What makes Eco Oven Cleaning different from other oven cleaners?

Our approach is based on professional cleaning without relying on harsh caustic products or leaving removable oven parts soaking in a communal chemical dip tank.

We use freshly prepared cleaning solutions and fresh water for each job, together with specialist cleaning equipment and techniques. Our aim is to achieve a thorough clean while keeping the process as considerate as possible for your home, family and pets.

Do you use a heated chemical dip tank?

No. Our cleaning method does not depend on the traditional heated caustic dip-tank process.

We believe removable oven components should be cleaned as part of the individual customer's service, rather than repeatedly placed into the same communal chemical bath used for multiple jobs.

Are your oven cleaning products safe around children and pets?

We use plant-based, biodegradable cleaning solutions selected with the home environment in mind. Our process is designed to avoid the harsh fumes associated with aggressive caustic cleaning products.

As with any professional cleaning service, we still recommend that children and pets are kept away from the immediate work area while cleaning is taking place.

Can I use my oven immediately after it has been cleaned?

Yes. Our fume-free cleaning process means there is no requirement to leave the oven unused for hours simply because of strong chemical fumes.

Once the cleaning has been completed and the appliance has been checked, you can use your oven normally.

Do I have to pay anything upfront when I book?

No. We do not require an upfront payment simply to make your oven cleaning appointment.

You can choose your appointment online and pay for the service without having to pay a deposit in advance.

What happens if my oven has a fault?

If we notice something that doesn't look right during our visit, we can discuss it with you. Our services include oven fault diagnosis, replacement parts and repairs, subject to the appliance, fault and availability of suitable parts.

We believe cleaning and appliance care should not always be treated as completely separate services. Sometimes a dirty appliance can also reveal a maintenance or performance issue that deserves attention.

What types of oven repairs do you carry out?

Depending on the appliance and diagnosis, we can help with common oven problems including heating faults, thermostats, heating elements, cooling and fan problems, oven lights, switches, door issues, seals and other replaceable components.

We also provide fault diagnosis and can advise when a repair is practical and when replacement may be the better option.

Can you repair my oven if you don't know what is wrong with it?

Yes. That's where diagnosis is important. Rather than guessing which component needs replacing, the fault should first be assessed so that the likely cause can be identified.

Common symptoms include an oven that isn't heating, takes too long to cook, overheats, cooks unevenly, trips the electrics, has a faulty light, or has problems with the fan or door.

Is an oven clean worth having if my oven is extremely dirty?

Yes. Heavy grease and baked-on carbon are precisely the types of contamination that professional oven cleaning is designed to deal with.

We see ovens in all sorts of conditions. You don't need to be embarrassed about how dirty your oven has become — that's what professional cleaning is for.

What appliances can you clean?

Our services can include single ovens, large single ovens, double ovens, oven and grill combinations, range cookers, Aga and Rayburn appliances, hobs, extractor hoods, microwaves and other kitchen appliances depending on the service required.

Combination cleaning can also be arranged when several appliances need attention during the same visit.

How long does an oven clean take?

The time required depends on the size, type and condition of the appliance and any additional appliances being cleaned. We allow sufficient appointment time to do the job properly rather than rushing to meet an artificially short cleaning time.

Do I need to prepare my oven before you arrive?

There is usually no need to spend hours trying to clean the oven yourself beforehand. Simply remove any food, trays or loose items that you need to keep elsewhere, and make sure we can safely access the appliance and surrounding work area.

Do you clean the oven glass and racks as well?

Yes. Oven cleaning is more than simply wiping the inside of the cavity. We clean the appropriate removable components, racks, internal surfaces and glass as part of the service, using methods suitable for the appliance.

Do you cover my area?

We provide professional oven cleaning across Cardiff, Newport, Bristol, Monmouthshire, Cheltenham and Gloucester, with surrounding areas also covered depending on postcode.

How do I know whether I need an oven clean or an oven repair?

A dirty oven generally needs cleaning, but problems such as poor heating, temperature fluctuations, electrical tripping, unusual noises, faulty fans or damaged doors may indicate a repair issue.

Sometimes you may need both. A professional inspection can help establish whether you're dealing with accumulated grease and residue, an appliance fault, or a combination of the two.

Ask the Oven Doctor

Cleaning can sometimes reveal more than dirt. Here's some of the practical advice we give customers when an oven isn't behaving properly.

Oven not heating?

Possible causes include a failed heating element, thermostat, selector switch or another electrical component. Don't assume the element is automatically the fault — diagnosis matters.

Oven too hot or too cold?

Temperature problems can have several causes. A thermostat, sensor or control issue may be involved, so symptoms should be assessed rather than simply replacing parts at random.

Oven tripping the electrics?

Electrical faults should never be ignored. A heating element, wiring or another electrical component may be responsible. If an appliance repeatedly trips the electrics, stop using it and have the fault properly assessed.

Fan not working?

Fan problems can affect cooking performance and, depending on the appliance, cooling. The cause may be the fan motor, control system or another component.
