A Notting Hill kitchen is either a proper range cooker in a family house off the garden squares, or a compact rental oven wedged into a flat above a Portobello Road shop. We clean both by hand, racks soaked and cavity scrubbed, at a fixed price you know before we lift a tray.
Last updated July 2026. Prices and the areas we cover are checked each season, so what you read here is what you pay.
We clean ovens across Notting Hill by hand, racks and trays soaked, single ovens from £77 and a 90cm range cooker £143, fixed price, nothing sprung on you afterwards.
What oven cleaning costs in Notting Hill
Plain numbers for every appliance, and what we quote is what the invoice says.
- Single oven
- £77
- Double oven
- £110
- 90cm range cooker
- £143, the wide sort you see in a lot of Notting Hill family kitchens
- Cast-iron range of the AGA kind
- £143, because it is a full day’s careful work and the enamel will not forgive a rushed job
- Separate hob
- £23 to £28, depending on whether it is gas, ceramic or induction
- Extractor hood
- £28
- Microwave
- £22
Most people book the oven and add the hob and the extractor while we are there, since the three sit together and the grease from one lands on the others. We will give you the combined figure up front so there is no adding up on the doorstep.
No discounts, because the price is already the honest one. A single oven is £77 here.
How we actually clean an oven
Everything that lifts out comes out, and the cavity is cleaned by hand.
- The shelves, the runners, the side racks and the fan cover go into a soak, with the inner glass panel of the door too where the design allows. The solution loosens baked-on carbon before any scraping.
- While those soak, we hand-clean the cavity, the door seal and the roof of the oven, the bit that drips brown when nobody has touched it in a while.
- It all goes back together, and the glass gets polished.
- We run the oven for a moment to check it heats.
Soaking the parts matters in a flat. The heaviest grease comes off the racks in their soak, and the cavity gets worked by hand.
In a converted villa where the kitchen opens onto the living space, or a small rental where there is nowhere for a smell to go, we keep a window open while we work and wipe everything down before we leave.
The racks soak until the baked-on carbon loosens, and the cavity is cleaned by hand.
We are honest about the limits:
- A cracked glass panel in the door or a heating element that has already gone will not be fixed by cleaning.
- A decade of burnt-on carbon that has bonded to old enamel may not come back to showroom shine.
We will tell you what a clean will realistically achieve before we start, not after you have paid.
Range cookers and compact rental ovens
Notting Hill kitchens split roughly two ways, and the oven job splits with them.
- The family houses
- The tall stucco villas and the ones backing onto the communal garden squares tend to have a proper range at the centre of the kitchen: a wide 90cm gas or dual-fuel cooker, or a cast-iron AGA that is as much furniture as appliance.
- The flats
- Plenty of them are lets above the shops on Portobello Road and Westbourne Grove, or in a converted upper floor. Here the oven is usually a single built-in unit in a compact kitchen, often a tenant’s oven that has to come up clean for an inspection.
- Toward the north end
- Around the postwar blocks near Ladbroke Grove, kitchens are often more standard and the ovens more uniform, which usually makes for a straightforward single-oven clean.
The ranges are a bigger job. More cavity, more shelves, heavy doors, and enamel or cast iron that has to be treated with respect rather than force. An AGA in particular is a full day, and we price and plan it as one.
In the flats it is a small kitchen, tight space and nowhere to put the shelves down, which is why the shelves go straight into their soak rather than across a worktop the size of a chopping board.
Wherever you are, we quote off what is actually in the kitchen, not a guess made down the phone.

Notting Hill is on hard water, roughly 280 parts per million in the Thames Water supply, and that shows up around the cooker as much as anywhere:
- The splashback behind a hob picks up a chalky film.
- The drip tray under a gas burner scales where boil-overs dry out.
- A kettle nearby furs up fast.
- The hob
- We take the burners, caps and pan supports off and clean them properly rather than wiping round them, and on a ceramic or induction top we lift the burnt rings without scratching the glass.
- The extractor
- The bit most people forget until it stops pulling. Grease builds on the metal mesh filters and, on a recirculating hood, the carbon filter clogs and the fan just pushes warm greasy air back at you. We degrease the filters, wipe down the housing and the underside, and tell you if a carbon filter has simply had it and wants replacing, which is a part you buy rather than something a clean can revive.
- A microwave
- If you want it done, it comes up quickly: inside, the roof, the turntable and the door, for £22 while we are already there with the kit out.
The extractor is the bit most people forget until it stops pulling and just pushes warm greasy air back at you.
How the day goes
We turn up on time with the tools and the products, and we keep the worktop we use protected while we work.
You do not need to do anything to the oven beforehand. In fact please do not spray it with a supermarket cleaner the night before, because that just adds a layer for us to strip off first. An oven you have left completely alone is easier for us than one somebody has half-attacked.
- Parking
- It needs a plan here, as it does anywhere in the borough. Kensington and Chelsea is a run of controlled parking zones and a resident permit never guarantees a space, so we sort the meter or the bay ourselves and add just what it costs, shown in your quote.
- Carnival weekend
- One local note: over the August bank holiday the Carnival closes streets across the area, and a van cannot reach some addresses inside the route. If that is you, we will simply book you before or after the weekend.
How long it takes:
- a single oven, usually around an hour and a half
- a double or a range, longer
- an AGA, a day
We clean up after ourselves, take the dirty solution away with us, and leave the kitchen as we found it bar a much cleaner cooker.

Frequently asked questions
How much does oven cleaning cost in Notting Hill?
A single oven is £77, a double is £110, and a 90cm range cooker is £143. A cast-iron AGA is £143 because it is a full day’s work. A hob is £23 to £28 depending on type, an extractor hood is £28 and a microwave is £22.
How do you clean the oven, and does it smell?
The shelves and racks come out and soak, so the baked-on carbon loosens in the solution before anyone has to scrape. The cavity and door glass are cleaned by hand. If the products leave a smell in the flat, a window open for a while clears it.
Can you clean a range cooker or an AGA?
Yes. A 90cm range is £143 and a traditional cast-iron AGA is £143. An AGA is a full day and we plan it as one, because the enamel and cast iron have to be treated with care rather than force. These are common in Notting Hill family kitchens and we clean them regularly.
Do you clean the hob and extractor as well?
Yes, and most people add them since the grease from one lands on the others. A hob is £23 to £28 depending on whether it is gas, ceramic or induction, and we take the burners and pan supports off to clean them properly. An extractor is £28; we degrease the metal filters and tell you if a clogged carbon filter simply needs replacing, which is a part you buy.
Will hard water limescale come off the hob and splashback?
Mostly, yes. London water is hard, so the splashback and the drip trays under a gas burner pick up a chalky film. We lift that as part of a hob clean rather than wiping round it. Very old scale that has etched into a surface may leave a faint mark, and we will tell you honestly if it will.
Do I need to do anything to the oven before you come?
No, and please do not spray it with a supermarket oven cleaner the night before. That just leaves a layer we have to strip off first. An oven left completely alone is easier for us than one that has been half-attacked with a can of foam.
Will the parking or the Carnival affect my booking?
The borough is all controlled zones, so we sort the meter or bay ourselves and add just what it costs, shown in your quote. The Carnival is the one date to watch, as it closes streets across the area over the August bank holiday and a van cannot reach some addresses inside the route. If that is you, we book before or after the weekend.
Can you clean the oven at the end of a tenancy?
Yes, and a clean oven is one of the first things an inspection checks, so it is a frequent reason people call. We can do the oven on its own, or as part of the whole flat if you are moving out, with a receipt that keeps the deposit conversation short.
