How much is appliance cleaning in Southwark?

Single oven £55–£75, double oven £75–£105, range cooker £110–£160, hob £20–£35, extractor and filters £25–£45, fridge freezer £45–£70, washing machine £45–£65 and dishwasher £40–£60. Three or more appliances on one visit take a bundle discount, and a £65 minimum applies to any visit.

Do you use caustic oven cleaner?

No. Every Southwark job runs on a non-caustic, biodegradable cavity system plus a heated dip tank in the van for the removable parts. There are no fumes, you can stay in the property while we work, and the oven is usable the moment we finish rather than after a burn-off cycle.

Do you descale washing machines and dishwashers in Southwark?

Yes, and it is part of the clean rather than an extra. The supply across Southwark is hard to very hard at around 250–350 mg/l calcium carbonate, which scales heating elements, blocks dishwasher spray jets and shortens appliance life. Kettles, coffee machines and irons can be added at £12 each.

Do you charge extra for parking or the Congestion Charge in Southwark?

No. Part of Southwark is inside the Congestion Charge zone and all of it is inside ULEZ. Our vans are compliant and any permit, bay suspension or zone charge is absorbed into the fixed price we quote you.

How quickly can you attend in Southwark?

Standard bookings are usually within two to four days, and same-day or next-day slots are available for a £25 premium where a technician can be moved. Evening and weekend slots run across the borough at the normal rate card.

Do you also cover the boroughs bordering Southwark?

Yes — Lambeth, Lewisham, City of London and Tower Hamlets are all covered, each with their own borough page and their own area pages beneath it. Our Southwark rounds already cross those boundaries daily, so an address a street outside the borough line is quoted on the same rate card and often on the same visit as one inside it.

Can you combine appliance cleaning with another service in Southwark?

That is how most Southwark bookings run. End of tenancy cleaning, one-off deep cleaning, regular domestic cleaning, after builders cleaning, carpet cleaning and office cleaning all operate across the borough, and anything added to the same visit shares one journey rather than paying travel twice. The most common pairing here is the kitchen appliances plus a deep clean of the same kitchen, booked as a single job with one price and one arrival window.

Where in Southwark do you work most?

Bermondsey, Camberwell and Canada Water see the highest volume, but all 14 areas across SE1, SE5, SE15, SE16, SE17, SE21, SE22, SE24 run on the same teams and the same rate card. Each has its own page with the local housing mix, access and permit position, the appliances most often booked there and its own questions answered — useful if you want the detail for your postcode rather than the borough average.

Do I book through the Southwark page or my area page?

Either — both reach the same team and the same pricing. The area page is worth opening first if parking, a permit or lift access is likely to matter, because it carries the specific note for that postcode. If you are booking two addresses in different parts of Southwark or one here and one in Lambeth, tell us both and we will schedule them on one round and quote them together.

The service, locally

Appliance cleaning across Southwark Central London

Riverside warehouse conversions, huge estates like the Aylesbury, Victorian terraces and Dulwich's detached villas. With 78% of the borough's dwellings flats (ONS Census 2021), the split between a freestanding range that can be pulled out and an integrated oven cleaned in situ behind a furniture panel is decided by the building as much as by the appliance — lift access, loading bays and carry distance to the van tank are part of the quote, not an afterthought.

London's medieval overspill of inns and theatres, then wharves and warehouses; the riverside was rebuilt for offices and flats from the 1990s. London Borough of Southwark sets the parking and permit regime our technicians work within, and Riverside loading restrictions, red routes on the New Kent Road and CPZs from SE1 to Peckham. Permits, ULEZ and the Congestion Charge are already inside the price we quote you, and every water-heating appliance gets a descale because the supply here runs at around 250–350 mg/l calcium carbonate.

Dominant demand profile: New-build and integrated kitchens. Access and parking: Riverside loading restrictions, red routes on the New Kent Road and CPZs from SE1 to Peckham.

Descaling on the washer, dishwasher and kettle is inside these figures — in London that is part of the clean rather than an add-on. £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.

How the clean runs

An appliance clean in Southwark from first message to first use

Five steps, the same on every Southwark job — with the dip tank up to temperature before the technician knocks and the appliance usable the moment we finish.

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.

Why Hello Services

What an appliance clean in Southwark actually gets you

Non-caustic, so you can stay in the flat

No caustic soda, no fumes, no evacuating the property for an afternoon and no burn-off cycle before you cook again. In Bermondsey that matters most in flats and studios where there is nowhere else to sit it out.

The parts come out and go in a heated tank

Grates, racks, runners, fan covers and mesh filters soak while the cavity is cleaned by hand, so a full Bermondsey appliance list still fits inside one visit instead of two.

Descaling is part of the job here

London water runs hard to very hard at around 250–350 mg/l calcium carbonate. Kettles, washers and dishwashers in SE16 scale fast, so descaling is inside the price rather than an upsell added on the doorstep.

Honest before-the-job assessment

We tell you which marks are carbon and which are heat discolouration, scored glass or pitted enamel that no clean reverses. You get the truth up front rather than a surprise at the end.

Local access solved by us

Railway-arch loading limits, tight factory-yard entrances and permit bays. Permits, suspensions and ULEZ are arranged and paid for by us and sit inside the quoted figure — and the van position is planned before the day, because the dip tank travels with it.

Insured, uniformed, DBS-checked

Every technician working in Bermondsey carries public liability cover, arrives in branded uniform and works to a written method statement you can ask to see.

Five processes

The material decides the method not the price list

The same five processes run across every Southwark postcode. Which one leads is decided by what the appliance is made of, whether it is integrated or freestanding, and how much of the problem is limescale rather than grease.

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.
Time: Runs alongside the cavity clean — no extra time on site
What it cannot do: It cannot be used on anodised aluminium, painted trims or anything the manufacturer marks as hand-wash only, so those parts are cleaned by hand instead.

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.
Time: 45–90 minutes depending on cavity size and build-up
What it cannot do: It will not restore a pyrolytic liner that has already been burnt bare, and it does not repair discoloured enamel.

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.
Time: Runs during the visit while other appliances are worked on
What it cannot do: It cannot reverse an element that has already failed, and it will not fix a blocked drain pump — that is an engineer's job.

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.
Time: 10–25 minutes per appliance
What it cannot do: Steam alone will not shift polymerised carbon on oven racks — those need the dip tank.

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.
Time: 15–30 minutes per appliance
What it cannot do: It cannot hide damage — chipped enamel, scored glass and failed seals are reported, not disguised.

Fixed prices

Appliance cleaning prices in Southwark borough-wide

Range cooker (90cm–110cm)	£110	£160	2–3 hrs	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.

Microwave (freestanding or built-in)	£18	£30	15–25 min	Cavity, roof plate, turntable, ring and the vent grille — steam-loosened rather than scraped.
Fridge freezer	£45	£70	45–70 min	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.

Kettle and small-appliance descale	£10	£20	10–20 min	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	1.5–2.5 hrs	Grates, flame tamers, burners and the fat tray dip-tanked in the garden or on the balcony, seasonal work from April.

Bundles booked most often in Southwark

Kitchen trio — oven, hob and extractor

£89 – £125

Saves about £15 against the individual prices

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

Saves about £25 against the individual prices

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

Saves about £13 against the individual prices

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

Saves about £17 against the individual prices

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

Saves about £8 against the individual prices

Coils, gaskets and drip channel on the fridge, cavity and roof plate on the microwave.

Whole kitchen — every appliance in the room

£265 – £380

Saves about £55 against the individual prices

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 local costs

What can change the price in Southwark and what never does

Add-ons are optional and priced up front across Southwark — nothing is added on the day without your say-so.

Appliance cleaning extras in Southwark
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.

Parking and permits: Railway-arch loading limits, tight factory-yard entrances and permit bays. London Borough of Southwark permits or bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us where the street needs one — and because the dip tank lives in the van, kerbside access within a hose-and-tray carry of your kitchen genuinely matters here.
Charging zones: Part of Southwark sits inside the Congestion Charge zone and all of it is inside ULEZ.
Getting parts to the tank: SE16 is flat-dominated, so racks, filters and grates are carried down to the van in sealed trays. Above the third floor without a lift we bring a portable immersion tray up instead, which adds around twenty minutes to a double-oven job.
Water hardness: 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.
Integrated versus freestanding: Newer SE16 flats are largely integrated: appliances sit behind furniture panels with limited pull-out room, so we clean in situ and only remove a panel where the fixings allow it safely.
Minimum charge: £65 minimum on any visit in Bermondsey. One small appliance on its own is quoted against it, so adding the hob and the hood to an oven booking is nearly always better value than booking twice.

Scope

What is included in Southwark and what honestly is not

Every Southwark booking includes the list on the left at no extra cost. The list on the right is work we do not sell as appliance cleaning, because no clean fixes it.

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.

About the borough

Southwark in context

South-bank riverfront and Borough Market at the top, Peckham and Dulwich villages at the bottom. London's medieval overspill of inns and theatres, then wharves and warehouses; the riverside was rebuilt for offices and flats from the 1990s.

Riverside warehouse conversions, huge estates like the Aylesbury, Victorian terraces and Dulwich's detached villas. On ONS Census 2021 figures the borough holds 130,820 households with a median age of 33.1, 31% owner-occupied and a dwelling split of 78% flats to 22% houses — the mix that decides how many kitchens here are integrated and how many take a freestanding range.

Access sets the day's programme. Riverside loading restrictions, red routes on the New Kent Road and CPZs from SE1 to Peckham. London Borough of Southwark permits and suspensions are arranged and paid for by us, and any cost sits inside the quoted price.
