For £77 and up, London Oven Cleaners clean ovens round Walthamstow Queens Road station. Before we leave the oven is lit and you inspect it, and anything not right is cleaned again.
Queen's Road Cemetery opened in October 1872 on 4.45 hectares bought by the Walthamstow Burial Board. Its two ragstone Gothic chapels are by R. C. Sutton of Nottingham, and the East London Coroner's Court has the same address, Queen's Road, E17 8QP.
Queens Road, Edinburgh Road and the 1894 railway
The Victoria County History says Queens Road and Boundary Road were built to link Markhouse Road with Hoe Street in the south of the old parish. The Midland railway's Tottenham and Forest Gate line, finished in 1894, had a stop at Walthamstow on Edinburgh Road, which is today's Walthamstow Queens Road station, a few minutes' walk from Walthamstow Central.
South-east of the cemetery, the county history picks Lansdowne Road, built from 1894 to 1897, as the most typical example of the usual terrace of 1870 to 1914: two storeys, slate roofs and yellow brick, often with bay windows.

A terrace that has been split into flats usually has a kitchen, and so an oven, in each flat, and each oven is priced by its type. The racks and trays come out and are soaked and cleaned separately. The cavity, the fan cover and the door glass are degreased by hand in each kitchen, and the door is split where its design allows.
Households around Exeter Road in 2021
In the census output area round Exeter Road (postcode E17 7QJ), 74 of 150 households rented privately at the 2021 Census and 69 owned their home. By building, 64 households lived in a terraced house and 23 in part of a converted house. That is close to half the homes let.
A let flat changes hands more often than an owned house, and the oven is usually on the checkout inventory. Agents can have the invoice made out to the agency, photos for the file, and keys picked up for an empty flat by arrangement.

The Markhouse and QB parking zones
The council's map puts the streets round the station (Edinburgh Road, Exeter Road, Sylvan Road, Priory Avenue) in the Markhouse zone (MH), controlled Monday to Saturday, 8am to 6.30pm. South-east of the cemetery, Lansdowne Road, Somerset Road, Belgrave Road and St Barnabas Road are in Queen's Road/Boundary Road (QB), which has a split day: Monday to Friday 8am to 12.30pm and 2.30pm to 6.30pm, and Saturday 8am to 6.30pm. Neither zone is controlled on Sunday.
The team needs somewhere to park for the whole visit. The map is for reference only, so read the signs on the street before parking. A Sunday visit is charged at the weekday price.
Questions from around Queens Road
We own both flats in a converted house. How are the two ovens priced?
Each oven is priced by its type, £77 for a single, and the total is fixed on the phone before the visit. A single takes about 90 minutes.
Does the QB lunchtime gap help with parking?
Possibly. The map shows QB with no controls from 12.30pm to 2.30pm on weekdays. That is two hours, and a single oven takes about 90 minutes on site and a double about two hours, so a visit would only just fit. The signs on your street carry the hours.
Is Queens Road a different area from Walthamstow Central?
The two stations are about 400 metres apart. Walthamstow Central has its own page, and so does Markhouse, the ward the area sits in.
Do you clean freestanding cookers as well as built-in ovens?
Yes. Freestanding cookers and built-in ovens are both on the price list, £77 for a single oven, and the hob has its own price.

Reviews from our rounds
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.
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.
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.
