Typical prices
Ranges, not quotes. A quote depends on the appliance, and how many of them there are.
| Work | Typical UK price |
|---|---|
| Single oven | £60 to £90 |
| Double oven | £75 to £120 |
| Range cooker | £110 to £180 |
| Hob, added to an oven clean | £20 to £35 |
| Extractor hood and filter | £25 to £45 |
| AGA or cast iron range | £150 to £250 |
Book the oven, hob and extractor together. They are one visit, one setup and one journey, and buying them separately costs considerably more for work that would have taken the same afternoon.
What moves the price
- Single, double or range. A range with two cavities and a warming drawer is three to four hours of work.
- How long since it was last done. A year of ordinary use is a standard job; five years of spills is not.
- Whether the hob and extractor are added, which most people do and which is cheaper done in the same visit.
- Whether the door comes apart. Most do, and cleaning the inner faces of the glass is what makes the difference visible.
- An AGA or a cast iron stove, which is a different job again and takes most of a day.
- Distance, since the heated tank is in the van and the round has to make sense.

Questions about oven cleaning
Will it come up like new?
Usually close. Pitted or crazed enamel and glass that has been scratched by a scraper are permanent, and a specialist should point both out before starting.
How often is it worth doing?
Once or twice a year for a household that cooks most days, and before a check-out inspection at the end of a tenancy, where the oven is the single most common deduction.
