Most ovens we open in Maidenhead have not been touched properly since the family moved in. Carbon on the door glass, a grill pan welded shut, that faint smell of last Sunday’s roast every time the fan kicks in. We take the whole thing apart on your kitchen floor, dip the racks and the inner panels in a heated tank outside in the van, and hand it back the same afternoon. No fumes, no overnight wait.
Last updated April 2026. Prices below are what we actually charge in the SL6 postcode, not a starting-from teaser.
We clean ovens across Maidenhead and the SL6 villages, single ovens from £77, with a non-caustic dip-tank and a same-day re-clean guarantee.
What an oven clean costs in Maidenhead
Flat prices. A single oven is £77. A double oven, the four-door range most kitchens around here actually have, is £110. A 90cm range cooker is £114, and a two-oven AGA is £143 because it is a slower job and we treat the enamel differently.
Add-ons are priced the same whether you book them with an oven or on their own. A hob is £23 to £28 depending on whether it is a wipe-down ceramic top or a gas hob with cast trivets and burner caps that come apart. An extractor is £28. A microwave is £22.
That is the whole list. We do not load a call-out fee on top, and we do not quote one number on the phone and a bigger one at your door. If you read the price here, that is the price.
The dip-tank, and why we do not use caustic
The bit that does the heavy lifting is a heated tank in the van. We pull out the shelves, the side runners, the inner door glass and the removable panels, and they go in to soak while we hand-clean the cavity, the seals and the fan housing. The tank uses a non-caustic solution, not the harsh caustic soda dip that some firms still run.
Why does that matter to you? Two reasons. Caustic strips aluminium trim and dulls the enamel over time, and it leaves a smell that lingers. Our solution lifts baked-on carbon without eating the metal, so you can switch the oven on and cook your tea the same evening. No airing the kitchen for a day first.
Caustic strips aluminium trim and dulls the enamel over time, and it leaves a smell that lingers.
Self-clean liners are the one thing to flag. The rough catalytic panels in some ovens should never be scrubbed or dipped, so we leave those alone and clean around them. Tell us if you have them and we will not touch them. A quick check before we start saves a ruined panel and a cross customer.
Hobs, extractors, microwaves and ranges
Most people book the oven and then add the hob, because once the oven looks new the hob next to it looks worse than it did. Gas hobs take longer than ceramic ones. The burner caps, the crowns and the cast trivets all come off and go in to soak, then go back on clean and seated properly so the flame pattern is even again.
Extractors are the job people forget. The grease filters above a hob that gets daily use turn into a solid mat, and a clogged filter is a genuine fire risk as well as a smell. We degrease the metal mesh filters and wipe the canopy. Carbon filters in recirculating hoods get checked, but those are usually a replace-not-clean part. If yours is a ducted unit venting outside, we will tell you straight whether the filter is worth saving or past it.
Microwaves at £22 are the easy win. We take the turntable and roller ring out, clean the cavity and the door, and deal with the splatter on the inside roof that the quick wipe never reaches.
Ranges and AGAs need a word. A 90cm range cooker has two cavities, a wider grill and far more glass, which is why it is £114 rather than the £110 double price. An AGA is a different animal again. We work it cool, we are careful with the vitreous enamel and the chrome lids, and we charge £143 for the standard two-oven model. Around the larger period houses out toward Bray and Cookham, AGAs and big range cookers are common, so we see plenty.
Maidenhead kitchens, from Boyn Hill to the new flats
Maidenhead is two kinds of kitchen at the moment. There are the Victorian and Edwardian houses out in Boyn Hill, Cox Green and Furze Platt, where the kitchen has usually been extended at the back and fitted with a freestanding range or a big double oven. Then there is everything going up in the middle of town.
The Nicholson Quarter, where the old Nicholsons Centre is being knocked down from the summer of 2026, is set to bring up to 856 new homes around Sir Nicholas Winton Square, and the Chapel Arches and Waterside Quarter flats by the waterway have already added a few hundred more. New-build kitchens mean compact single ovens and induction hobs, which are quick for us and cheap for you. We clean a lot of both ends of that spread in the same week.
One local thing worth knowing. Maidenhead sits on chalk, and South East Water supplies some of the hardest water in the country here, so the glass on your oven door and the steel on a gas hob scale up fast. We take the limescale film off the door glass as part of the oven clean, which is why it ends up clearer than a wipe at home ever gets it. The same hardness is why steam-clean cycles on newer ovens never quite finish the job around here, and people end up ringing us anyway.
If you are moving rather than just maintaining, an oven clean is usually the last thing the inventory clerk checks and the first thing they fail you on. We can fold it into a wider end of tenancy cleaning in Maidenhead visit, or pair it with carpet cleaning in Maidenhead on the same trip so the van only blocks your road once.
Who we are, and the re-clean guarantee
We are Monster Cleaning Ltd, Companies House number 9919639, and we have been cleaning since 2014. Our office is at 255 Upper Richmond Road West, SW14 8QS, and we run a regular oven round out through Berkshire.
I will be straight about the reviews, because you will find them anyway. Our Trustpilot score is 3.1 out of 5 across 128 reviews. That is not a perfect number and I am not going to pretend it is. Most of the lower scores are about scheduling on the domestic side, not the oven work itself, and it is the reason we changed how we book and confirm. The oven cleans are where we are strongest, and the guarantee backs that.
Here is the guarantee. If you are not happy with the oven when we finish, tell the cleaner before they leave or ring the office the same day, and we come back and re-do it free. Same-day re-clean, no argument. We would rather sort it on the spot than collect a one-star later.
Booking, parking and what happens on the day
Ring 0333 555 2076 or email [email protected] with your postcode and what you want cleaning. We will give you a flat price and a two-hour arrival window, not a vague morning or afternoon.
We need a little thought on parking, because the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead runs the town-centre car parks and a lot of the central streets are restricted. If you are in a flat off the High Street or near the station, let us know and we will sort a bay or use a council car park; the van needs to be within a sensible carry of your door for the tank kit. Out in the residential roads it is rarely a problem.
On the day, clear the worktop next to the oven. That is all we ask. We lay down protection, take the oven apart, run the tank, rebuild it and test the door seal before we go. A single oven is usually ninety minutes or so; a range or an AGA is longer. You can read more on our oven cleaning service page, and if you want the kitchen and the rest of the house kept on top of, we also do domestic cleaning in Maidenhead.
Payment is on completion, once you have looked it over and you are happy. Card or bank transfer, your choice, and you get a proper VAT invoice by email rather than a scribbled receipt.
Then we are gone.
Frequently asked questions
How much is oven cleaning in Maidenhead?
A single oven is £77, a double oven is £110, a 90cm range cooker 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. These are flat prices for the SL6 area with no call-out fee.
Can I use the oven the same day you clean it?
Yes. We use a non-caustic dip-tank, so there is no harsh residue or lingering smell. You can switch the oven on and cook the same evening, with no overnight airing needed.
Do you use caustic chemicals?
No. Our heated dip-tank runs a non-caustic solution. It lifts baked-on carbon without stripping the aluminium trim or dulling the enamel, which is what caustic soda dips tend to do over time.
How long does an oven clean take?
A single oven is usually around ninety minutes. A double oven takes a little longer, and a range cooker or an AGA can run to a couple of hours because there are more cavities, more glass and more removable parts to soak and refit.
Do you clean AGAs and range cookers?
Yes. A 90cm range cooker is £114 and a standard two-oven AGA is £143. We work an AGA cool and take care with the vitreous enamel and chrome lids. These are common in the larger period houses out toward Bray and Cookham.
Can you clean the hob and extractor at the same time?
Yes, and most people do. A hob is £23 to £28 depending on whether it is ceramic or a gas hob with removable trivets and burner caps. An extractor is £28, including degreasing the metal mesh filters.
What about self-cleaning or catalytic liners?
We leave catalytic and self-clean liner panels alone, because scrubbing or dipping the rough surface ruins it. Tell us if your oven has them and we will clean the cavity and glass around them instead.
Do you cover the villages around Maidenhead?
Yes. We cover Maidenhead town and the surrounding SL6 areas including Cox Green, Furze Platt, Boyn Hill, Bray, Cookham and the riverside developments. If you are unsure whether your postcode is on the round, ring the office and ask.
Will hard water spots come off the oven door glass?
Mostly, yes. Maidenhead has very hard water from the chalk, supplied by South East Water, so oven door glass scales up. We take the limescale film off as part of the clean, which leaves the glass far clearer than a home wipe manages.
What if I am not happy with the result?
Tell the cleaner before they leave, or ring the office the same day, and we come back and re-do it free. That is our same-day re-clean guarantee, and it applies to every oven we clean.
How do I book and pay?
Ring 0333 555 2076 or email [email protected] with your postcode and what you need cleaning. We give you a flat price and a two-hour arrival window, and you pay once the work is done and you are happy with it.
