Range cookers are priced by width. The complete 90cm costs £143; the 100cm master costs £167.
If you have a single wide oven rather than a full cooker, that is £114.
A range visit, in order
- The cast iron pan supports, burner caps and crowns come off first. They are put to soak before anything else, because iron takes the longest to come clean.
- Racks and runners from every cavity join them.
- The doors come off where the hinges allow. Range doors are heavy, so they lie flat on sheets.
- Main oven, then the second oven, then the grill compartment. Same pattern in each: roof, sides, back, floor.
- Door glass, then the seals.
- The hob top. On gas, the burner bodies are cleared and the ignition points dried. On induction or ceramic, the glass is scraped and polished.
- Everything that was soaking is rinsed off. Each burner cap goes back on its own burner, racks go into their own cavity, doors go back on.
Budget three to four hours for a 90cm range with twin ovens and gas burners.
Not sure of the width? Run a tape measure across the front of the cooker, edge to edge. The usual sizes are 90cm and 100cm, so it takes seconds, and the price you get on the phone is then the price on the day.
The hob is part of the price
On a range the hob belongs to the cooker, so it is included. A separate built-in hob next to a built-in oven is a different job, covered on the hob page.
It stays where it stands
A range stays in its slot while we work. Pulling one forward risks the floor, and the gas or electric connection behind it is not ours to disturb. We clean the front and top, every cavity, and down each side until the gap gets too tight for a hand. If you want the space behind cleaned, get the cooker moved out first and we will do the floor and the back while it stands clear.

Hard water on a range top
Egham’s supply is hard water, around 275 mg/l. On a range you see it as white scale round the burners and on the steel or enamel surround, often where a kettle has boiled over. Degreaser will not shift it. So the top gets two goes: grease off first, then a descaler on whatever white marks are left.
We clean ranges all over the area, from the larger detached houses up the hill towards Englefield Green to the family kitchens of Virginia Water. For a cast iron heat-storage cooker, see AGA cleaning.
Questions we get asked
Mine is 110cm wide. What will that cost?
The list stops at the 100cm master range, £167. Anything wider gets priced on the call once you read us the make and model off the badge. Width sets the price, along with the number of cavities.
Is the hob on top charged separately?
No. The hob on a range counts as part of the cooker. The burner parts soak alongside the racks, and the top is cleaned during the same visit.
Can you clean an induction range?
Yes. The glass top is scraped with a blade and polished by hand. There are no burner parts to soak, so an induction range often finishes a little sooner than a gas one. The price is the same.
We only cook on the range. When will we have it back?
A 90cm with two ovens and gas burners needs three to four hours. A nine o’clock start usually means cooking again by mid-afternoon. The iron pan supports set the pace, which is why they soak before anything else.
