The service, London-wide
Grease is only half the problem here the other half is limescale
A period house with a cast-grate range cooker, a new-build tower where every machine sits behind a furniture panel, and a high-churn rental needing an oven photographed for a check-out are three completely different jobs. London holds all three within a mile of each other, which is why we decide the method at the door rather than selling one process to everybody.
Most of London is supplied with hard to very hard water (around 250–350 mg/l calcium carbonate), which is why kettles fur, dishwasher spray arms block and washing-machine heaters scale far faster here than in soft-water parts of the UK. Descaling is part of the method on every relevant appliance, not an upsell.
Every borough below has its own page, and every named area under it has one too — with local housing context, the demand profile that stock produces, honest guidance on what will and will not come off, and its own questions answered.

Five processes
The material decides the method not the price list
Dip-tank (heated immersion) cleaning
Racks, runners, fan covers, hob grates, burner caps and hood filters are lifted out and immersed in a heated tank of non-caustic solution in the van, so the carbon lifts chemically instead of being scraped off in your kitchen.
Best for: Ovens, range cookers, hobs and extractor filters with hard baked-on carbon and polymerised grease.
Non-caustic cavity system
A biodegradable, fume-free gel is applied to the cavity, given dwell time, then lifted with non-scratch pads and rinsed. No caustic soda, no acrid smell, no evacuating the flat while it works.
Best for: Every domestic oven cavity, including self-clean liners where caustic products would destroy the coating.
Acid descaling for hard-water London
A food-safe descaler is dosed into the washing machine, dishwasher, kettle or coffee machine and run at temperature so the calcium carbonate dissolves off heating elements, spray jets and hoses.
Best for: Every water-heating appliance on the London mains — kettles, washers, dishwashers and coffee machines.
Steam and enzyme cleaning
Dry steam at high temperature loosens grease and kills bacteria in the places a cloth cannot reach: door-seal folds, drawer housings, drip channels and gasket ribs, followed by an enzyme wipe.
Best for: Washing-machine seals, fridge gaskets, microwave cavities and dishwasher door folds where black mould forms.
Hand detailing and reassembly
Every panel is dried, stainless is polished with the grain, glass is buffed streak-free, and everything comes back together in the right order with the door re-seated and tested.
Best for: The last twenty minutes of every job, and the part that decides whether the kitchen looks cleaned or looks finished.
How the clean runs
From first message to first use
- Tell us the appliances and roughly how long since the last cleanSingle or double oven, hob type, whether the hood recirculates or vents outside, and which of the washer, dishwasher and fridge you want doing. A photo of the worst one is enough for us to price it.
- Fixed price per appliance or per bundle, no survey neededYou get a firm figure by message or phone, with the bundle discount, any parts and the minimum charge stated in writing before you book.
- Technician arrives with the dip tank already up to temperatureFloor and worktops protected, the van tank heated, and the removable parts out and immersed within the first ten minutes so the chemistry works while the cavity is done.
- Cavities, seals, filters and water paths cleaned in the right orderNon-caustic gel and dwell time in the oven, hand detailing on seals and drawer housings, filters and spray arms cleared, and descaler run through anything that heats London tap water.
- Reassembled, tested and usable immediatelyParts back in the right order, door re-seated, appliance switched on and checked, and no waiting time before you cook — the chemistry is fume-free and food-safe once rinsed.
Fixed prices
Appliance cleaning prices in London per appliance, not per hour
| Appliance | From | To | Time on site | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single oven | £55 | £75 | Door stripped and the inner glass panes cleaned on both faces, racks, runners and the fan cover dip-tanked, cavity degreased and the seal cleaned rather than soaked. | |
| Double oven | £75 | £105 | Both cavities, both doors and both sets of racks — the most common booking in a London family kitchen. | |
| Range cooker (90cm–110cm) | £110 | £160 | Twin or triple cavity, cast grates, burner caps and the splashback behind it. Priced by width and by how long it has been since the last clean. | |
| Aga or heat-storage cooker | £130 | £190 | Enamel-safe method, hotplate lids, ovens and the surrounding chrome, worked cold or barely warm. | |
| Hob (gas, ceramic or induction) | £20 | £35 | Grates, burner caps and crowns dip-tanked; ceramic and induction glass cleared of burnt-on sugar without scoring. | |
| Extractor hood and filters | £25 | £45 | Mesh grease filters dip-tanked until they drain clean, canopy degreased inside and out, and carbon filters checked and quoted if they need replacing. | |
| Microwave (freestanding or built-in) | £18 | £30 | Cavity, roof plate, turntable, ring and the vent grille — steam-loosened rather than scraped. | |
| Fridge freezer | £45 | £70 | Shelves and drawers out and washed, the drip channel and drain hole cleared, door gasket folds cleaned, and the condenser coils vacuumed so it stops working harder than it needs to. | |
| American-style fridge freezer | £65 | £95 | Twin doors, water and ice dispenser tray, filter housing and the coil stack behind it. | |
| Washing machine deep clean and descale | £45 | £65 | Door seal fold cleaned by hand, detergent drawer and housing scrubbed, pump filter emptied, and a descaling service wash run on the hottest cycle. | |
| Tumble dryer service clean | £35 | £55 | Lint filter, secondary filter, condenser block rinsed and the housing cleared — the fire-risk one people forget. | |
| Dishwasher deep clean and descale | £40 | £60 | Filter basket, both spray arms cleared jet by jet, seal folds, salt and rinse-aid reservoirs checked, then a descaling cycle run. | |
| Kettle and small-appliance descale | £10 | £20 | Kettle, coffee machine and steam iron descaled to the manufacturer's method — added to any visit for a nominal charge. | |
| Barbecue or outdoor grill | £75 | £130 | Grates, flame tamers, burners and the fat tray dip-tanked in the garden or on the balcony, seasonal work from April. |
Bundles
Kitchen trio — oven, hob and extractor
£89 – £125
The three that share the same grease. Cleaning the oven and leaving a loaded hood filter above it just re-deposits the problem within weeks, which is why this is the bundle we sell most.
Family kitchen — double oven, hob, extractor and microwave
£129 – £180
The full cooking side of a family kitchen reset in one visit, usually three to four hours on site.
Laundry pair — washing machine and tumble dryer
£72 – £105
Seal, drawer and pump filter on the washer; lint path and condenser on the dryer. In hard-water London the washer gets a descaling service wash as standard.
Wet appliances — washer, dishwasher and kettle descale
£88 – £130
Everything that heats London tap water, descaled in one visit — the single best-value job in a hard-water postcode.
Cold chain — fridge freezer and microwave
£58 – £92
Coils, gaskets and drip channel on the fridge, cavity and roof plate on the microwave.
Whole kitchen — every appliance in the room
£265 – £380
Booked most often before a tenancy check-out, after a renovation or before a property is photographed for sale. Two technicians where the kitchen warrants it, so it still fits inside a day.
£65 minimum charge per visit. All prices are in GBP and include VAT. A minimum charge of £65 applies to any visit, so a single small appliance is quoted against it rather than billed below cost. Where an appliance has never been cleaned and the carbon is baked hard, we say so and quote the extra time before we start rather than adding it to the invoice afterwards.
Extras and scope
Extras, and what every visit includes the same in every borough
| Extra | From | Unit | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carbon filter replacement (extractor) | £22 | per filter, part included | A recirculating hood with a saturated carbon filter pushes the smell straight back into the room however clean the mesh is. We check the model, quote the part and fit it on the visit. |
| Extra descaling — coffee machine, iron or shower head | £12 | per item | Added to any visit. Worth doing in London because the supply runs at 250–350 mg/l calcium carbonate and the scale is back within months if it is ignored. |
| Mould and odour treatment (washer or dishwasher) | £18 | per appliance | Where the seal fold is already black, we clean it mechanically, treat it and run a service wash — then tell you honestly if the gasket is beyond cleaning and needs replacing. |
| Condenser coil vacuum and pull-out | £15 | per appliance | Fridges and dryers work harder and cost more to run with dust-blanketed coils. We pull the unit out where the flooring allows and vacuum the stack. |
| Oven bulb or door seal replacement | £20 | part plus fitting | Common on ovens that have been cleaned with caustic products before. We source the part for the model and fit it rather than leaving you with a cold oven and a bad seal. |
| Check-out photo report | £15 | per visit | Before and after photographs of every appliance cleaned, timestamped and emailed with the invoice for the inventory clerk or letting agent. |
| Evening, weekend or same-day slot | £25 | per visit | A premium for pulling a technician off the planned round, usually for a check-out date, a handover or a viewing. |
| Commercial kitchen extract (TR19 Grease) | On survey | quoted per survey | Restaurant and café canopies, plenums and ductwork cleaned to the TR19 Grease standard with a certificate for your insurer. Surveyed rather than priced off a list. |
Included in every visit
- Floor and worktop protection laid before anything is opened
- Oven door dismantled and the inner glass panes cleaned on both faces, not just wiped from the front
- Racks, runners, fan covers, hob grates and hood filters dip-tanked in the van until they drain clean
- Non-caustic, fume-free chemistry so you can stay in the flat while we work
- Seals, gaskets and drawer housings cleaned by hand — the places smells actually come from
- Descaling on every water-heating appliance, because London runs hard
- Everything reassembled, tested and left ready to use the same minute we leave
- Faults found and reported in writing — a failed seal or element is told to you, not hidden
Not included — and why
- Appliance repair, wiring, plumbing and gas work — we clean, we do not service; anything electrical or gas is referred to a registered engineer.
- Disconnecting or moving integrated appliances that are plumbed or hard-wired in behind furniture panels, unless the isolation point is accessible.
- Restoring damaged enamel, scored ceramic glass or bare pyrolytic liners — that is damage, not soiling.
- Guaranteeing the removal of heat discolouration on stainless steel and oven glass, which is a chemical change in the material.
- Full commercial kitchen extract systems as a standard visit — ductwork is surveyed and quoted separately to TR19 Grease.
Most of London is supplied with hard to very hard water (around 250–350 mg/l calcium carbonate), which is why kettles fur, dishwasher spray arms block and washing-machine heaters scale far faster here than in soft-water parts of the UK. Descaling is part of the method on every relevant appliance, not an upsell.

Questions
London appliance cleaning questions, answered
Every six to twelve months for an oven and hood depending on how often you cook, annually for the fridge gasket and coils, and every six months for the washer and dishwasher descale. Rentals are usually done at every check-out. Leaving an oven three years does not treble the price, but it does add roughly a third to the time on site.
Yes, immediately. We use a non-caustic, fume-free system rather than caustic soda, so there is no waiting period, no lingering smell and no need to run a burn-off cycle before you cook. It also means you can stay in the property while we work.
Oven racks, side runners, the fan cover from the back of the cavity, hob grates, burner caps and crowns, and the extractor's mesh grease filters. They are immersed in a heated non-caustic solution in the van while the cavity is cleaned in your kitchen, so the whole job still fits in one visit. Anodised aluminium, painted trims and anything marked hand-wash-only stay out of the tank and are cleaned by hand.
Single oven £55–£75, double oven £75–£105, range cooker £110–£160, hob £20–£35, extractor £25–£45, fridge freezer £45–£70, washing machine £45–£65 and dishwasher £40–£60. Three or more appliances on the same visit take a bundle discount, and the minimum charge on any visit is £65. Parking, permits and ULEZ are already inside the figure.
No. Every job runs on a non-caustic, biodegradable cavity system plus a heated dip tank in the van for racks, grates, fan covers and hood filters. There are no fumes, you can stay in the property, and the appliance is usable the moment we finish.
Most of London is supplied with hard to very hard water at around 250–350 mg/l calcium carbonate. Scale coats kettle elements, blocks dishwasher spray jets, insulates washing-machine heaters and shortens appliance life. That is why descaling is part of our method on every water-heating appliance rather than an optional extra.
Yes. Integrated ovens, dishwashers and washers are cleaned in situ — doors, cavities, seals, filters and drawer housings are all reachable without unfixing panels. We do not disconnect plumbing, gas or hard-wired electrics; anything requiring that is referred to a registered engineer.
Carbon, grease and food residue will. Heat discolouration on stainless and glass, scored ceramic, pitted enamel and a bare pyrolytic liner are changes to the material itself and no clean reverses them. We identify which you have before starting rather than after you have paid.
We cover all 33 London boroughs and 329 named areas, each with its own page, local pricing context and FAQs. Pick your borough below to find your area, or call and we will confirm the slot and the price in one call.
Yes — it is one of the most common bookings we take in London. You get a dated, itemised invoice and, for £15, timestamped before-and-after photographs of every appliance for the inventory clerk or letting agent.
Yes, but not off a price list. Restaurant and café extract canopies, plenums and ductwork are surveyed and cleaned to the TR19 Grease standard with a certificate issued for your insurer.

Great service. Cleaners were early and left the flat cleaner than when we moved in.
Excellent service, would highly recommend. They were on time, professional and friendly. They went above and beyond to clean the entire apartment, the windows, all surfaces, even the ceilings and every appliance and fixtures. You want a job done well, give it to these guys!
