Here is the price list, with no asterisks.

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.
Why a range costs more
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
- 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 to soak and scrub 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.
Soaking the parts, and why same-day matters
The racks come out and go into a soak, and that is what lets you cook the same evening.
- The soak is a professional oven degreaser, set up in your kitchen on most visits. It loosens the baked-on carbon on the racks, runners and panels while we get on with the cavity.
- For the cavity itself, the door glass and the interior, we hand-clean on site.
- The parts come back rinsed and dried before we put them back.
- We wipe the cavity and the worktop down before we leave.
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, and any smell from the products goes once the back window has been open for an hour.
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 open the door up where the design allows and clean the glass from the inside.
What the clean covers
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, soaked, scrubbed and dried.
- 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.
- Soak
- Soaking the removable parts in a professional degreaser, usually right there in your kitchen, so the carbon loosens while the cavity is cleaned by hand.
Working around Barking and Dagenham
Most of our local work is on the Becontree estate. Newer flats are a different job.
- Becontree
- 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. The cottage kitchens tend to be narrow, with the cooker tucked in a corner and a single gas oven rather than a big range.
- Barking Riverside
- 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
- 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. Lugging kit and dust sheets two streets over wastes your time and ours.
- Near Barking station
- If you are off Station Parade, we can usually reach you quickest of all.
The ovens in them have seen a lot of Sunday dinners since.
We clean the whole borough:
- Dagenham
- Chadwell Heath
- Marks Gate
- Rush Green
- Castle Green
- Thames View and the riverside
- everything in the IG11 core around the town centre
If you are not sure we reach your road, ask. We almost certainly do.
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. 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.
- Landlords turning a property around between lets. In this borough that 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, run out of 75 Shakespeare Avenue, Feltham, TW14 9HU. Our Google rating is 4.7 out of 5.

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 £143 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. The racks and parts are rinsed and dried before they go back in, and we wipe the cavity down before we leave. You can switch the oven on and cook the same evening. There is no overnight wait; crack a window and any product smell fades within the hour.
What does a single oven clean actually include?
We do the whole oven. Door glass, including between the panels where the door design allows and 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 £143 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 cleaning harm my enamel or self-clean liners?
No. We work the baked-on carbon off the enamel by hand and keep scouring pads well away from it. 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 there are more parts to soak and they need to be dry before they go back in. 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, and leave the water and power on. That is all. We bring the dust sheets and everything else.
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.
Do you offer a re-clean guarantee?
Not on oven cleaning. Our 48-hour re-clean guarantee is for end of tenancy cleans only. If anything about your oven clean concerns you, ring us on 0333 555 2076.
How do I book an oven clean in Barking and Dagenham?
Call 0333 555 2076 or email office@monstercleaning.com 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.
