Islington · EC1V · Oven cleaning
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Old Street fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide oven cleaning in Old Street EC1V for houses and flats around Old Street roundabout and Bunhill Fields burial ground. From £65, quoted in writing before the visit, with one technician and a van-mounted dip tank; two for commercial ranges or where a lift booking limits the time on site Every shelf, rack and fan cover is dismantled, dip-tanked and rebuilt in the kitchen it lives in.
Overview
Oven cleaning in Old Street EC1V is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Islington, most of them post-war. 4,949 households sit inside this EC1V patch, 98% of them flats, so we quote on access near Old Street roundabout and Bunhill Fields burial ground rather than a London average.
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
Most London postcodes have next-day availability, and end-of-tenancy jobs are regularly covered within 48 hours. Old Street (Northern, Great Northern) is the nearest station, so a EC1V visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, which is what a 98% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Old Street actually produces in EC1V, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Old Street gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, where 19% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
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. Red-route roundabout with no kerbside loading, goods-lift booking in the towers and gated estate yards.
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. They went absolutely above and beyond and cleaned inside cabinets/the fridge even though… Read in full →

Booked a oven clean (Sheffield) and they did an amazing job. I had tried to clean my oven two days before and got that mad with it I was thinking about buying a new oven. They did an absolutely amazing job on it. It looks brand new. I didn’t get the cleaners name but I… Read in full →

Working in Old Street
In Old Street (EC1V) the split is 98% flats to 2% houses over 4,949 households, and the stock is post-war.
With 28% private renting against 19% owner-occupied, most EC1V bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, which is what a 98% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Old Street actually produces, so the fixing that matters in Old Street is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Old Street gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, where 19% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Old Street sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — the roundabout, tech offices and warehouse conversions on the City fringe — which is why a EC1V quote is not a Islington average.
On access, red-route roundabout with no kerbside loading, goods-lift booking in the towers and gated estate yards — one reason one technician and a van-mounted dip tank; two for commercial ranges or where a lift booking limits the time on site. Fitters travelling in use Old Street (Northern, Great Northern).
