Houses on the Ballards estate
An Aerofilms photograph taken on 21 January 1921 is catalogued as Ballards, Ballards Farm and Plantation, Addington Hills. Croydon's character appraisal places the Ballards estate north of Addington Road and east of Littleheath Road, on a patch of Harwich Sand, and says parts of it are hard to get round, with few through routes.
Selsdon and Ballards was the name of the council ward until Croydon's wards were redrawn for the 2018 elections. The Ballards streets are now split: parts of Ballards Farm Road and Croham Valley Road are in Selsdon and Addington Village ward and parts in South Croydon ward, Ballards Rise is in South Croydon ward, and the postcodes divide between CR0 and CR2 as well. The shops, the 1920s Costain estate and the district centre on Addington Road are on the Selsdon page.
In the census area round Ballards Farm Road, Ballards Rise and Croham Valley Road (Croydon 033B), 62.3% of the 459 households lived in a semi and 33.1% in a detached house in 2021; 92.3% owned their home and 48.4% owned it outright. Only 7.4% rented privately. A house owned for decades may well have had its kitchen refitted, which is often when a double oven or a self-cleaning one goes in.

Self-cleaning ovens and a hand clean
A pyrolytic oven runs a programme that heats the empty cavity until food deposits turn to ash. The pyrolytic self-cleaning guide compares that programme with a professional clean. For a professional clean, racks, trays and side runners come out and are soaked and cleaned separately, and the cavity, fan cover and door glass are degreased by hand in the kitchen, on dust sheets.
Parking on the Ballards streets
Ballards is not on Croydon's list of 20 controlled parking zones. The team needs somewhere to park; on a semi-detached street that is usually the drive, if you are happy for it to go there.
Selsdon and Ballards oven cleaning questions
My address says South Croydon, but I live off Croham Valley Road. Is that covered?
Yes. CR2 has South Croydon as its post town, and part of Croham Valley Road and Ballards Rise are in South Croydon ward as well; the price list is the same either side of the ward line.
We have a double oven that was fitted in a refit. How long does it take?
About 2 hours, at £110. A single takes about 90 minutes.
What do we need to do before you arrive?
Leave the oven off so it is cool when we get there, keep a socket free near the kitchen, and leave room on the drive if you can.
Can you come at the weekend?
Yes, every day of the week, and Saturday and Sunday cost the same as a weekday.
What customers tell us
Brilliant clean, my oven looks like brand new. A 5 star clean.
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.
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.
