Monster Cleaning does single, double, range and AGA oven cleaning in Barking and Dagenham from £77, same-day usable, with a re-clean guarantee on every job.
What an oven clean costs here
Here is the price list, with no asterisks. A single oven is £77. A double oven is £110. A 90cm range cooker is £114, and a two-oven AGA is £143. A hob runs £23 to £28 depending on whether it is gas, ceramic or induction. An extractor or cooker hood is £28, and a microwave is £22.
That is the price you pay. We quote it before the cleaner sets off, so when the van pulls up on your road there is no on-the-doorstep maths and no surprise for a “heavily soiled” oven. Grease is grease. We expect it.
People ask why a range is dearer than a single when both are “one oven”. The honest answer is volume. A 90cm range has more glass, a wider cavity and nearly always a second small oven or a grill compartment hiding under the burners, so it takes longer and the price reflects the extra parts going through the tank rather than any premium for the badge on the front.
Booking a few things at once is the cheapest way to do it. A single oven, the hob above it and the extractor over that, done in one visit, saves you a second call-out fee and gets the whole cooking corner sorted in one go.
Grease is grease. We expect it.
The dip-tank, and why same-day matters
The racks come off and go in a tank.
That tank holds a non-caustic solution. It lifts the baked-on carbon off the racks, runners and panels without the eye-watering fumes you get from the old caustic gels, and crucially it does not leave a film that needs airing out for a day. The parts come back rinsed and dried before we put them back, which is the bit that lets you cook the same evening.
This is the difference that actually matters to most households in Barking and Dagenham, and it is worth spelling out plainly because the trade does not always make it clear: you do not lose your kitchen for the night, you do not get a chemical headache standing at the worktop afterwards, and there is no caustic residue left on surfaces a child or a pet could reach, because the dip-tank method keeps the harsh chemistry in the tank and away from your home entirely.
For the cavity itself, the door glass and the interior, we hand-clean on site. Carbon between the door panels is where most ovens look worst, and it is exactly the bit a quick wipe-down can never reach, so we split the door where the make allows and clean the glass from the inside.
What we strip down
A proper oven clean is not a spray and a wipe. The £77 single covers the lot. Here is what comes apart and what gets done:
- Door glass, including between the panels where the brown haze builds up.
- Racks, runners and side rails, dipped and brought back dry.
- The back panel, the fan and its housing.
- Interior walls, the roof of the cavity and the floor.
- Knobs, seals and the frame, wiped down and refitted.
One thing we will not do is scrub a catalytic or pyrolytic liner. Those rough panels are designed to burn off grease themselves, and scouring them wrecks the coating, so if your oven has them we clean around them and leave them alone. Tell us when you book and we plan for it.
- Catalytic liner
- A rough textured panel inside some ovens that absorbs and burns off grease during cooking. It must never be scrubbed or chemically cleaned.
- Pyrolytic cycle
- A self-clean setting that heats the cavity to around 500C to turn grease to ash. Useful, but it does nothing for the door glass or the racks, which is where we come in.
- Dip-tank
- An off-site tank of non-caustic solution that removable parts are soaked in, so the carbon lifts without harsh fumes in your kitchen.
Working around Barking and Dagenham
Most of our local work is on the Becontree estate. It is the biggest council estate ever built, put up between 1921 and 1935, roughly 26,000 homes spread over four square miles of two-storey cottages with gardens. They were a marvel in their day, the first houses many families had with an indoor toilet, and the ovens in them have seen a lot of Sunday dinners since.
Those cottage kitchens tend to be narrow, with the cooker tucked in a corner and a single gas oven rather than a big range. Newer flats are a different job. Out at Barking Riverside, where the Overground arrived in 2022 and thousands of homes are still going up toward the borough plan for 20,000 homes, the ovens are modern fan units in compact fitted kitchens, often with an induction hob and a built-in extractor we can do at the same time.
Parking is the thing we plan around. On the Becontree streets and around Barking town centre the bays fill up early, so we will ask about a permit or a spot near your door when we book, because lugging a power lead and dust sheets two streets over wastes your time and ours. If you are near Barking station, off Station Parade, we can usually reach you quickest of all.
We clean the whole borough. Dagenham, Chadwell Heath, Marks Gate, Rush Green, Castle Green, Thames View and the riverside, plus everything in the IG11 core around the town centre. If you are not sure we reach your road, ask. We almost certainly do.
The ovens in them have seen a lot of Sunday dinners since.
If your oven clean is part of a bigger move-out, it is worth booking it alongside our end of tenancy cleaning in Barking and Dagenham, because letting agents check the oven first and a clean one sets the tone for the rest of the inspection.
Who books us, and when
Three sorts of people ring us. Tenants moving out who want the deposit back. Homeowners who have hosted a big roast or a Christmas and cannot face the door glass. And landlords turning a property around between lets, which in this borough means most of them, because Barking and Dagenham runs a borough-wide selective licensing scheme and a clean cooker is part of getting a place ready.
Monster Cleaning Ltd has been doing this since 2014. We are a registered company, Companies House number 9919639, run out of 255 Upper Richmond Road West, SW14 8QS. We are honest about our Trustpilot too: we sit at 3.1 out of 5 across 128 reviews, which is not perfect, and we read the critical ones rather than bury them. The re-clean guarantee came directly out of that feedback.
What the guarantee means in practice is simple. If you open the oven the morning after and find a streak or a patch we missed, you call us and we come back and redo it, free. No form, no quibble. An oven either looks clean in daylight or it does not.

How to book
Ring 0333 555 2076 or email [email protected]. Tell us your postcode, what cooker you have, a single, a double, a range or an AGA, and whether you want the hob or extractor doing too. Give us a couple of dates that suit.
We come back with a fixed price and a two-hour arrival window, so you are not waiting in all day. The cleaner brings everything: water, a power lead, dust sheets and the tank kit. You just need to let us in, point at the oven and keep the kettle handy.
That is the whole process. No deposit to book, no padding on the price, and the oven works the moment we leave.
Frequently asked questions
How much does oven cleaning cost in Barking and Dagenham?
A single oven is £77 and a double oven is £110. A 90cm range cooker is £114 and a two-oven AGA is £143. Add a hob at £23 to £28, an extractor at £28, or a microwave at £22.
Do you cover the whole borough, from Becontree to Barking Riverside?
Yes. We clean ovens across IG11 and the wider borough, from the Becontree cottage estate through Dagenham, Chadwell Heath, Rush Green and the new flats out at Barking Riverside. If you are near Barking station we are usually with you fastest.
Is the oven usable the same day you clean it?
Yes. We use a non-caustic dip-tank, so the racks and parts come back rinsed and dry, not soaked in fumes. You can switch the oven on and cook the same evening. There is no overnight wait and no chemical smell left behind.
What does a single oven clean actually include?
We strip the oven down. Door glass, including between the panels where the grease sits, racks, runners, the back panel and the fan housing, plus the interior walls and the floor of the cavity. The £77 single price covers all of that, never only a wipe of the front.
Can you clean the hob and extractor at the same time?
Yes, and most people book them together. A hob is £23 to £28 depending on whether it is gas, ceramic or induction, and a cooker hood or extractor is £28. Doing them in one visit saves a second call-out.
Do you clean range cookers and AGAs?
We do. A 90cm range cooker is £114 because there is simply more cavity, more glass and usually a second smaller oven. A two-oven AGA is £143. Tell us the make when you book so the cleaner brings the right kit.
Will the dip-tank method harm my enamel or self-clean liners?
No. The dip-tank solution is non-caustic, so it lifts baked-on carbon without attacking enamel. The one thing to flag is catalytic or pyrolytic liners. Those panels must not be scrubbed, so tell us in advance and we leave them be and clean around them.
How long does an oven clean take?
A single oven is usually 60 to 90 minutes. A double, a range or an AGA takes longer because the parts go through the tank and need to come back dry before we reassemble. We would rather do it properly than rush and leave streaks.
Do I need to be in, and is there anything to prepare?
Someone needs to let us in and there has to be parking or a permit near the door, which matters on the Becontree streets where bays fill up early. Clear the worktop by the cooker if you can. That is all. We bring our own water, power lead and dust sheets.
Is this a one-off, or can it be a regular booking?
Both. Most Barking and Dagenham jobs are one-off deep cleans, often before a viewing or after a big roast. Landlords on the borough licensing scheme tend to book us between tenancies. If you want it twice a year, we will put you on a reminder.
What is the guarantee if I am not happy?
We back every oven with a re-clean guarantee. If you lift the door the next morning and spot a patch we missed, ring us and we come back and put it right at no charge. We would rather sort it than argue about it.
How do I book an oven clean in Barking and Dagenham?
Call 0333 555 2076 or email [email protected] with your postcode, the cooker type and a couple of dates. We confirm a two-hour arrival window and a fixed price up front, so there is no guessing on the day.
