Oven Cleaning
A full degrease of the oven cavity, door glass, racks and trays, taking off baked-on carbon so the appliance looks ready for a check-out inspection.

What a full oven clean includes
Every working surface inside and out gets attention, not only the bits you can see when the door is shut. We take out the racks, trays and side runners, soak them, and scrub the cavity walls, the roof and the floor of the oven back to bare metal. The inner and outer door glass comes up clear, and we wipe down the front, the dials and the seal.
Where the model allows it, we lift out the fan cover and the bottom plate so the hidden grease behind them goes too.
Why the oven decides so many check-outs
The oven is the one appliance inventory clerks open and photograph first. A greasy cavity or smeared glass reads as a flat left dirty, and that single line on the report can hold back part of a deposit. Tenants tend to dread it because home methods rarely shift baked-on carbon.
Clerks know what a properly cleaned oven looks like, so a thorough job here often settles the kitchen section of the inventory quickly and quietly.
Single oven, double or range: what changes
Size and the number of cavities are what move the price. A single oven starts from £77. A double or a built-under pair takes longer because there are two cavities, two sets of glass and more racks, so it sits higher than a single.
Range cookers are the big job. They carry several cavities, a wide grill and often a separate warming drawer, and we quote those on the day once we have seen the model. Tell us the make and how many doors when you book and we will give you a figure before we start.
How long it takes and what to expect
A single oven usually takes around an hour to ninety minutes, depending on how heavy the build-up is. Doubles and ranges run longer. We work mostly at your property and use trays and mats to keep the floor and worktops clean while the racks soak.
The cavity is touch-dry by the time we leave, though we ask you to give it a short while before heavy use. If anything is missed, our 48-hour re-clean guarantee (terms apply) covers a return visit.

Common questions
Do you use caustic chemicals inside the oven?
Inside your kitchen we work with non-caustic products, which are safer around food surfaces and have no harsh fumes. The heavy lifting happens off-site: racks and trays go into a heated dip-tank in the van or at our base, where a stronger soak floats off carbon that hand-scrubbing alone would struggle with.
Can I use the oven the same day?
Yes. The cavity is touch-dry when we finish, so you can use it that day. We suggest running it empty on a moderate heat for ten or fifteen minutes first to clear any faint residue and smell before you cook, then it is ready as normal.
Do you remove the door glass?
On many ovens the inner door panels can be separated to clean the surfaces between them, where grease and drips collect and leave that hazy look. We do this only where the door is designed to come apart safely. If a model is sealed or fragile, we clean it in place rather than force it.
Can you do the hob and extractor at the same time?
Yes, both are add-ons priced by type. A ceramic or induction top differs from gas burners with removable caps and trivets, and an extractor depends on whether it has metal filters or a fitted hood. Mention what you have when booking and we will add the cost to your oven quote.
Does it matter if my oven is gas or electric?
We clean both. With gas we work carefully around the burners and the ignition so nothing is knocked out of place, and with electric we keep the elements and fan dry. The price is set by the size and number of cavities rather than the fuel.
Will an oven clean help me get my deposit back?
A clean oven removes one of the most common reasons clerks flag a kitchen, so it certainly helps. We cannot promise what a landlord or agent decides, since that depends on the whole property and your agreement, but a degreased cavity and clear glass take a frequent dispute off the table.
