Nobody in Clapham argues when we say the oven is the dirtiest thing in the kitchen. It is the one job a weekly wipe-round never touches, and rental kitchens change hands with the grease included. We take the parts out and soak them, scrub the cavity by hand in your kitchen, and hand it back clean enough to cook in that evening.
Last updated July 2026. Prices and the areas we cover are checked each season, so what you read here is what you pay.
A single oven in Clapham is £77 with us, a double £110, a 90cm range cooker £143 and an AGA £143. Hobs, extractor hoods and microwaves cost a little extra while we are already at the cooker.

Everything that unclips comes out and soaks, and the cavity is cleaned by hand.
- Racks, trays, side runners, the fan cover and, where the door design allows, the inner glass come out.
- Those parts soak in a hot degreaser, which does in an hour what oven spray pretends to do overnight.
- While they soak, the technician goes at the cavity by hand with professional oven products, lifting burnt carbon off the roof, the walls and the fan housing.
- It is all rinsed and refitted. There is no waiting period: you can cook that evening, and a window open for a while clears any cleaning smell.
On doors that come apart, the brown fog trapped between the panes goes for good, because the inner glass actually comes out rather than being wiped around.

What we cannot promise is miracles on damage, and we tell you which is which the moment we see it:
- Enamel that has baked brown over years can be permanently discoloured underneath the grease.
- Wire racks usually come back silver.
- A tray that has doubled as a roasting pan for a decade may stay pitted.

Clapham kitchens, from flatshare singles to Abbeville ranges
Clapham cooks on a strange mix of machines.
- Flatshares off the High Street and around Clapham North
- Mostly one slot-in single oven feeding four or five adults. Since no house rota on earth includes degreasing the fan housing, that oven is usually the hardest-worked and worst-loved appliance in SW4. Ninety minutes and £77 resets it.
- Converted terraces
- Plenty of SW4 kitchens sit in what used to be a back bedroom or half a parlour, with a 60cm built-in and an extractor doing overtime in a room never designed for cooking, which is why the extractor add-on earns its £28.
- The Abbeville village streets
- On Hambalt, Narbonne and Shandon, the family houses run range cookers hard through Sunday roasts and half-term baking.
- The Old Town
- In the Georgian houses near the Polygon, we still meet the occasional AGA.
- Mansion blocks facing the Common
- The 1930s ones, along Northside included, hide older built-in singles in galley kitchens so tight that protecting the worktops is half the technician’s morning.
One more Clapham detail: the water
Supply here is hard, roughly 270 to 300 ppm on Thames Water’s numbers, so hobs grow a white crust around the pan supports and glass tops get cloudy rings. Scale needs a different chemistry from grease. We carry both.
Rented kitchens and check-out day
A large slice of Clapham rents, and the oven is the first thing an inventory clerk opens at check-out.
It is the classic deposit deduction because it is the job everyone leaves until the final morning and then loses to a can of supermarket spray and a bin bag of regret. Agents argue about the oven precisely because it is easy to photograph and easy to price, so it pays to take that argument off the table early.
- Tenants
- A receipted professional clean, dated a day or two before the inspection, closes that conversation before it starts.
- Landlords
- They use us the other way round too, getting the oven right between tenancies so the new inventory starts from clean.
- The whole flat
- If the move-out involves the whole flat rather than only the kitchen, the end of tenancy cleaning in Clapham service deals with all of it in one visit.
Time, mess and parking on the day
Most visits are done well inside two hours, and you do not need to hover.
- The oven needs to be cool when the technician arrives, so no bacon at breakfast on cleaning day.
- An AGA has to come off the day before.
- The water and power do need to be on.
We bring our own kit, so nobody is borrowing your washing-up liquid. Sheets go down in front of the cooker, the soaking parts sit in one tidy spot, and the kitchen is left dry and usable, not swimming.
Parking is ours to arrange. Much of Clapham sits inside Lambeth controlled parking zones enforced through the working week and Saturdays, and the van has to be near your door because the kit is heavy and comes in and out more than once.
Where we need a bay, we arrange it and add only what it costs, shown in your quote.
How to book
Call 0333 555 2076 and tell us what the cooker is: single, double, range or AGA, plus any hob, hood or microwave you want adding. The quote takes about two minutes because the prices are flat rates.
Or email office@monstercleaning.com with a photo of the appliance if you are not sure what to call it, and we will name it for you.

Frequently asked questions
How much does oven cleaning cost in Clapham?
A single oven is £77, a double £110, a 90cm range cooker £143 and an AGA £143. A hob is £23 to £28 depending on whether we are already there for the oven, an extractor hood is £28 with an oven clean, and a microwave £22 alongside. Flat rates, agreed before we arrive.
How long does an oven clean take?
Around 75 to 90 minutes for a single oven and up to two hours for a double. A 90cm range runs two to two and a half hours, and an AGA is the long job at three to five hours. The parts soak while we work on the cavity, so the time in your kitchen is hands-on work rather than waiting.
Can I use the oven straight after the clean?
Yes, the same evening. Everything is rinsed, wiped down and dried before the parts go back in, so there is nothing left to burn off. If the flat smells of cleaning for a while, open a window.
Do you clean between the glass panels in the door?
Where the door design allows it, yes. Where the glass comes out, it soaks with the racks, so the drips and brown haze trapped between the panes go for good instead of getting smeared about. It is usually the difference people notice first.
Can you do the hob and extractor at the same visit?
That is the cheapest way to do it. A hob adds £23 to an oven clean, an extractor hood £28 and a microwave £22. Burnt grease and cooking film come off gas burners and glass tops alike, and if an extractor filter is past saving we say so, so you can order a new one.
Do you clean AGAs and range cookers?
We do. A 90cm range cooker is £143 and an AGA is £143. The AGA needs switching off the day before so it is cold enough to work on, and the clean itself takes three to five hours. Range shelves and pan supports soak in just the same way.
How often should an oven be professionally cleaned?
Once a year suits most households. A flatshare kitchen feeding four or five people, or a family range doing a roast every Sunday, earns a clean every six months or so. If the smoke alarm has started joining you for dinner, the oven is overdue.
Is it worth cleaning the oven before moving out of a rental?
Almost always. The oven is the first thing most inventory clerks photograph, and a dated receipt for a professional clean is cheap insurance against a deposit deduction. Book it for a day or two before check-out, and try not to cook a farewell roast in between.
