Oven cleaning prices in Brixton
The full list, so you can budget from your phone.
- Single oven
- £77
- Double
- £110
- 90cm range cooker
- £143
- AGA
- £143. An AGA holds its heat for hours, so it needs switching off the night before we come. We remind you of this when you book, because forgetting it wastes everybody’s morning.
- Hob
- £23 to £28 depending on size and fuel. Most people add the hob; it sits right there and it catches the worst of the fat.
- Extractor hood
- £28
- Microwave
- £22
If you are pricing a whole kitchen, tell us what is in it and we will quote the lot in one figure: oven, hob, extractor and microwave together.
There are no call-out fees and nothing extra for a bad oven. A neglected one simply takes us longer, and that is our problem rather than yours.
Brixton kitchens and what they do to ovens
A lot of Brixton rents, and rental kitchens collect appliances the way sheds collect paint tins.
- Conversion flats off Railton Road and Josephine Avenue
- We meet whatever a landlord fitted between tenancies, often a freestanding cooker a decade past its best standing next to a brand-new fridge.
- Ex-council kitchens in Angell Town and on the Loughborough estate
- They tend to hold solid, older ovens that reward a long soak and patient hand work.
- The compact new flats near the station, at Brixton Centric and up at Higgs Yard by Loughborough Junction
- The other extreme: slim integrated singles and induction hobs where one burnt lasagne haunts the fan for weeks.
And Brixton cooks. The households we clean for keep pace with the market a few streets away, and high-heat cooking means airborne fat. It builds much faster in a kitchen that actually gets used:
- it settles on the extractor mesh
- it glues itself to the door glass
- it carbonises on the oven floor
As for how often, most household ovens want a proper clean once a year, twice if you roast most weekends.
The heavy weeks in our diary are late November and December, when everyone remembers the turkey has to fit in there somewhere. If you want a pre-Christmas slot it pays to ring in early autumn.
The door glass is where everyone finally notices.
How the clean works
The clean is mechanical, in the best sense.
- Racks, trays, side runners and, where the door comes apart, the inner glass are taken out and left in a hot soak, where the burnt fat lifts off in solution instead of under a scourer.
- The cavity is worked by hand with professional oven products, and we keep a window open where we can, which matters in a conversion kitchen whose only window opens onto a shared return.
- The glass gets scraped back with a blade, and the interior is degreased and wiped down to the enamel.
- The racks go back in, and everything is refitted and checked.
The burnt fat lifts off in solution instead of under a scourer.
A single oven takes roughly an hour and a half to two hours. Doubles, ranges and AGAs take longer. You can cook in it the same evening.
We also look at the bits nobody sees:
- Perished door seals get pointed out.
- Side runners go back so the shelves glide instead of grinding.
- The drip tray under the grill element is cleaned rather than flipped over and put back.
If something is broken we say so; appliance repair is not our trade, but hearing about a fault early tends to save money.
Being straight about limits: enamel that has sat black for years can be permanently marked under the grease. We get every oven clean; we cannot always get it back to showroom.
Hobs, extractors, microwaves, limescale
The extras are small jobs, each with its own fixed price.
- Hobs, £23 to £28
- Gas hobs get their burner crowns and trivets soaked and polished. Induction and ceramic glass gets the blade treatment, done carefully, because a scratch on black glass is forever.
- Extractors, £28
- The mesh filters usually hold more fat than the oven does.
- Microwaves, £22
- They take minutes, yet a spattered one undoes the look of an otherwise clean kitchen.
Limescale earns its own paragraph because south London water is properly hard, around 290 milligrams of chalk per litre from Thames Water. Anything in the kitchen that steams grows a white crust:
- the zone around the pans on a ceramic hob
- the roof of a microwave
- the spout of the kettle
We shift it with a descaler made for the job instead of scratching at it with a scourer.

Frequently asked questions
How much does oven cleaning cost in Brixton?
A single oven is £77, a double £110, a 90cm range cooker £143 and an AGA £143. Hobs are £23 to £28, extractor hoods £28 and microwaves £22. The price is fixed when you book, and a filthy oven costs the same as a mildly grubby one.
How long does an oven clean take?
About an hour and a half to two hours for a single oven, longer for doubles, range cookers and AGAs. The parts soak while we work on the interior, which is what keeps the time down.
Can I use the oven the same day?
Yes. The products we use rinse off, so once everything is wiped out and refitted you can cook that evening. The first heat-up sometimes gives off a faint clean-oven smell for a few minutes, which is normal.
Do you clean the hob and extractor as well?
Yes, and doing them together makes sense. Hobs are £23 to £28 depending on size and type, extractors £28 and microwaves £22. Extractor filters are usually the greasiest thing in the kitchen, and a clean oven under a dripping hood does not stay clean for long.
Can you clean an AGA or a range cooker?
Yes. A 90cm range is £143 and an AGA is £143. An AGA has to be switched off the night before so it is cool enough to work on, and we remind you of that when you book. Range racks and trivets get the same long soak as everything else.
Do you work with landlords and letting agents?
Constantly. An oven is the first thing a new tenant opens and one of the first things photographed at check-out, so we clean plenty of them between tenancies across SW9 and SW2. We can arrange access with the outgoing tenant and send the invoice wherever you like.
Will the brown staining come off the door glass?
Usually, yes. Baked-on fat on glass responds well to soaking and a careful blade. What sometimes stays is staining sealed inside a double-glazed door that does not come apart, and etching where grease burnt into the surface itself; we point either out before we start rather than surprise you after.
Why does my hob get a white film even after wiping?
That film is limescale, not soap. Water in this part of London is hard, and every splash that dries on hot glass leaves its minerals behind. Wiping just moves it about, while a proper descaler dissolves it. We deal with it as part of a hob clean and the film stays away far longer.
