Stone parish had 8,525 people at the 2001 Census and 12,890 in 2021, about half as many again in twenty years.
Waterstone Park and the newer housing near Bluewater
Bluewater, which is inside the parish, sits in an old chalk pit, Western Quarry, a pit of about 100 hectares and some 50 metres deep; the shopping centre application went in in 1986, and by 2003 Dartford Council was pointing to Waterstone Park, off London Road, as one of the award-winning housing schemes built close to it. In Stone Castle ward, 37.1% of the 3,269 households lived in a purpose-built flat in 2021, 26.7% rented privately and 5.0% were in shared ownership.
A newer flat usually has a built-in single under the worktop and a hood above the hob, which will be one of two kinds.
- Recirculating hood
- Draws the cooking air through a grease filter and usually a carbon filter, then blows it back into the kitchen. Common where there is no outside wall to vent through.
- Ducted hood
- Sends the air out of the building through a duct. It still has a grease filter, which clogs the same way.
Either kind can be cleaned at the same visit as the oven, for £28 on top of the oven price.
Hayes Road, Louvain Road and the old parish
Stone is older than the estates suggest. Kent County Council's notes on the parish list an Iron Age settlement at Louvain Road, Roman settlements at Stone Castle Quarry, Stone Castle and Waterstone Park, and Roman cemeteries at Stone Court Pit, Cotton Lane and Stone Cemetery. Watling Street, now the A296, still forms the parish's southern edge. In the 19th century numerous cement works opened in the parish, linked by tramlines to wharves on the Thames. St Mary's church went up between 1251 and 1274, and its own history notes that the work is so close to Westminster Abbey's that most writers think the same masons built both.
The streets around Hayes Road and Louvain Road are mostly houses. In that census area, 35.9% of the 594 households lived in a terraced house in 2021 and 33.0% in a semi, and 65.7% owned their home. A house like these may have a built-in single, a double or a freestanding cooker. Each comes apart the same way: the racks and trays come out and are soaked and cleaned separately, and the cavity and door glass are cleaned by hand indoors.
Permit streets on the Greenhithe side of Stone
Dartford Council lists Castle Street, King Edward Road and Providence Street under its Greenhithe permit schemes, but all three are inside Stone parish, near Greenhithe station. Tell us the street when you book; the team needs a legal place to park close to the door.

Stone oven cleaning questions
My address is DA2, not DA9. Is that still Stone?
It can be. Stone parish takes in streets in both postcode districts, and the price is fixed on the phone before the visit.
Can the oven, hob and hood all be done together?
Yes. A single oven with the hob and the extractor is £117 for all three; a double oven with both is £143.
How long does it take?
About 90 minutes for a single and about 2 hours for a double. A 90cm range takes 2 to 3 hours.
Is Bean part of Stone?
It was. Bean was the southern half of Stone parish until it became a parish of its own; it has its own Bean page.
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.
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.
