Your oven door has gone that amber-brown colour and the grill pan is past scrubbing. We can fix that this week.
Last updated April 2026. Prices and service details below are current for Lewisham and the surrounding SE postcodes.
Monster Cleaning does oven cleaning in Lewisham from £77, soaking the parts and cleaning the cavity by hand so you can cook in it the same day.
What it costs in Lewisham
These are fixed prices for Lewisham, not an estimate that creeps up once we are stood in your kitchen.
- Single oven
- £77
- Double oven
- £110
- Range cooker up to 90cm wide
- £143
- Two-oven AGA
- £143
Most kitchens want more than the oven, so the add-ons are priced to bolt straight on. You can mix and match them with any oven above:
- a hob, £23 to £28 depending on whether it is gas, ceramic or induction
- an extractor hood with its filters, £28
- a microwave, inside and out, £22
No call-out fee. No charge for travel inside the borough, and parking only at cost where it is needed. The price you are quoted on the phone is the price you pay, and we tell you the figure before we book, not after we finish.
Soaking the parts, and why same-day matters
The bit people care about most is whether they can use the oven that night. With us, you can.
- The racks, side runners, fan guard and any removable trays come out and soak separately, normally in your kitchen.
- The cavity is cleaned by hand with professional products.
- We wipe the cavity down properly once it is scrubbed. That smell is worth taking seriously: product left behind in a hot cavity is the reason some ovens taste odd for a week after a clean.
- The soaked parts are rinsed and dried before they go back in.
A window open for a while deals with any smell. So the honest answer to the question we get asked most: cook in it tonight.
The racks, side runners, fan guard and any removable trays come out and soak separately, normally in your kitchen.
One caveat we will always be straight about. If your oven is pyrolytic, the self-cleaning kind with a special coating inside, we do not soak those liners, because abrasion can damage the coating. We hand-clean the cavity instead, and the removable parts still soak as normal.
Lewisham kitchens and why the grease bakes on
If you live around Hither Green or Ladywell, you probably know the kitchen we mean: a long Victorian or Edwardian terrace, knocked into flats at some point, with the cooker wedged into a narrow galley at the back where the old scullery used to be.
- The room
- Cooking in a small, enclosed room means the oven runs hot and the splatter has nowhere to go, so it bakes onto the door glass and the back wall faster than it would in a big open-plan kitchen.
- The water
- South London sits on chalk, and Thames Water rates the supply here as very hard, roughly 296 parts per million of dissolved minerals. That hardness is why your kettle furs up, and also why oven trays and grill pans build a grey scale that ordinary spray will not shift.
- The crust
- Heat bonds that scale to the baked-on grease, and you get the dark crust that a sponge just polishes rather than removes.
The newer flats
We see the same pattern in the new-builds too. Lewisham town centre is in the middle of a long regeneration, with the council putting £24m into the high street and library and a 1,700-home scheme building out from the station from 2026 onward.
Those new-build kitchens are smaller and better sealed, which looks easy, but the compact ovens in them concentrate heat and grease in a tiny cavity. Different building, same baked-on problem.
None of that is a problem for a long soak. Hard-water scale and carbon both come off given enough time in hot water and degreaser, which is exactly why we take the parts out rather than scrubbing them in place.

We cover the whole borough, well beyond the few streets by the shopping centre on Molesworth Street:
- the SE13 streets around the town centre
- Hither Green and Lee in SE12
- Catford and Bellingham in SE6
- Brockley and Crofton Park in SE4
- the Forest Hill and Sydenham end in SE23
- St Johns, nearer the river by the Elverson Road DLR, which counts too
Parking
Parking is the one local thing that shapes how we work. A lot of Lewisham streets are controlled-parking zones, and the terraces around Ladywell and Hither Green can be tight on a weekday.
Give us a permit code or a bay where the road needs one, and we will plan the slot around it. If your place is an easy walk from the bus stop or the DLR, even better, because we can carry the kit in without circling for twenty minutes.
Most of what we clean here is domestic:
- family ovens
- the odd landlord turnaround
- a steady run of move-out jobs booked alongside our end of tenancy cleaning in Lewisham
We do small commercial kitchens too, the cafe-sized ones, but the bread and butter is the terraced-house oven that has not had a proper clean in three Christmases.
What a visit actually looks like
We turn up in the window we agreed, and a single oven is normally done in 75 to 90 minutes.
- Double or range
- Closer to two hours.
- AGA
- Can be a half-day job, because there is simply more cast iron to work through.
- We lay down protective sheets so nothing drips on your floor, and set our kit out in a spot you are happy with.
- The removable parts come out first and go straight in to soak while we work on the fixed cavity. That soak time is doing the heavy lifting, so the parts are usually the easiest bit by the end.
- We clean the door glass, between the panes where the door design allows, the seals, the racks, the trays, and the hob and extractor if you have added those.
- Everything is rinsed, dried and put back, and we show you the finished oven before we pack up.

How to book
Booking takes three steps
- Your postcode and the property. The form gives the price.
- A date that suits you. Seven days a week.
- We confirm it with you by phone or WhatsApp.
0333 555 2076 · 8am to 7pm
Booking is quick. Ring 0333 555 2076 or email office@monstercleaning.com and tell us your SE postcode and what you have:
- a single, a double, a range cooker or an AGA
- any hob, extractor or microwave you want added
We give you the fixed price there and then, and book you a slot, usually the same week and often within a couple of days. You do not need to be a cleaning expert to get ready:
- Empty the oven.
- Free up a parking space if your road needs one.
- Leave the water and power on, and leave the rest to us.
We arrive with the tools and the products, and we leave you an oven you can use the same evening.
While we are in your kitchen, plenty of Lewisham customers ask us to look at the rest of the place. If that is you, our domestic cleaning in Lewisham team handles the regular and one-off house cleans, and for carpets and rugs there is a separate carpet cleaning in Lewisham service.
Mention it when you book the oven and we will line it up.
Frequently asked questions
How much does oven cleaning in Lewisham cost?
A single oven is £77, a double £110, and a 90cm range cooker £143. A two-oven AGA is £143. Add a hob for £23 to £28, an extractor for £28, or a microwave for £22. No call-out fee on top.
Can I use the oven the same day you clean it?
Yes. The racks and parts are soaked and rinsed, and the cavity is wiped down by hand, so nothing is left to bake on. Once it is wiped down and the parts go back in, you can cook that evening.
Do you cover all of Lewisham, or just the town centre?
All of it. We clean ovens from the SE13 streets around the Lewisham Shopping Centre out to Hither Green, Ladywell, Lee, Blackheath, Catford and the Forest Hill edge. If your postcode starts SE13, SE12, SE6, SE4 or SE23, you are in our patch.
Can you clean a self-cleaning or pyrolytic oven?
Yes, and the removable parts soak as normal. We never soak pyrolytic liners, because the special coating inside those cavities can be damaged by abrasion. We hand-clean the cavity instead and tell you straight if a liner is the self-cleaning type.
How long does an oven clean take?
A single oven is usually 75 to 90 minutes. A double or a range cooker runs closer to two hours. An AGA can take half a day. Lewisham parking is the only thing that ever adds time, so we factor that in when we book you.
Why is the grease in Lewisham ovens often so baked on?
Two reasons. A lot of the kitchens here are in converted Victorian and Edwardian terraces with small galley layouts, so the oven runs hot in a tight space. And south London tap water is very hard, around 296 parts per million, so kettles and trays scale up and the carbon bonds harder.
Do you clean the extractor hood and filters too?
We do. The extractor is £28 and that covers the hood and the metal grease filters. In a small terraced kitchen the filters clog fast because the cooking happens in a confined room, so it is worth doing at the same time as the oven.
What do I need to do before you arrive?
Almost nothing. Clear anything stored inside the oven and give us a parking spot or a permit code if your road needs one. Switch the oven off a couple of hours before if it has been on. We bring all the kit and the products.
Do the water and power need to be on?
We need the water on for the soak and the rinse, and a normal plug socket for the equipment, so a working kitchen tap and socket are all we ask. If either is off because you are mid-move, get it reconnected before the clean.
Can you clean an oven as part of an end of tenancy?
Yes, and most of our Lewisham move-out ovens get booked that way. If you want the whole flat done, our end of tenancy service folds the oven in with the kitchen, bathroom and the rest of the deposit-critical work.
Are you insured, and is there a guarantee?
We are Monster Cleaning Ltd, trading since 2014, and we carry public liability insurance. Our 48-hour re-clean guarantee covers end of tenancy cleans only, not oven cleaning; if a tray or a door panel concerns you, ring 0333 555 2076.
How do I book an oven clean in Lewisham?
Call 0333 555 2076 or email office@monstercleaning.com with your SE postcode and what you have, a single, a double, a range or an AGA. We will give you a fixed price on the spot and a same-week slot where we can. Most Lewisham jobs we can fit within a few days.
