Oven cleaning in South Stifford, RM20, along London Road and the terraces off it. Dip-tank method, seven days a week, single ovens from £77.
The A13 cuts the old parish of Stifford in two, and South Stifford is everything on the south side of it. The medieval parish church of St Mary stayed on the north side; this half got a mission church of its own in 1920, which was handed over to the Grays Thurrock parish in 1959. The civil parish itself was abolished in 1936.
Terraces and flats, mostly
Listings across RM20 run to three-bed terraced houses and two-bed flats ahead of anything else, and South Stifford is the residential strip that keeps Grays town centre apart from West Thurrock and Lakeside. People here work the factories and the retail sheds around them. A terraced kitchen of that age is narrow, the cooker is usually freestanding with a separate hob, and there is no room to swing a cleaning kit about. Booking the hob in a London Road terrace alongside the oven adds £23–28 depending on the type.
Shift patterns beat office hours
We work seven days, which suits a household where somebody is asleep at two in the afternoon because they finished a night at six. Say so when you book and we plan round it. The dip tank lives in the van, so the noisy, smelly half of the job never comes through your front door at all, and the racks, shelves, trays and side runners are carried out and back rather than washed in your sink.
The indoor half is done by hand
Cavity, fan cover and door glass, degreased with non-caustic products, and the oven heat-tested and signed off before we leave. Nothing is left curing. Fixed price, no premium-area surcharge on a South Stifford address. RM20 has been the postcode here since the district came in during July 1995, and the post town is Grays.

Is my oven too far gone?
Rarely. Baked carbon lifts in a heated tank in a way it never will off a sponge at the sink.
Do you charge more out here than in London?
No. Single £77, double £110, and the figure is fixed on the phone when you ring 020 8077 5225.
Can you fit it round a checkout inspection?
Yes. Give us the date and we work back from it. The door glass is split where the design allows, which is what gets looked at.
How long does it take?
About ninety minutes for a single oven, two hours for a double.
Said after the sign-off
Once again a great job guys, I will see you in a couple of months.
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.
Brilliant clean, my oven looks like brand new. A 5 star clean.
