The original Barbican kitchens were drawn up in imperial measurements, so the oven fitted there may not be a standard 60 cm model. For oven cleaning in the Barbican, Cleaning Oven charges £77 for a single oven.

In the estate’s output areas, 97.5% of households were flat dwellers in 2021 and 56.9% owned their home. So most homes in the Barbican, in the City of London, are flats, and the oven is most likely built into a run of kitchen units. The clean happens in that kitchen. Racks, side runners and the tray go into a soak; the cavity, the door glass and the seal are worked by hand where they are.

Measuring an oven built into an imperial kitchen

The City’s listed building guide for residents describes the kitchens as compact and functional, and says that putting a metric appliance into an original kitchen can mean small alterations to the housing. So it is worth checking the width of the oven you have now. Measure across the oven front before you ring. One door at standard width is a single, £77; two doors make a double, £110; one wide cavity of 90 cm is £114. The oven types guide shows the sizes side by side. If the oven is an older model, have the make and model ready, since some doors are made to come apart for the inner pane and some are not. In a compact kitchen, clear the worktop nearest the oven so the soaking racks have a place.

Visitor hours in the estate car parks

Every Barbican Estate property is entitled to an initial five hours of visitor parking at no charge in the estate car parks, with the estate rates after that. Visitors pay through RingGo using the car park’s location number, and the car park attendants can give you a wallet card with it. On site a single oven usually needs 40 minutes to an hour and a half, well inside five hours. An oven with its hob and hood needs longer. Tell the office which car park serves your block, for example Thomas More House off Aldersgate Street or Willoughby House on Moore Lane. If the cleaner has to pay for a space instead, that sum is added as charged, up to £40 at most.

Owners, sub-tenants and a listed estate

The estate is listed as a single grade II building, and owners are encouraged to keep original fittings where they can. Cleaning the oven leaves the units alone: nothing is unscrewed except the parts made to come out, such as the fan cover where it unscrews. Private tenants were 38.6% of households in 2021, and the parking rules speak of registered sub-tenants, so the end of a let is a likely time to book. The end of tenancy oven clean follows the same steps, and the oven is switched on at the end to check it heats.

Questions about oven cleaning in Barbican

Which car park should the cleaner head for?

The one that serves your block. Give the office the block name, your floor and the RingGo location number from your wallet card if you have it, so the cleaner can use your visitor hours without a search.

How close can the cleaner’s car get to my block in EC2Y?

Only as far as the car park. There is no vehicle access inside the Barbican Estate: the car parks sit at its edges, and most people move about on highwalks one to three storeys above the street. The cleaner carries the equipment on foot from there, so tell the office your block and the entrance nearest your door.

Does the Citigen heating need to be on for the oven clean?

No. An oven clean in a Barbican flat needs the electricity and the water on, and the estate’s homes are heated from the Citigen district heating scheme, which plays no part in the visit. Keep the power to the oven connected, because the cleaner switches it on at the end to check that it heats.
