Oven cleaning around Shepherd's Bush Green, W12, using a dip-tank van and hand-degreased cavities. Single ovens start at £77, with prices fixed on the phone.
The Green is about eight acres of grass in a triangle, Uxbridge Road along its north side and Westfield behind that. The three and four storey terraces on the streets running north off that road went up in the late 1800s and were carved into small flats long before anyone thought about kitchen layout, which is why so much of the work in this postcode is one integrated single oven wedged into a run of units with the hob sitting directly above it.
The kitchens change street by street here
Flats above the shops on Goldhawk Road and Uxbridge Road run to 60cm built-unders. West towards Askew Road the terraces are wider and less subdivided, so range cookers on the Askew Road terraces turn up far more often than they do near the market. The Edward Woods Estate, north-east of the Holland Park roundabout, is different again: council-era kitchens there mostly took freestanding cookers, which pull forward without touching a plinth.
Parking near the Green is the awkward part
Hammersmith and Fulham runs controlled parking across Shepherd's Bush, and the roads around the Green sit inside the conservation area, where kerb space goes early. The Green is also one of the bigger bus interchanges in west London, with eighteen routes stopping on its edges, so the Uxbridge Road frontage is no use to a van at all. We park on a side street and carry the racks out. That part is normal.
What a W12 oven costs
Prices are fixed and given on the phone. W12 sits well inside the North and South Circular, so there is no call-out fee, and nothing extra is added for the Westfield end of the postcode.
| Single oven | £77 |
| Double oven | £110 |
| Range cooker, 90cm | £114 |
| Two-oven AGA | £143 |
| Hob | £23–28 |

A single takes about ninety minutes. A double is nearer two hours.
Questions we get from W12
Do you have to take the oven out of the units?
No. Racks, shelves, trays and side runners lift out and go to the heated tank in the van. The cavity, fan cover and door glass are done by hand where the oven stands, with non-caustic products, so the flat does not smell of chemicals afterwards.
Can you clean an oven the same week for an end of tenancy?
Usually. The rental churn around the Green is heavy, and a lot of the calls are letting agents on Goldhawk Road booking the last thing on the checkout list. We work seven days.
Will the door glass come clear?
If the door design splits, both panes get done. Some newer integrated doors are sealed, and then only the outer faces are reachable. The technician says which it is before starting.
Is the oven tested before you leave?
It is heat-tested and signed off.
