ebaygirl Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Hi Oh knowledgeable Omleteers How much does it cost to have an oven professionally cleaned? We are moving in 2 weeks time and the oven is staying here. I hate cleaning it but feel it would be a nice gesture to have it done really well (at least once in its life!) but I'm wary of spending a fortune when there are so many other more pressing costs associated with moving house. Many thanks Sarah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I have had it done once and have a feeling it cost £70 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Think I paid around £60 a couple of years ago. Well worth it. It was the ONLY thing in my house that hadn't been cleaned/repaired/painted when I moved in - so I didn't bear a grudge against the previous owners!

ebaygirl Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 Thanks CM and Olly. That's really helpful. Sarah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I would depend on where you live & the size of the cooker - ranges are going to cost more. I have a range & mine is usually about £90,I think . I get it done just once a year & it is well worth it Best to Google it really,& get some quotes.

donald Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Had mine done a couple of weeks ago it is a double and was I am ashamed to say filthy! It was £60 but with the new bulb nearly £70. We were told it was a self cleaner(not sure if they really exist) but its not! Well thats my excuse. The guy took a couple of hours and did a fantastic job, first time I ever had it done(no wonder it was filthy). Looks brand new now Donald.

Old Speckled Hen Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I never realised that there were people that would clean your oven Next thing is having people to do your spring cleaning............. I could think of so many other ways to spend that sort of money......you lot must have money to throw away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I must admit to being tempted a couple of times, but I am always worried that they will break something then I will have to spend considerably more on a new oven. I would rather get the Oven Mate out and spend a couple of hours spucing it up from time to time than spend more than a days wages getting someone else to do it. Self cleaning oven only work if you use high temperatures regularly, my oven has stayed much cleaner since I started cooking bread regularly. I also wipe out the inside with a cloth after cooking a roast while the oven is still warm which removes a lot of the grease very quickly and stops a build up.

That is really helpful to have it all broken down like that, thank you. Having totted up the costs I think the new owners may have to make do with my elbow grease - I can't afford to be that nice to them! Thanks to all who have replied.

Valkyrie Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 We used Ovenclean - they are local (franchise I think it is). My cooker needed an engineer and no way was I going to let him see my dirty ovens! It cost us £80 and OH gave him a little extra as he worked really hard - he even fixed one of the doors for me! Hopefully I will remember to clean it more often so won't have to use them, but this guy was good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's never been so bad that I needed to give it a deep clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, it was very embarrassing to hear him chipping the gunk off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadietoo Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Wow!!...people who will clean your oven... I use the liner from Lakeland and my steam cleaner and keep on top of ours mostly..that said we are vegetarian so no roast dinners helps..... However, I really would like someone who would come in every night and clean the hob!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
