London Oven Cleaners works right across Penge and the Cator ward in SE20, cleaning single ovens from £77 with racks soaked in a heated tank in the van.
The Alexandra Cottages conservation area, 181 small Victorian houses spread over Albert, Edward, Princes and Victor Roads plus Hardings Lane, is the clearest bit of Penge for us. Narrow no-through streets, galley kitchens, and a freestanding cooker pushed against the wall rather than a fitted built-in. Kitchens here are small. The bigger semi-detached houses towards Cator Park and the SE26 border are where the odd range cooker turns up, but most of Penge is terraces and flats with a single oven.
End-of-tenancy work off the High Street
Off the High Street, where the flats sit above the shops between Superdrug and Greggs and letting agents like Propertyworld at Central Parade turn tenancies over quickly, most of the calls are end-of-tenancy single ovens booked in the week before a check-out, and those are the ones that need the door glass split out and degreased by hand. A flat above a shop usually has one integrated oven and a two-ring hob, which we book as a single oven clean. Penge West, Penge East and Anerley stations sit within a few minutes of each other, so tenants move in and out constantly.
Parking and how the clean runs
Parking is short-term bays on the High Street and tight kerbs on the cottage roads, so the van gets as close as it can and the racks, shelves, trays and side runners carry out to the heated tank in it. The cavity, fan cover and glass are then degreased indoors with non-caustic products, no chemical smell after, and the oven is heat-tested before we sign it off. A single takes about ninety minutes.

Questions we get in Penge
Do you clean freestanding cookers in the Alexandra Cottages?
Yes. Those galley kitchens nearly always have a slot-in or freestanding cooker, and we lift the racks and trays out to soak while the cavity is done by hand.
Can you do a same-week end-of-tenancy clean?
Usually yes. We run seven days, so a check-out clean booked a few days ahead is normal here given how fast the SE20 rentals turn over.
Is there a surcharge for the SE20 postcode?
No. Prices are fixed on the phone with no premium-area charge, and there is no call-out fee inside the South Circular.
What if the flat only has a small integrated oven?
That is still a single oven at £77. Add a hob at £23–28 or a microwave at £22 if you want those done in the same visit.
Said after the sign-off
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.
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.
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.
