Oven cleaning in Kensington
Kensington's period kitchens run to range cookers and AGAs, and every visit here is planned around the extra time a big cooker takes. The price is settled on the phone and the cooker is back in use that evening.

Stucco, mews and mansion blocks
The Royal Borough issues no visitor parking permits at all. Controlled hours run 8.30am to 6.30pm on weekdays and 8.30am to 1.30pm on Saturday, so the van goes on pay-by-phone or into an off-street bay booked ahead. Along Notting Hill Gate the pay-by-phone hours are different again (10am to 4pm on weekdays), and we read the bay plate before unloading anything.
Plenty of the kitchens here are on the lower ground floor, reached by the narrow area steps from the pavement. The racks and a range's cast-iron pan supports go up and down those steps by hand. In the red-brick mansion blocks, Kensington Court and the Iverna Gardens group among them, the porter decides when we can have the service lift, so that is arranged with the front desk. If you let the flat through an agent, pass us the porter's number and we will sort the rest.
W8 water is hard. On steam ovens, and on any door glass that sees a lot of steam, that shows as white scale spotting under the brown grease, and it is treated as a second job on the same pane. The page on range cooker cleaning explains how a big cooker is handled.
From a 60cm door to a 100cm range
- 01
Single ovens
One cavity, one door and the grill element in its roof. Around two hours in a flat or a mews kitchen.
Single oven £77 - 02
Double ovens
The top cavity takes the grill spatter, so it gets the longer soak. Plan on about three hours.
Double oven £110 - 03
Range cookers
Heavy doors, enamel side panels and a wide gas top, all covered on a complete 90cm range. We book three to four hours for one.
Range cooker £143 - 04
Hobs and canopy hoods
Pan supports, burner caps and the hood's metal filters all come off and soak while the hob top is done by hand.
Hob from £23
One price per cooker
You pay for the appliance, whatever state it is in. A complete 90cm range is £143, £167 buys a 100cm master range, and £187 a four-oven AGA.
