An oven doesn’t need daily cooking to end up filthy, and Canary Wharf proves it. Kitchens here are compact, integrated and mostly electric, used a few evenings a week, and the thin film each roast leaves behind bakes darker every time the oven heats. We get the grease off the metal and the glass clear at a fixed price: £77 for a single oven, £110 for a double.
Last updated July 2026. Prices and the areas we cover are checked each season, so what you read here is what you pay.
A built-in single oven is £77 and a double is £110. A 90cm range cooker is £143, an AGA £143, hobs are £23 to £28, extractor hoods £28 and microwaves £22.
What oven cleaning costs in Canary Wharf
Every item has its own fixed price, and the figure you get when you book is the finished price.
- Single built-in oven
- £77. It is what most E14 kitchens have hiding behind a matching cabinet door.
- Double oven
- £110
- 90cm range cooker
- £143. Range cookers are scarce on the Island, because kitchens here rarely have the metre of space to give up, but if you’ve got one, that is the price.
- AGA
- £143
- Hob
- £23 to £28 depending on type
- Extractor hood
- £28
- Microwave
- £22
Each item is priced separately, so you pay for what the kitchen actually contains rather than a bundle invented to round the bill up. Tell us what’s in there when you book.
One thing we won’t do is quote low and discover problems on the day. The state of the oven is already priced in. A shocking one just takes us longer, and that’s our problem.
Wharf kitchens, small and electric
Most Wharf kitchens are small, open-plan and electric, and the older stock still runs on gas.
- The newer towers
- Most never had a gas main run up them, so from Wood Wharf to Marsh Wall it’s induction or ceramic hobs and a compact electric single, tucked under the worktop of a kitchen that shares its room with the sofa.
- Build-to-rent blocks
- The Vertus buildings among them fit matching integrated appliances floor after floor, which means the oven belongs to the landlord and its condition sits on the inventory.
- The older stock
- It plays by older rules. Cascades-era flats along Westferry Road and the Barkantine and Samuda estates still run gas hobs and freestanding cookers: a different kind of clean, with the price fixed before we arrive.
Open-plan grease
When the hob sits four metres from the cushions, everything you fry hangs around, and very few Wharf kitchens vent outside. The hood pushes air through a mesh filter and hands it back to the room. Once that filter loads up, grease starts settling on:
- worktops
- cabinet doors
- the inside of the very oven it was meant to protect
And these ovens genuinely are little used. Plenty of our E14 customers cook properly twice a week and live otherwise off the microwave. It doesn’t save the oven. A light film of grease with dust bonded into it is harder to shift than the honest mess of a family kitchen.

What we do to the oven
Everything that can come out comes out before we clean, and the removable parts soak while we work on the cavity.
- Where the model allows, the door lifts off its hinges and the glass separates.
- Racks, side rails, trays and the fan cover come out and go into a soak, so the grease lifts off in the soak instead of being chased around the oven with a cloth.
- Inside the cavity we use professional oven products. The cavity gets scraped and degreased, the fan cleaned and the glass polished.
- Everything goes back, then a short heat-up proves it all works and dries it out.
In a tower kitchen with a window that opens a hand’s width, we keep that window open while we work.
- Time
- Allow about an hour and a half for a single, a bit over two for a double or a range.
- In the building
- Floor sheeted, kit carried up the goods lift, signed in and out with the desk if your building runs one.
- Afterwards
- You can cook the same evening.

Hobs, extractors and microwaves
Each of these is priced on its own and done in the same visit as the oven.
- Hob
- £23 to £28 depending on size and state
- Extractor hood
- £28
- Microwave
- £22. It does more shifts than the oven in half the flats we visit. Steamed, degreased, done alongside the main job.
Induction and ceramic hobs
They come up well when they’re treated right, which mostly means a blade held flat to the glass rather than a scourer.
- Burnt-on rings from boil-overs lift cleanly.
- Deep pits from years of scraping stay pitted, and we’ll point those out rather than buff around them and hope.
- Hard water plays a part here too. E14 sits on Thames supply at somewhere around 280 to 300 on the hardness scale, so anywhere a pan boils over dries to a chalky ring. We descale hob glass and the surrounds as we go.
Extractor hoods
The mesh filters carry the whole load in a recirculating kitchen, so we degrease mesh and casing properly. If there’s a charcoal cartridge inside, we’ll tell you it needs replacing rather than pretend a cartridge cleans.

Oven work is a big slice of what our E14 crews do, because the housing here is dense with rented kitchens and every tenancy change means an oven someone has to answer for.
If the rest of the flat needs the same attention, we do these too:

Common questions
How much does oven cleaning cost in Canary Wharf?
£77 for a single built-in oven and £110 for a double. A 90cm range cooker is £143 and an AGA is £143. Hobs are £23 to £28 depending on type, extractor hoods £28 and microwaves £22. Each item is priced on its own, so the quote covers what your kitchen has and nothing it doesn’t.
How long does an oven clean take?
About an hour and a half for a single oven, closer to two and a half hours for a double or a range. Hobs, hoods and microwaves add minutes rather than hours. The mess stays contained: sheets down, parts in the soak, the kitchen wiped before we go.
Can I use the oven the same day?
Yes. We finish with a short heat-up that dries the oven out and proves everything works, and after that it’s yours. There’s no waiting until tomorrow to cook, and a window open for a while clears any cleaning smell.
Can you get burnt rings off an induction or ceramic hob?
Usually. Boiled-over sugar and starch come off with a blade held flat to the glass, which sounds brutal and is the method the manufacturers themselves recommend. Scourers are what wreck these hobs. If the glass is already pitted from years of scraping pans, it will be clean but the pits stay, and we’ll point them out.
My oven barely gets used. Is it worth cleaning?
The little-used ovens are often the worst ones we open. A thin film from occasional cooking bakes darker with each heat-up, dust bonds to it between uses, and eventually the first roast of the winter sets off the smoke alarm. A clean resets all of that, and in a furnished let the oven gets checked at check-out anyway.
Do you clean extractor hoods and filters?
Yes, £28. Most Wharf kitchens recirculate rather than vent outside, so the mesh filter does all the work and saturates with grease. We degrease the mesh and the casing. A charcoal cartridge inside a recirculating hood is a replacement part rather than a cleanable one, and we’ll say so if yours is spent.
Can you work through my building’s concierge?
Yes, and a good share of our E14 jobs run exactly that way. Book the clean, tell the desk we’re coming, and we sign in, collect the key, do the work and sign out. Landlords and agents can book for a flat they manage and we invoice them directly.
Does hard water leave marks on hobs?
It does. Thames water in E14 is hard, and anywhere a pan boils over or steam settles dries to a chalky ring a wet cloth won’t shift. We descale hob glass and the surrounds as part of the job. It’s cosmetic rather than mechanical, but on black glass it’s the first thing your eye finds.
