Oven cleaning around Woolwich Common and the SE18 streets by the barracks, using the in-van dip-tank method, seven days a week, from £77 for a single oven.
The landmark on this patch is the Royal Artillery Barracks, its Georgian frontage running about a thousand feet along the north edge of the common, and the blocks behind it are being turned into homes. The Regiment left in 2007. The King's Troop still keeps its horses on the site.
What the barracks conversions leave you with
With the Grade II* barracks and the streets around it inside the Woolwich Common conservation area, the flats carved out of the old blocks keep a listed frontage while the kitchen behind runs a modern integrated single oven, which is the professional oven clean we do most often up here by the common. That single is £77. A handful of the larger converted apartments off Woolwich Common Road have a double instead.
| Single oven | £77 |
| Double oven | £110 |
| Range cooker, 90cm | £114 |
| Two-oven AGA | £143 |
| Hob | £23–28 |
| Extractor hood | £28 |
Parking off Academy Road
Academy Road is the South Circular here. It forms the eastern edge of the common, with Repository Road on the west and Ha-ha Road splitting the military side from the public grass, so we drop into a parking court or a side bay off the main road and carry the racks to the van to soak while the cavity is degreased by hand indoors. The van meets the ULEZ. The price is fixed on the phone with no premium for the area.
Do you clean ovens in the converted barracks flats?
Yes. Most run an integrated single oven at £77. The removable parts soak in the van so nothing drips on the kitchen inside a listed block.
Where do you park by the common?
In the development's parking court or a bay off Academy Road. Tell us the block when you call and we plan the walk to the van.
How long does a single oven take?
About ninety minutes. A double is nearer two hours because there are more shelves and trays to soak.
Is there a smell afterwards?
No. The inside of the oven is cleaned by hand with non-caustic products, so the flat is usable straight away.
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.
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.
