Overview
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Romford, oven cleaning here covers supply-free fitting from £65. With 32% of Romford's 18,759 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in RM1 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
Step 1
Floor sheets and worktop covers down before anything is lifted out of the oven.
Step 2
Removable parts go into the heated tank in the van, off your worktop and out of your sink.
Step 3
Non-caustic gel, dwell time, then a scrape and rinse — no fumes left behind for the kitchen.
Step 4
Door split where the design allows so the film between the panes actually comes off.
Step 5
Reassembled, wiped down and switched on with you there so you know it works.
Why choose us
We expect solid London stock brick in Romford, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — the pattern behind 18,759 households inside the RM1 neighbourhood in RM1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in RM1, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — measured on the walk in from Romford (Elizabeth line) rather than assumed from a map.
Our technicians carry £5m public liability, work to COSHH sheets for every product on the van and use non-caustic systems, which is what most London managing agents now insist on in occupied blocks.
One technician and a van-mounted dip tank; two for commercial ranges or where a lift booking limits the time on site. Ring-road one-way system, market-day closures and booked lifts in the new blocks.
Most London postcodes have next-day availability, and end-of-tenancy jobs are regularly covered within 48 hours. Romford (Elizabeth line) is the nearest station, so a RM1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single oven | £65 | 60–90 min | Shelves, racks and the fan cover go into a heated dip tank in the van; the cavity is cleaned by hand with a non-caustic gel. |
| Double oven or range cooker | £95 | 1.5–2.5 hrs | Two cavities, two sets of door glass and usually a heavier carbon load on the lower oven. |
| Oven, hob and extractor bundle | £120 | 2–3 hrs | Booked together the crew only pays one London parking charge and one visit, so the bundle is cheaper than three separate calls. |
| Ceramic or induction hob only | £35 | 30–45 min | Burnt-on sugar and protein needs a scraper and polish, not a chemical soak — quick, so priced against the minimum charge. |
| Aga-style or commercial range | £160 | 3–4 hrs | Cast-iron ranges and commercial units are stripped panel by panel and re-seasoned rather than dipped. |

Scope
We are over the moon with our one-off deep clean, the team (led by Mo, i think he said his name was!) turned up early and were done within 4 hours, we can't believe how much they got done in that time.

Romford is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.

Yes — with 32% of Romford homes being flats, we work on floor sheets and dip removable parts in the van across RM1 — and a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood, with this being a short walk from Romford (Elizabeth line), so nothing is soaked in a kitchen sink shared by other appliances.
Regularly. 23% of RM1 homes are privately rented, with this being a short walk from Romford (Elizabeth line), and a carbon-free oven is on most London Borough of Havering inventory checklists on this side of Havering. Book it alongside the end-of-tenancy clean or on its own on RM1 jobs.
