Oven cleaning across Shacklewell, covering the E8 terraces off Shacklewell Lane and the N16 streets up towards Rectory Road. Single ovens start at £77.
Perch Street, April Street and Seal Street were laid out in the early 1880s as modest yellowbrick terraces for working people, and the enclave they make off Shacklewell Green is partly pedestrianised, which means the van stops on Shacklewell Lane and the racks travel the last stretch by hand. That walk is short. The dip tank stays in the van regardless, so trays, shelves and side runners soak out there while the cavity, fan cover and door glass are degreased indoors, by hand, with non-caustic products.
Shacklewell sits in two postcode districts at once
Seal Street is E8 2FB. Somerford Grove Estate, ten minutes north on foot, is N16 7TL and closer to Rectory Road station than to anything in Dalston. One Shacklewell booking can be a Victorian terrace with a freestanding cooker jammed into a back kitchen, and the next a purpose-built flat with an integrated oven under the worktop, which is a single oven clean at £77. No call-out fee inside the North and South Circular, and no premium-area surcharge on either.
The conservation area keeps the kitchens small
Hackney designated the Shacklewell Green conservation area on 19 February 2018 and placed a non-immediate Article 4 direction over part of it, protecting original windows, doors and brick arches. Grade II* listed St Barnabas and the Merchant Taylors Mission Hall on Shacklewell Row sit inside the boundary. The terraces are uniform and modest in scale, so the kitchens are too, and a small kitchen is exactly why nothing caustic gets sprayed indoors here. No smell afterwards.

Questions we get asked in Shacklewell
Can you get a van to the Perch Street block?
Not onto it. Those streets are partly pedestrianised, so Shacklewell Lane and Shacklewell Road are the working edges and the racks are carried from there. Hackney runs controlled parking across the ward, so tell us the restriction hours when you book.
Do you cover the Somerford Grove Estate flats?
Yes, that whole N16 pocket by Rectory Road station is on the round. If it is one oven, that is £77 and about ninety minutes; a double is £110 and nearer two hours.
Will the kitchen smell of chemicals afterwards?
It should not. The caustic work happens in the heated tank in the van, well away from your worktop. Indoors the products are non-caustic, and the oven is heat-tested and signed off before anyone leaves.
Is there a surcharge inside the conservation area?
No. The price is the price, whether the address is a listed street off Shacklewell Green or a flat on the estate.
Reviews from our rounds
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.
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.
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.
