What you get
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.
- Oven cavity degreased, including the back, roof and floor
- Door glass cleaned between the panels where it is removable
- Racks, trays and shelves soaked and scrubbed
- Exterior, controls and handle wiped down and polished
- Hob and extractor cleaned as add-ons (tell us the type)
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.
- Racks, trays and runners soaked, then scrubbed by hand
- Cavity floor, walls and roof degreased to the metal
- Door glass cleared inside and out, including between the panes where it splits
- Dials, seals and the outer shell wiped down
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.
