Last Sunday’s roast is still welded to your oven door, and you have tried three sprays already. We can fix that. Monster Cleaning runs oven cleaning across Brentwood and the wider CM14 and CM15 postcodes, from the terraces south of the High Street to the newer flats near the station.
Last updated April 2026. Prices and local details checked for Brentwood and the surrounding CM14 / CM15 area.
Oven cleaning in Brentwood starts at £77 for a single oven, with same-day use and a non-caustic dip-tank brought to your door.
That is the short answer. The rest of this page is the detail: what we charge for a range cooker or an AGA, how the dip-tank actually works, why hard water around Brentwood leaves a film on the glass, and what happens when you book.
What it costs in Brentwood
Here are the prices, flat, with no add-on surprises at the door. A single oven is £77. A double oven is £110. A range cooker up to 90cm wide is £114, and a two-oven AGA is £143. If you want the hob done at the same time it is £23 to £28 depending on whether it is gas, ceramic or induction, an extractor hood is £28, and a microwave is £22.
Those are the real numbers. We quote the oven type, not a vague “from” figure that doubles once we arrive.
Most homes around Brentwood South ward have a single fan oven, so £77 is the figure most callers end up paying. The larger Victorian villas off Ingrave Road and Shenfield Road tend to have a range cooker or a double in the kitchen extension, which is where the £114 and £143 jobs come from. If you are not sure what you have got, send us a photo when you call and we will tell you the price before we set off.
How the dip-tank works
The dip-tank is the bit that makes a real difference. When the cleaner arrives, the first job is to take the oven apart: out come the shelves, the side runners, the trays, the fan cover and the inner door glass where the model allows it. All of that goes into a heated tank in the van, filled with a non-caustic solution that softens baked-on grease and carbon over twenty minutes or so while the cleaner works on the cavity.
Non-caustic matters for two reasons. It does not fill your kitchen with the eye-watering fumes a strong caustic gel gives off, and it is gentler on the enamel and the printed dials than the aggressive stuff sold in tins. You can stand in the room while we work. So can the dog.
The cavity itself we do by hand. Walls, roof, floor, the rubber door seal, the fan blades behind the back plate. The glass gets worked from both sides until you can read the temperature dial through it again. Then everything that went in the tank comes back rinsed, dried and reassembled, and we wipe down the front and the controls.
It takes between ninety minutes and a little over two hours for a typical Brentwood kitchen, longer for a neglected range or a twin-cavity AGA. We bring our own water and power for the tank, so we are not draining your hot tap or tripping your sockets.
People often ask about self-cleaning ovens. If yours has a pyrolytic cycle, you can still book us, and most do because the cycle bakes spills to ash but leaves the door glass, the racks and the seal untouched. We clean the parts the cycle misses, by hand, and you keep the function for the in-between months.
One more thing we get asked. We do not use wire wool on enamel or on the glass, because it scratches, and a scratched oven door only collects grease faster next time. The tank and the right pads do the work instead.

Hard water and the glass door
Brentwood sits on very hard water. The CM14 supply runs at roughly 389 parts per million of calcium carbonate, well above the national average, and it comes through Essex & Suffolk Water. You will know it already from the kettle.
What that does to an oven is twofold. Steam from roasting carries minerals that bake onto the inside of the door glass as a cloudy film, and any wiping you do with tap water dries to a fresh haze. It is why your door never quite looks clean even after you have scrubbed it. We finish the glass with a process that deals with the mineral film as well as the grease, so it actually stays clear rather than fogging up again the first time you use it.
Same goes for the racks. Hard-water scale and old grease together form that grey crust on the bars, and the heated soak shifts both at once.
What we clean besides the oven
Plenty of people book the oven and add the rest of the cooker while we are there. The hob is £23 to £28, and an induction surface usually sits at the lower end because the glass comes up quickly once the burnt-on rings are softened. Gas hobs take a touch longer because the pan supports and burner caps lift out and get soaked.
An extractor hood is £28. That covers the metal grease filters, which we soak, and the canopy, which collects a surprising amount of sticky residue above a well-used hob. A microwave is £22, inside and out, turntable included.
If you want the oven, hob and extractor done together, say so when you book and we will give you the combined price up front. We would rather you knew the total than found out at the end.
We also clean ovens as part of a wider move-out. If you are leaving a rental, our end of tenancy cleaning in Brentwood covers the whole property and the oven is built into that price rather than charged on top.
Who we are
Monster Cleaning Ltd has traded since 2014, registered at Companies House under number 9919639. The office is at 255 Upper Richmond Road West, SW14 8QS, and our cleaners cover Brentwood out from there along the A12 and the Elizabeth line.
We are honest about our reviews. Our Trustpilot score sits at 3.1 out of 5 across 128 reviews, which is not a perfect five, and we would rather tell you that than hide it. Most of the lower scores are about scheduling on the busy domestic side; the oven work itself is where we get our steadiest praise, because the result is easy to see and easy to judge.
If you are not happy with the oven when we finish, we re-clean it. That is the guarantee, plainly put: we come back and put it right at no extra cost. An oven is either clean or it is not, and there is no arguing with a door you can see through.
It is a simple promise.

Booking an oven clean
Booking is quick. Call us on 0333 555 2076 or email [email protected] with your Brentwood postcode and the type of oven you have. We will give you the price on the spot and a slot, often within a few days.
Most Brentwood jobs are easy to reach. The terraces south of the High Street have on-street parking the cleaner can use, and the streets around Brentwood station are a short run off the A1023. If parking is permit-only on your road, tell us and we will sort it.
We work across the week, including Saturdays, which suits people fitting an oven clean around a move-out date or an end-of-month inventory check. If you have a date you are working towards, give it to us when you call and we will hold a slot before it.
On the day, clear the worktop nearest the oven so there is room to set the trays down, and make sure the oven is switched off and cold. That is all we ask. We bring everything else, including the tank, the water and the cloths.
Once the oven is done you can use it that evening. There is no curing time and no chemical smell to air out, which is the whole point of going non-caustic.
If you want the carpets or the wider house seen to as well, we cover carpet cleaning in Brentwood and regular domestic cleaning in Brentwood too, and you can read more about the service generally on our oven cleaning overview.
Frequently asked questions
How much is oven cleaning in Brentwood?
A single oven is £77 and a double is £110. A range cooker up to 90cm is £114 and a two-oven AGA is £143. Add a hob for £23 to £28, an extractor for £28 or a microwave for £22. We confirm the price before we set off.
Can I use the oven the same day you clean it?
Yes. We use a non-caustic solution with no curing time and no lingering chemical smell, so you can cook in the oven the same evening we leave. That is the main reason we avoid harsh caustic products.
Do the fumes mean I have to leave the house?
No. Because the dip-tank uses a non-caustic solution rather than a strong caustic gel, there are no eye-watering fumes. You can stay in the kitchen while the cleaner works, and pets are fine too.
What is a dip-tank and where does it go?
It is a heated tank in our van that soaks your oven racks, trays, fan cover and inner glass in a non-caustic solution to lift baked-on grease. It stays in the van, so nothing messy happens in your kitchen. We bring our own water and power for it.
Do you clean AGAs and range cookers?
Yes. A two-oven AGA is £143 and a range cooker up to 90cm wide is £114. These take longer than a standard oven, especially a neglected AGA, so we book a wider slot for them.
Why does my oven door glass never look clean in Brentwood?
Brentwood has very hard water, around 389 parts per million in CM14, so wiping the glass with tap water dries to a mineral haze. We treat the mineral film as well as the grease, so the glass stays clear rather than fogging the next time you roast.
Can you do the hob and extractor at the same time?
Yes, and most people do. A hob is £23 to £28 depending on type and an extractor hood is £28 including the grease filters. Tell us when you book and we will give you the combined price up front.
Which parts of Brentwood do you cover?
We cover the whole town and the surrounding CM14 and CM15 postcodes, from the High Street and Brentwood South ward out to Shenfield Road, Ingrave Road and the streets near Brentwood station. If you are just outside, call and ask.
What if I am not happy with the result?
We re-clean it at no extra cost. An oven is either clean or it is not, so if anything is not right when we finish, we come back and put it right. That is our satisfaction guarantee.
Do I need to do anything before you arrive?
Just switch the oven off so it is cold and clear the worktop next to it so there is room to set the trays down. We bring the tank, the water, the power and all the cloths, so there is nothing else for you to buy or prepare.
