Scope limits
What's not included
So there are no surprises, here is what sits outside the standard clean. Several of these can be added on request.
- Dismantling integrated or built-in units beyond the parts that lift out without tools
- Repair or replacement of broken door seals, hinges, bulbs or fan elements
- Damage to catalytic or self-clean liners, which we will not scrub as it ruins the coating
- Restoring chipped enamel, pitted metal or scratches already in the appliance
- Microwaves, fridges, dishwashers or other appliances unless added to the scope
- Gas or electrical work, including disconnecting or reconnecting the appliance
Common problems
Typical issues we tackle
- Grease/carbon build-up on walls and base
- Door glass staining and baked-on residue
- Racks/trays needing deep degreasing
- Smoke or burning smell when the oven heats from old spills on the element
- Cloudy or filmed door glass that a quick wipe never clears
- Greasy, sticky control knobs and handles around the front
Typical timings
How long it takes
These are rough guides drawn from typical UK jobs; heavy carbon build-up or awkward access can add time, and we confirm an estimate once we know your appliance and its condition.
| Property size | Typical time |
|---|---|
| Single oven | 1 to 1.5 hours typical |
| Double oven | 1.5 to 2.5 hours typical |
| Range cooker (5+ burners) | 2.5 to 3.5 hours typical |
| Oven + hob | 2 to 3 hours typical |
| Oven + hob + extractor | 2.5 to 4 hours typical |

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Do you clean hobs and extractors?
These can be added to your scope. Mention them when requesting a quote so time and materials are included.
Do you clean on-site or take the parts away?
The main clean is done on-site at your kitchen. Removable parts such as racks, trays and shelves are degreased in a container we bring, then refitted before we leave. We do not remove your oven from the property.
Are the products and fumes safe, and can I stay in the house?
Yes, you can stay in. We ventilate the kitchen while we work and keep the products to that room. If anyone in the home has breathing sensitivities, tell us in advance and we will plan around it.
How soon can I use the oven afterwards?
In most cases you can use it straight away once we have finished and wiped everything down. If a stronger treatment was needed on heavy carbon, we may suggest running it empty on a low heat for a short while first to clear any residual smell.
Can you remove baked-on carbon, and what will not fully come off?
Most baked-on grease and carbon lifts with the right products and dwell time. What we cannot undo is damage already in the surface, such as discoloured or pitted enamel, scratched glass or a degraded self-clean liner. We will tell you on the day what is dirt and what is wear.
