Oven cleaning in Riddlesdown and across Purley CR8, seven days a week, dip-tank cleaning with non-caustic products indoors, from £77 for a single oven.
The Riddlesdown streets are mostly 1930s semis put up by John Laing, with a run of older Edwardian family houses closer to the common, the green space that the City of London Corporation has kept open since the 1880s.
Riddlesdown kitchens and the ovens we see
The 1930s Laing semis nearly all have a built-under double oven now, a fitted oven with a grill above, which is the job we do most on Mitchley Avenue and Riddlesdown Avenue. A double oven clean runs about two hours, because both cavities and the middle glass come apart while the shelves soak in the tank. The Edwardian houses up near the common are larger and sometimes hold a freestanding range instead.
- Dip-tank method
- Racks, shelves, trays and side runners lift out and soak in a heated tank in the van. The cavity, fan cover and door glass are degreased by hand indoors, so there is no caustic smell left behind.

Parking on the Riddlesdown avenues
Parking is straightforward off Mitchley Avenue and Purley Downs Road, where houses have driveways and the kerb is free. Riddlesdown Road itself is tighter near the station, so on a weekday the van sometimes waits for a space; a spot on the drive helps the technician get the racks out to the tank quickly.
Questions we get in Purley
Which roads do you cover around Riddlesdown?
All of them: Riddlesdown Road, Riddlesdown Avenue, Mitchley Avenue, Purley Downs Road and the streets down towards Purley station, seven days a week.
Will the oven smell of chemicals afterwards?
No. We use non-caustic products by hand indoors, so there is nothing to air out and you can use the oven that evening.

Yes. A hob is £23–28 and an extractor hood is £28 if we do them alongside the oven.
How long will a single oven take?
About ninety minutes, and we heat-test it before we leave.
What customers tell us
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.
Brilliant clean, my oven looks like brand new. A 5 star clean.
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.
