Nobody in Stratford cleans the oven until it forces the issue, usually by smoking out an open-plan kitchen the night people are coming round. We soak everything removable, clean the cavity and the door glass by hand in your kitchen, and hand the oven back the same day as the kitchen’s best appliance rather than its guilty secret.
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 Stratford is £77 and a double is £110. Hobs run £23 to £28, an extractor hood is £28, a microwave £22, and the price you are given is the price you pay.
Oven cleaning prices in Stratford
Each price below is fixed, and there is no call-out charge.
- Single built-in oven
- £77, and it takes 75 to 90 minutes
- Double oven
- £110, and it takes up to two hours
- 90cm range cooker
- £143
- AGA
- £143, because it is a three-to-five-hour job on a machine that has to be completely cold before we touch it
- Hob
- £23 to £28 depending on type and how far gone it is
- Extractor hood
- £28
- Microwave
- £22
Most people book the oven and hob together. It adds twenty minutes or so, and it saves the odd sight of a gleaming oven sitting under a burnt hob.
Nobody upsells you at the door. The person who quotes the job is quoting the finished job, cleaned, reassembled and tested.
The small jobs matter more than they look. An extractor hood at £28 is mostly filter and grease-trap work, and a £22 microwave clean takes twenty minutes yet gets booked surprisingly often, usually once somebody has smelled last week’s curry warming up inside this week’s porridge.

Stratford kitchens sort themselves by decade.
- East Village and the towers around Westfield and Stratford International
- Developers fitted the same setup over and over: a built-in electric single, an induction or ceramic hob and an extractor above. Those kitchens sit inside the living space, which means every burnt tray perfumes the whole flat and the smoke alarm has opinions. Most of the hoods recirculate through a filter rather than venting out, so they load up with grease faster than anyone expects.
- The terraces off Leytonstone Road and through Maryland and West Ham
- A different museum. Freestanding cookers with grill compartments. Gas hobs whose burner crowns have not been lifted this tenancy. Sturdy old doubles that have outlived several tenants. In the done-up Victorian houses we meet 90cm ranges, and a few times a year an AGA.
- Flatshare kitchens
- They work hardest of all. Four sharers cooking in shifts pushes four dinners a night through one oven, and cleaning it is nobody’s job in particular, so it becomes nobody’s job at all.
A flatshare oven usually gets sorted when someone moves out, or when the grill starts setting the alarm off. Either way, that is the day our phone rings.

How the clean works
Everything removable comes out to soak, and the baked-on grease loosens while we work on the shell.
- Racks, trays, side runners and the fan cover go into a degreasing soak, along with the inner door glass where the design allows.
- Inside the oven we use professional oven products, and carbon comes off the roof and walls.
- The door glass is cleaned on both sides, and between the panes where the door comes apart.
- Seals and hinges are degreased.
- The whole thing goes back together and gets tested.
Opening a window for a while clears any smell the products leave in the flat. You can cook in it the minute we leave.

Hobs and limescale
Hobs get their own attention, and in Stratford that includes limescale. Thames Water here is properly hard, somewhere around 290 to 300 ppm, and every boil-over bakes a thin white ring onto the glass or the steel. It comes off. It just needs the right product rather than more scrubbing.
Ninety minutes is the honest average for a single oven that has not been cleaned in a year. Doubles and ranges take longer because there is more metal to soak and more glass to clean.
Paying us versus doing it yourself
Honest answer: a supermarket oven kit costs a few pounds and sort of works. If you enjoy the job and do it every couple of months, keep going. You do not need us.
Where the kit falls short:
- The foam is caustic, and the fumes are grim in a small kitchen.
- The bin-bag trick leaves the racks half done.
- The door glass stays foggy, because the grime sits between the panes where no spray reaches.
What you are actually buying from us is the products, the know-how and two hours of kneeling done by someone else. The soak is the difference. Racks left to soak properly come out clean to the corners, which rarely happens with a scrub on the draining board.
Most customers have us in every six months to a year and do nothing in between beyond wiping the oven out while it is still warm.
Access, parking and the day itself
One cleaner comes, carrying everything the job needs.
- The oven has to be cold, so do not run it that morning. An AGA needs switching off the night before.
- We lay floor covering from the front door to the kitchen.
- We work for the times listed above.
- We take the mess away with us rather than filling your bin with it.
Ovens book into morning or afternoon slots rather than vague all-day windows. Access is rarely a problem here.
- Concierge buildings
- East Village, the High Street towers and the rest: we sign in at the desk like any contractor, and plenty of customers simply leave the arrangement with the front desk and go to work.
- Terraced streets
- We sort the permit or the meter in advance and tell you any cost when we quote.

Oven cleaning questions, answered
How much does oven cleaning cost in Stratford?
£77 for a single oven, £110 for a double, £143 for a 90cm range cooker and £143 for an AGA. Hobs are £23 to £28 depending on type and state, extractor hoods £28 and microwaves £22. Prices are fixed when you book and there is no call-out fee on top.
How long does an oven clean take?
75 to 90 minutes for a single oven, up to two hours for a double, two to two and a half for a 90cm range. An AGA is a three-to-five-hour visit. Add roughly twenty minutes if we are doing the hob and extractor at the same time, which most people ask for.
Can I use the oven straight after the clean?
Yes, immediately. We wipe the cavity down once it is clean, so there is nothing to burn off, and an open window clears any smell. Cook that same evening. If anything the oven runs better, because the fan and the elements are no longer coated in old grease.
Do you clean between the door glass panels?
Yes, where the door design allows it to come apart, and most do. The brown fog on an oven door usually lives inside the double glazing, which is why kitchen sprays never shift it. Dismantling the door is routine for us and it goes back together properly, seals and all.
Do you clean range cookers and AGAs in Stratford?
We do. A 90cm range is £143 and an AGA is £143. Ranges turn up in the renovated terraces around Maryland and West Ham more often than you would guess. An AGA has to be cool before anyone can work on it, so it needs switching off the night before we come.
Can you do the clean while I am at work?
Very often, yes. In the blocks with a front desk we sign in, collect access the way you have arranged it and lock up after ourselves, and you come home to a finished oven. Key arrangements are agreed when you book. A good share of our E20 customers do it exactly this way.
Which areas do you cover for oven cleaning?
The whole of Stratford: E20 with East Village and the Olympic Park neighbourhoods, and E15 through Maryland, the Carpenters Estate and West Ham. On the edge, in Bow or Leyton say? Call anyway. The van does not mind a few extra minutes.
