Oven cleaning across Victoria Docks, E16, from the Britannia Village townhouses to the rented flats off Fort Street. Single ovens from £77, fixed on the phone.
The dock this postcode is named after opened in 1855 on what had been Plaistow Marshes, was taking over 850,000 tons of shipping a year by 1860, only gained its Royal prefix in 1880, and finally closed to commercial traffic in 1981. What sits on the water now has an unusually deliberate shape. Britannia Village was commissioned by the London Docklands Development Corporation and built between 1994 and 2000 by Wimpey Homes, the Peabody Trust and East Thames Housing Group, with the first residents moving in during 1996.
A planned tenure mix, and what it means for the cooker
Wimpey took 28 acres for 777 private dwellings and six shops, billed at the time as the largest housing development by a single private developer anywhere in Docklands, while Peabody started 85 homes for rent on a four-acre site off Fort Street and 140 social homes went in at six integrated locations across the village. The result is a real spread of dwelling types on the same streets: one-bed flats, three-bed galleried duplexes, four-bed townhouses. The cooker follows the house. A townhouse kitchen often runs to a double at £110 or a 90cm range at £114, while the flats are usually one integrated oven. We quote from what you describe, and the price list does not move for a Docklands postcode.
Rental churn sets the diary
A large share of the village has been let and re-let since the late nineties, so much of the work here is checkout work with a date attached. That suits the method. Racks, shelves, trays and side runners soak in the heated tank in the van while the cavity, fan cover and door glass are degreased indoors by hand, and the oven is heat-tested and signed off before we leave, which is the state an inventory clerk is looking for.

My landlord wants a receipt for the check-out. Do you provide one?
Yes. Ask when you book and we will put it in your name with the date on it.
The galleried duplexes have the kitchen open to the living space. Is that a problem?
No, and it is why we work this way. Nothing caustic is sprayed in your room. The tank is in the van.
Do you charge extra to bring the tank kit up to a top-floor flat?
No. The price holds whatever the floor, and there is no call-out fee inside the North and South Circular.
How long should I allow?
About ninety minutes for a single oven and roughly two hours for a double.
What customers tell us
Nice hardworking lads that always do a good job. We used them for our old flat when moving out and for the new one now, both jobs were done very professionally. My wife is very impressed with the results and would recommend them to friends and family.
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.
