Oven cleaning around Turnpike Lane, N8, with the racks soaked in the van and the cavity degreased by hand, no smell afterwards, single ovens from £77.
If you live on the Harringay Ladder you already know parking is the hard part of any visit. The Ladder is the grid of twenty Edwardian terrace streets between Green Lanes and Wightman Road, and most of those houses long ago became maisonettes and conversion flats. A ground-floor flat there usually has a freestanding gas cooker in a narrow galley kitchen, and the fan oven behind it collects grease you cannot shift with a spray.
How a clean runs here
The racks, shelves, trays and side runners come out and soak in a heated tank in the van parked outside, while the cavity, fan cover and door glass are degreased by hand indoors with non-caustic products, which is why there is nothing to smell once we have gone. On a Ladder house with a first-floor flat we carry the parts up and back, so the technician needs a space close by. A single oven takes about ninety minutes.

Around Ducketts Common and the station
Closer to Turnpike Lane station and Ducketts Common the flats above the Green Lanes shops turn over quickly, which is where the end-of-tenancy work comes from. A letting agent wants the oven clean for the inventory, and we heat-test it and sign it off before leaving so the deposit does not become an argument. Larger family houses off Wightman Road sometimes keep a double or a range instead, and our double oven cleaning covers those.

Where will the van park on the Ladder?
Wherever there is a legal space near your door. The Green Lanes bays run pay and display in the daytime, so a spot on your own street is easier if you can flag one when you book.
Can you clean a freestanding cooker as well as the oven?
Yes. We clean the oven cavity, glass, fan cover and racks, and we can do the hob on top of it for £23–28.
Do I need to be in for the whole visit?
No, just to let us in and out. A single is about ninety minutes, a double nearer two hours, and the oven is usable straight after the heat test.
Said after the sign-off
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.
Brilliant clean, my oven looks like brand new. A 5 star clean.
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.
