Repeated late cancellations or missed appointments may result in future bookings requiring a deposit.

Client Responsibilities

Please ensure your home or garden environment is safe and suitable for our oven technicians to enter and treat our staff with respect.

To allow us to carry out the work safely and efficiently, customers are asked to:

  • Ensure ovens, cookers and BBQs are completely cold before the appointment.
  • Provide safe and reasonable access to the appliance.
  • Remove food, cookware and personal belongings from within the appliance.
  • Ensure pets and children are kept away from the immediate work area where possible.

Failure to meet these requirements may result in delays or the appointment needing to be rescheduled.

Access & Conditions

Please provide clear, safe, and timely access to the location and appliance on the agreed date and time. Please also ensure the location and appliance are free from hazardous materials and complies with health and safety regulations.

If we arrive for a booked appointment and are unable to gain access to the property, through no fault of our own, we reserve the right to charge a call-out fee to cover lost time and travel expenses.

Force Majeure

We are not responsible for delays or cancellations caused by events beyond our control (e.g. natural disasters, illness, transport strikes, pandemics etc).

Oven Cleaning Service

Our oven cleaning service is designed to remove grease, carbon deposits and cooking residue from accessible areas of the appliance.

Whilst we strive to achieve the best possible results, customers acknowledge that:

Some staining, corrosion, pitting, discolouration or surface damage may be permanent and cannot always be removed.

Appliances that have not been professionally cleaned for a long period of time may not be capable of being restored to a “like brand new” condition.

Existing defects or damage may become more visible once grease and carbon deposits have been removed.

Appliance Condition

Customers are responsible for informing us of any known faults, damage or previous repair work before cleaning begins.

Crystal Clean Ovens cannot be held responsible for:

  • Existing faults developing further during normal cleaning.
  • Appliances that fail after cleaning due to pre-existing defects.
  • Components that are already worn, damaged or approaching the end of their service life.

Oven Repairs

We offer a range of minor oven repairs and replacement services, including:

  • Oven bulb replacement
  • Oven lamp cover replacement
  • Complete lamp units
  • Door seals
  • Heating elements
  • Glass panels
  • Switch gear
  • Other minor replacement parts

Parts supplied and fitted by Crystal Clean Ovens are covered by any manufacturer’s warranty supplied with the part.

Labour relating to repair work is covered for 30 days from the date of installation unless otherwise stated.

Major Appliance Repairs

Crystal Clean Ovens specialises in cleaning services and minor repairs.

For larger faults involving electrical systems, control boards, thermostats, wiring or complex appliance issues, we may recommend a specialist appliance repair company.

Any recommendation made is provided in good faith; however, Crystal Clean Ovens accepts no responsibility for work carried out by third-party companies.

BBQ Cleaning

BBQ cleaning services are carried out on freestanding mobile gas and charcoal barbecues. We do not clean built in BBQs.

Customers are responsible for ensuring:

  • Gas supplies are safely disconnected where required.
  • BBQs are cold before cleaning.
  • The appliance is accessible on the day of the appointment.

As with ovens, permanent staining, corrosion or weather-related deterioration may remain after cleaning.

Use of Cleaning Products

We use professional non-caustic and non-toxic cleaning products within your home. Our dip tanks do contain some chemical solutions, but these are thoroughly washed off using fresh water from our vans before they are bought back into your home.

Customers must inform us before work commences of:

  • Any known allergies
  • Sensitivities
  • Special requirements relating to cleaning products

Safety information is available upon request.

Payment Terms

Payment is due upon completion of the work unless otherwise agreed in advance.

We accept:
