Oven cleaning across Thamesmead, SE28 and SE2, using the in-van dip-tank method and non-caustic degreasing by hand, with single ovens from £77.
Thamesmead is a town of flats, so nearly every job here is a single oven at £77. The old GLC blocks around Southmere Lake, the concrete towers and walkways that stood in for the future in A Clockwork Orange, still hold thousands of compact kitchens with one freestanding cooker each. The new Peabody blocks by Cygnet Square, the reworked town centre next to The Nest, come with a slim integrated single oven behind a cupboard door. Both clean the same way.
The kitchens by Southmere Lake
Small kitchen, big grease, and no easy way to open a window onto a walkway two floors up, which is where the in-van method matters, because the racks, shelves, trays and side runners lift out and soak in the heated tank down in the van while the cavity, fan cover and door glass are cleaned indoors by hand with non-caustic products, so nothing is left to air out. A single takes about ninety minutes. The 1990s Thamesmead West stock, the yellow-brick riverside blocks off the A2016, tends toward newer integrated ovens.
Peabody is the landlord across most of the estate, and it is midway through building around twenty thousand homes here, so between the churn of tenancies and the new lettings the end-of-tenancy oven is a steady booking. We heat-test every oven before we leave.
What it costs
Prices are fixed and quoted on the phone, with no premium-area surcharge. A single oven suits almost every flat, so our single oven clean is the one we book most in SE28.
| Single oven | £77 |
| Double oven | £110 |
| Range cooker, 90cm | £114 |
| Two-oven AGA | £143 |
| Hob | £23–28 |
| Extractor hood | £28 |
| Microwave | £22 |
Parking and the carry up
Parking is rarely tight here, since the estate was laid out with surface bays and the spine road, Harrow Manorway, keeps traffic off the residential decks. The carry is the slow part instead. Tell us the block and floor and whether the lift is running, because the tank and kit ferry from the van. Thamesmead is inside the London-wide ULEZ, and our vans meet the standard. Abbey Wood, in SE2, has had the Elizabeth line since 2022 and is the nearest station.
Do you clean the integrated ovens in the new blocks by Cygnet Square?
Yes. Most are a single integrated oven, the £77 clean. Tell us the floor and whether there is a lift when you book.
Is the oven usable straight after?
Yes. We heat-test it and sign it off before leaving, and the non-caustic products mean there is nothing to air out first.
Do you do end-of-tenancy ovens for the Peabody flats?
We do. Outgoing tenants and agents book them between lets, and we sign the oven off for the inventory.
Can you add the hob and microwave?
Yes. A hob is £23–28 and a microwave is £22, added to whichever oven price applies.
Reviews from our rounds
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.
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.
