For those who have used an oven cleaning service.....

Phoenix my ovens are the same as yours and for the last two years I've paid £40 or £50 for cleaning by OvenClean. Both times this was with a £10 off New Year offer. I'm in South London.

We want to buy a sofa and haven't found a comfortable supportive one that's not too traditional. Would be interested in any suggestions.

I'm in South London and two years running have used OvenClean in January when there is a £10 off offer. Double oven cost £50, took one and a half hours and was immaculate.

Reading the other posts it might have been more but not much over £100. Took about three hours.

Groupon will probably have an offer. I pay £35 for one oven with their offer.

Ovenu charged me I think about £80 for a 7 ring hob range cooker with 4 ovens, including new bulbs in the oven lights and completely taking everything to bits (including the fans) and reassembling!
No way could I have attempted all that.

Have used this service twice, about three years apart. My double oven costs (ie. normal oven and oven/grill), about £60 and comes up like new, including the door windows Wonderful!!!!!

I use The Cotswold Oven Valeting service, oven cleaning costs £45, and takes around an hour, they do a spectacular job, like a new oven every time.

That sounds par for the course, Phoenix. I used a local chap last year, not part of a chain, and paid £45 for one large oven. I think he said it would be £15 for the extractor fan but I can't recall whether I said yes or no to that as it doesn't get used much. I open a window instead.

I think mine - single electric oven and gas hob - was about £50. He did an excellent job and used substances that he said were environmentally friendly and they didn't leave an unpleasantly 'chemical' smell behind.
Another 12 years, and I will use him again.

kittylester I'm pretty sure after googling, that "Brillo" is a newish oven cleaning franchise company.

The operator lives in the village, and when I mentioned it in the shop while collecting the papers, the person behind the counter said she has used him and was so impressed that she was loath to actually use her oven after!

I suppose the thing is, that although it's a franchise, the fact that the operator lives in the village should mean that he values his reputation locally.

Word of mouth means a lot round here!

Someone over the road from us had an oven cleaning van parked on the drive. The van was emblazoned with 'oven cleaning service £49.99'.

Thank you for the responses.

The chap reckons around 2 hours 30 minutes.

I have told him that the grill pan and oven trays are fine, but says that they just go "in the tank" and the real hard work is in doing the interior of the ovens.

I suppose that makes sense?

I contacted a local firm for a quotation recently. For my one and a half oven plus grill and hotplates plus extractor fan, I was quoted £170
Back to the Oven Pride!

Hmm, interesting!

I have what I would call a "standard" cooker, i. e large oven below, small oven/grill above.

The quote was £60.

Previously when I looked into a professional oven clean (it was going to be a surprise present for Mr P's birthday ) there wasnt anyone offering the service in our area.

Perhaps that as it is a rural area, prices might be a bit higher due to travel distance/costs?

Mine is also Ovenu and I forgot to say I only use it around every 3 years so for me it is money well spent as I loathe the job. I never want to use my oven for ages afterwards- it is a single electric oven.

I use Ovenu and have just been quoted £140 for my one and a half width range cooker and the extractor. I had been quoted £130 by a local chap who is a friend of my cleaner but let us down at the last minute.

I would be concerned about someone with 'brillo' in his name.

phoenix you probably know I live in London so it is more expensive here- around £80 but he is here for around 3 hours- and is very meticulous.

I pay £50 for a large oven, and top burners, if I have the whole of the range cleaned it is £80. Worth every penny!!

I think it depends on the oven. I have received a quote for my 2 oven Rayburn of £120. This is from a "one man band" rather than a franchise (my experience with a franchise was not good!)

I have checked 2 local companies to me and their adverts quote 'from £40' and '£55' for a single oven. There are sometimes special offers on Groupon too. I hope you find a good price.
I use Oven Pride which works beautifully once I get around to it. The box had been on my kitchen counter for months to jog my memory!
