants.
Parts soaked separately, cavity done by hand
Dust sheets go down first. Everything that lifts out is soaked and cleaned separately. The cavity and the door glass are degreased by hand, fan cover included, normally in your kitchen. The door is split where its design allows. Then the oven is rebuilt and heated, and you inspect it before anything is packed away.
Lambeth oven cleaning questions
Do you cover the whole of Lambeth?
Yes, from Waterloo and Kennington down to Streatham and West Norwood. Every area page is listed below.
Can you come on a Saturday in central Brixton?
Yes. We work seven days a week and weekends cost the same as weekdays. Brixton Inner (BI) is one of only two zones on the council's map with Saturday hours, so the van will need a paid bay or a visitor permit there until 6.30pm.
My council flat is on the fifth floor and the lift is unreliable. Is that a problem?
No. Tell us the floor, and whether there is a lift, when you call.
Is an AGA in a large Lambeth house priced differently?
Yes. A two-oven AGA is £143 and takes about half a day. It has to be switched off the night before so it is cool when we arrive.

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.
Once again a great job guys, I will see you in a couple of months.
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.
