How Much To Clean an Oven in the UK?

Oven cleaning is simple right?

But, what about that deep, stuck-on grease? Or that stain or piece of food which just won't come off?

Sometimes, hiring a professional cleaner is the only way to ensure your oven looks brand new, once the cleaning professionals have completed services.

What exactly do professional cleaning services entail?

Single or double-rack ovens require different cleaning agents. Further, depending on the oven's size, the type of cleaning products and cleaning agents used, might vary.

If an oven is gas vent versus electric, the cleaning method will also differ. Only professionals who work with these products regularly are capable of determining the best method to go about cleaning the oven.

Removing the racks, cleaning coils, traps, vents, and even the flue are services which are performed when you hire a licensed professional to clean your oven. So, rather than spray it with a harsh chemical agent or just turn on the auto-cleaner for a few hours, why not have your oven professionally cleaned?

It will finally eliminate those stuck-on messes and the grease which has been caught in the vents since you've owned your home for good.

How do I get my oven door clean? I've tried a few 'hacks' but they haven't worked. I think it's because the grease has hardened on over time. Any tips or product suggestions that will work?

"The only thing we have found works perfectly is the Dr Magic Oven Spray, Spray on leave 5 minutes the its wipes off easy with a damp cloth. Will leave it gleaming, every customer we have used it with has been super happy and cannot believe the results."

Oven Cleaning Prices

Oven cleaning prices that you're quoted for by professionals will typically include the cost of oven cleaning materials — so this isn't usually something you'll need to worry about.

The table below shows what oven clean prices typically are for different types of ovens (standard single, double, and range).

As you might expect, oven cleaning costs will be higher if your oven is bigger, as more of the professional cleaner's time is required.

Cleaning Standard Double Oven	1 – 2 Hours	£70
Range Cooker (around 100cm)	2 – 3 Hours	£80 – £100

How often should you clean your oven?

"You should clean your oven every 3 to 6 months, depending on how often you use it. However, if you notice spills, smoke, or lingering smells, it’s a good idea to clean it sooner. Regular cleaning prevents build-up, ensures your oven runs efficiently, and helps avoid potential fire hazards. If you use your oven heavily, more frequent cleanings may be necessary."

Things To Consider When Having Your Oven Professionally Cleaned

Professional cleaning services are great. Remove the stuck-on grease. Clean the traps and get rid of gunk built up in the vent and exhaust system. But, it comes at a premium price, and you have to take your time to hire the right professionals for the job.

Before hiring a company, consider reputation. Make sure they are licensed and bonded. Only hire a company that screens its employees fully prior to hiring them, so you know who is coming into the home. And take the time to compare cleaning methods, how they clean your oven, the agents used, and if they offer "green” cleaning services.

Do they clean single or double-rack ovens? Depending on the oven’s size and source of fuel/energy, not all companies will offer the cleaning services you desire. So, taking your time to compare local companies, the work they perform, and how they go about performing such services are a few of the many factors to consider as you are deciding who to hire.

It is also a good idea to learn about cleaning methods, the chemicals they use, duration, cost, and how long it will be prior to being able to use your oven. Every detail matters. So, taking your time to learn about services, how they are performed and what you should know before using your oven again.

How do I clean my oven without using strong chemicals?

"Lemon or lime to cut the grease, with hot water and vinegar for shining inside the oven. Use a wire brush if heavily greasy."

Can I Clean an Oven Myself?

Sure, you can always clean your oven. Many today have built-in self-cleaners. So, you simply remove the racks and turn on the self-cleaner. The problem is that afterwards you still have to wipe off surfaces, and the vent system is not properly cleaned. Plus, you still have to clean the exterior.

If you manually choose to clean the oven, you might not have the best cleaning agent to do the job. So, this may result in less than ideal cleaning. So, you might not be pleased with the outcome.

What is the go-to brand for an oven cleaner product?

"HG Spray for cleaning ovens, grills, and barbecues. Removes baked-on food and burnt grease quickly for kitchen and outdoors (500 ml). This is the best."

A third alternative is to hire a professional company. For those who want detailed, full-cleaning services, this is the best alternative to consider. It is quick, it is efficient and you know exactly what you are getting and what you can expect.

You know they will use the best cleaners, do a full-cleaning, detail and touch up work and they will guarantee your satisfaction with the services which they are going to render.

Before you hire a company, think it through. Compare reputation, how well known they are locally, how much they charge, and so forth. Doing this will not only give you a better idea of what to expect, but also how you can go about hiring the most qualified, for professional cleaning services.

How do I clean a glass oven door DIY?

"This will depend on how the glass comes out, as all ovens are different. First, refer to your user guide under the cleaning section and it should tell you how the glass comes out. It will either involve a couple of screws, press-in catches at the side, or pulling it up from the bottom.

Then, remove the layer of glass from. Be careful as the door now becomes lighter, so could jump forward to close. When you have that piece of glass out, check if there is second or a third piece and remove those as well.

Now you have all the glass out, you can clean all the glass panels on both sides and dry them. Once that is completed, you can put the glass back the same way you took them out, making sure the door is secure and then put the screws back in or the piece of plastic a the top of the oven door.

FAQs

Can I clean my oven?

Sure. But, the level of detail, cleanliness, cleaning agents, and amount of time it will take, will greatly exceed hiring a professional company. And, the results are not going to come close to those of a professional cleaning company.

Is a self-cleaning oven the same?

No. It will clean the oven, but it will not do detail work. And, afterwards, you are going to have to clean the exterior, wipe off powder, dust, and the interior surfaces. And, it is not guaranteed to get off all types of dirt, or stuck on grease, as is the case, when you hire a professional cleaning company.

How long will cleaning take?

Professional companies can typically clean a single or double-oven in a matter of hours. In fact, even very large ovens, or those with detailed work throughout, should not take much more than a few hours to finis.
