Oven cleaning in Lewisham

Oven cleaning across the London Borough of Lewisham using the dip-tank method, seven days a week, single ovens from £77 with a heat-tested clean and no smell after.

The terrace belt

Most of our Lewisham work is the two-storey Victorian terraces through Deptford, New Cross, Brockley and Catford, the narrow streets built on plots barely fourteen to sixteen feet wide for workers near the old docks and the railway. Those kitchens are small, and the appliance is usually a freestanding cooker or a mid-range built-in single. A single oven is £77. In the wider Brockley and Crofton Park conservation streets the houses run larger, and there the odd 90cm range or a freestanding double turns up, which takes longer because there is more to lift out and soak.

The estates

Lewisham holds a lot of council-built housing, most of it from the 1960s and 1970s, and the estates change the job. The Pepys Estate sits on the Deptford waterfront where the Royal Victoria Victualling Yard once stood, opened in 1966, and the Milton Court Estate lies about a mile south toward New Cross. Flats like these run smaller kitchens with a built-in single and a slot-in hob, so a single at £77 with the hob added at £23-28 clears the kitchen in one visit.

The new riverside flats

North Deptford is the busiest new-build strip in the borough. Convoys Wharf, the old dockyard site on the Thames, is set for around three and a half thousand homes, and the towers at Lewisham Gateway and Loampit Vale by the station keep filling in. Nearly every one of those flats has the same kit: an integrated single oven, an induction or ceramic hob and a built-in extractor hood. That is the £77 single, with the hob and hood quoted on the phone if you want them done in the same visit.

There is no premium-area surcharge anywhere in Lewisham. The appliance sets the price, not the postcode.

The hills to the south

Out at SE23 and SE26 the ground rises and the stock shifts to bigger period houses. Forest Hill and Sydenham hold large Victorian villas, many double-fronted with real gardens, and that is where a 90cm Rangemaster or a cast-iron cooker is more likely to be waiting. The range rate is £114 and a two-oven AGA is £143. Where a villa near the Horniman runs a cast-iron AGA, book the AGA clean for the Forest Hill and Sydenham houses and we work to the enamel rather than blast it.

Dip-tank method

Racks, shelves, trays and side runners soak in a heated tank in the van while the cavity, fan cover and door glass are cleaned by hand indoors with non-caustic products.

End of tenancy oven clean

A full heat-tested clean signed off before the inventory check, the version letting agents and landlords ask for at changeover.

Getting the van close

Parking is a real part of the day because the racks and shelves ride to the tank and back. Lewisham runs controlled parking zones across the inner wards and prices its resident permits on the vehicle's emissions, so the kerbside near Deptford High Street, Lewisham town centre and New Cross Gate is tight, while the streets out toward Downham and Grove Park are easier. The whole borough sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us the road when you book.

Prices

Prices are fixed on the phone. No premium-area surcharge, and no call-out fee inside the North and South Circular, which crosses the north of the borough through New Cross and Deptford.

End of tenancy work

New Cross and Deptford turn over hard because of the students. Goldsmiths sits at New Cross, and most students take a hall in the first year then move into a private Victorian terrace for the second and third, so the churn around the campus is constant and the ovens change hands every summer. When a tenancy ends, the agent or the outgoing tenant wants a heat-tested oven signed off before the inventory check, and on a built-in single that is the £77 job. We book those seven days a week.

Questions

Which parts of Lewisham do you cover?

All of it. Brockley and Crofton Park at SE4, Catford and Bellingham at SE6, Deptford at SE8, Grove Park at SE12, Lewisham and Ladywell at SE13, New Cross at SE14, Forest Hill and Honor Oak at SE23, and Sydenham at SE26. Seven days a week.

Will there be a smell after you clean the oven?

No. Only the removable parts go in the tank. The cavity and door glass are degreased by hand with non-caustic products, so no fume is left behind, which matters in a converted flat where the kitchen opens onto the living room.

Can you clean a range cooker or an AGA up in Forest Hill?

Yes. The 90cm range cooker is £114 and a two-oven AGA is £143. Both run a little longer than a standard oven.

How long does a clean take?

A single oven is about ninety minutes and a double closer to two hours. Ranges and AGAs take longer.
