The bay-fronted semis around Danson Park nearly all have a 1930s kitchen layout, and that means an oven sitting in a tiled recess where grease hides in the back corners. We clean ovens in those kitchens most weeks. This page tells you what we charge, what we actually do, and why we do not use caustic paste on a Bexleyheath cooker.
Last updated April 2026. Prices and method current for Bexley, DA6 and DA7.
Here is the short version. We clean ovens across Bexley from £77 for a single oven, using a heated non-caustic dip-tank so your cooker is safe to use the same day.
That is the answer most people want before they read on. The rest is detail: the full price list, the difference between a single and a double, what an AGA costs, and the bits people forget to ask about, like the extractor and the hob. Monster Cleaning Ltd has been doing this since 2014. We are a London firm, Companies House number 9919639, and our office is at 255 Upper Richmond Road West, SW14 8QS.
What oven cleaning costs in Bexley
Prices are flat and we tell you the figure before we arrive, so there is no surprise on the doorstep. What you pay depends on the cooker, not the postcode, and these are the same rates whether you are off Broadway in the middle of Bexleyheath or up one of the quieter roads near Bexley Village.
Here is the full list:
- Single oven: £77
- Double oven: £110
- Range cooker, 90cm: £114
- AGA, 2-oven: £143
- Hob, depending on type: £23 to £28
- Extractor hood: £28
- Microwave: £22
A single oven is one cavity and one door. A double is two, usually a main oven plus a smaller top oven or a combined grill. If you are not sure which you have, send us a photo when you book and we will price it properly rather than guess.
Range cookers are common in the bigger kitchen extensions people have added to the 1930s houses around here, the wide ones with a five-burner top. We price the 90cm range at £114. AGAs turn up less often in Bexley than they do further out into Kent, but when they do, a two-oven model is £143 because the enamel and the cast-iron lids take real time to bring back.
Add-ons are cheap to do at the same visit because the cleaner is already there with the kit out. A hob is £23 to £28 depending on whether it is gas, ceramic or induction. The extractor hood, grease filters and all, is £28. A microwave is £22. Done together with the oven, those small jobs save you booking a second appointment.
The dip-tank method, and why no caustic
The thing that actually shifts baked-on grease is heat plus a soak, not scrubbing. So the racks, the side runners, the trays and any removable inner door panels come out of your oven and go into a heated tank in the van. They sit in a non-caustic solution that lifts carbonised fat off the metal while the cleaner works on the cavity inside your kitchen by hand.
Non-caustic matters more than it sounds. The tinned oven pastes you buy are mostly caustic soda, which is brutal stuff. It burns skin, it gives off fumes in a closed kitchen, and on an aluminium tray it can leave a dull grey stain that never comes back to a shine. Our solution does not do that.

There is a second reason we like it for Bexley kitchens specifically. The water here is hard. Thames Water supplies this part of south-east London off the chalk, and hardness sits in the rough band of 250 to 350 milligrams of calcium carbonate per litre, which is hard by any measure. That scale builds up on oven door glass and on the inside of a kettle alike. The dip and the cavity treatment cut through the greasy film and the mineral haze together, which is why a door that looked permanently cloudy usually comes back clear.
No fumes. No caustic residue. And because nothing aggressive is left behind, the oven is safe to switch on and cook in as soon as we have finished and put it back together. You do not need to air it out overnight or run an empty cycle first.
One honest note on results. A very old enamel cavity that has been baked dark for fifteen years will come up clean but not brand new, because the enamel itself can be stained under the grease. We will tell you that on the day rather than promise a miracle. Most ovens, though, look years younger by the time we leave.
A typical Bexley clean, start to finish
A single oven takes most of a morning. Here is roughly how it goes when we turn up at a house in DA6 or DA7.
First we put down sheets, because oven cleaning is messy and nobody wants black grease on a kitchen floor. The cleaner pulls the racks, trays and runners and carries them out to the tank. While those soak, the inside of the oven gets done by hand: the back wall, the roof where the grill element sits, the fan housing, the seal around the door, and the inner glass which is where most of the brown haze lives.
The door usually comes apart. On a lot of cookers the inner glass panel slides out, and the gap between the two panes is exactly where grease and condensation collect into that foggy layer you cannot reach with a cloth. We clean both faces and put it back. By then the racks have soaked, so they get a final clean, a rinse and a dry, and everything goes back where it came from.
We test the oven works before we leave. Light, fan, elements, the lot.
The 1930s and interwar houses that fill the streets between Bexleyheath and Welling, the bay-fronted semis with the tiled porches, tend to have the oven built into a fitted run of units rather than free-standing. That can mean a tight squeeze either side, so we are careful pulling panels out and back without scraping your cupboards. It is the sort of thing a local cleaner who has done dozens of these kitchens just knows to watch for.

Parking is usually fine on the residential roads off Pickford Lane and around Danson Park, which makes carrying the tank kit in and out straightforward. Closer to the Broadway and the covered shopping centre it gets busier, so if you are right in the town centre, let us know about parking when you book and we will plan around it.
Hobs, extractors and the rest
The oven is the big job, but the grease does not stop at the oven door. The two things worth adding while we are there are the hob and the extractor.
A hob is £23 to £28. Gas hobs collect burnt-on spills around the burner crowns and under the cast-iron pan supports. Ceramic and induction tops are flatter but get a film of caramelised splatter that needs a proper cream and a scraper, not a wipe. The price depends on which you have and how baked-on it is.
The extractor hood is £28 and it is the one people forget. The metal grease filters above the hob soak up vaporised cooking fat for years, and a clogged filter both smells and stops pulling air. We take the filters out, dip them, and wipe down the canopy. After a long stretch of frying it makes a real difference to how the kitchen smells.
A microwave is £22. If yours has a turntable crusted with splatter and a roof you have given up on, it cleans up at the same visit for not much.
Plenty of Bexley customers book the oven on its own and that is completely fine. But if the whole cooking area has been bothering you, doing the oven, hob and extractor in one go is the sensible way, and you only pay one call-out of the cleaner’s time.
Booking, access and the re-clean guarantee
Booking is a phone call or an email. Ring 0333 555 2076 or email [email protected], tell us the cooker and roughly where you are in Bexley, and we will give you a price and a slot. A photo of the oven helps us quote a double or a range correctly.
On the day we need access to the kitchen, a working power supply, and a tap. That is it. You do not have to be in the whole time once we have started, though most people potter about. We bring everything else, including the tank.
The guarantee is simple. If you look at the oven after we have gone and you are not happy with it, tell us and we will come back and put it right. We would rather sort it than have you stew on it. That re-clean promise is the same across every job we do.
A word on what our reviews say, honestly. Our Trustpilot score sits at 3.1 out of 5 across 128 reviews. That is not a perfect five and we are not going to pretend it is. It reflects a real company that has done a lot of jobs over more than a decade, got most of them right, and occasionally had to go back and fix one. The re-clean guarantee exists for exactly those times.
If you are moving out rather than just keeping on top of things, a sparkling oven is one of the items landlords and agents check first, so it is worth pairing oven cleaning with a full end of tenancy cleaning in Bexley visit. We also do carpet cleaning in Bexley and regular domestic cleaning in Bexley if you want the rest of the home seen to at the same time. For the technical detail on how the dip-tank works on any cooker, there is more on our oven cleaning service page.
We cover the whole borough. Bexleyheath, Welling, Bexley Village, Barnehurst, Crayford, Sidcup and the streets in between. Wherever your kitchen is in DA6 or DA7, the oven gets the same treatment and the same price.
Frequently asked questions
How much is oven cleaning in Bexley?
A single oven is £77 and a double is £110. A 90cm range cooker is £114 and a two-oven AGA is £143. Add-ons are a hob at £23 to £28, an extractor at £28, and a microwave at £22. The price depends on the appliance, not your address in Bexley.
Can I use the oven the same day you clean it?
Yes. We use a non-caustic solution, so there is nothing harsh left behind that needs to burn off. Once we have reassembled the oven and tested it, you can cook in it straight away. There is no need to run an empty cycle or air the kitchen out first.
Why do you not use caustic oven cleaner?
Caustic soda burns skin, gives off fumes in a closed kitchen, and can leave a dull grey stain on aluminium trays. Our heated dip-tank lifts baked-on grease with heat and a non-caustic soak instead, which is safer for your home and kinder to the metal.
What is the dip-tank and where does it happen?
The dip-tank is a heated bath in our van. The racks, trays, side runners and removable door panels go into it to soak while the cleaner does the inside of the oven by hand in your kitchen. Nothing messy or smelly is left in the house.
Do you clean the oven door glass?
Yes, both panes. On most cookers the inner glass slides out, and the gap between the two panes is where the brown haze builds up. We split the door, clean both faces, and refit it. That is usually what brings a cloudy-looking door back to clear.
Do you cover all of Bexley?
We cover the whole borough, including Bexleyheath, Welling, Bexley Village, Barnehurst, Crayford and Sidcup, across DA6 and DA7. The price is the same wherever your kitchen is. If parking near the Broadway is tight, just tell us when you book.
Can you clean the hob and extractor at the same time?
Yes, and it is cheaper to do them together because the cleaner is already there. A hob is £23 to £28 depending on type, the extractor hood with its grease filters is £28, and a microwave is £22. Booking them with the oven saves a second visit.
Will an old oven come up like new?
Most do. A very old enamel cavity that has been baked dark for years will come up clean, but the enamel underneath can be stained, so it may not look factory-fresh. We will tell you honestly on the day. The large majority of ovens look years younger by the time we finish.
How long does it take?
A single oven takes most of a morning. A double, a range or an AGA takes longer because there is more metal to soak and more cavity to clean by hand. We will give you a rough time when we book so you can plan your day around it.
What is your guarantee if I am not happy?
If you look at the oven after we leave and you are not satisfied, tell us and we will come back and put it right at no extra cost. Our Trustpilot sits at 3.1 out of 5 over 128 reviews, and that re-clean promise is how we deal with the jobs that need a second look.
