Be careful using shop bought oven cleaning products.
We see this time & time again...
Shop bought oven cleaning kits that aren’t used correctly, (let’s face it, they aren’t great when used correctly). They’re caustic so if not wiped off properly, it will corrode whatever it’s in contact with.
The last picture here shows rust on the shelf supports and there’s no coming back from that unfortunately.

We only use non-caustic products so no damage can be caused, there’s no strong smells during the cleaning process and your oven is safe to use straight away!

To get your oven professionally cleaned, get in touch with One Less Job!

One Less Job is expanding!
We said there was some exciting news on the way, well, were getting bigger...
We're still the number one choice for oven cleaning, that hasn't and will never change. 
For a while now we've been offering an ironing service, and external cleaning (driveway & patio pressure washing), but now, we have added GUTTER CLEANING to our list of services. For more detail, click on the services tab above.
So you know what to do - to give yourself one less job to do, give One Less Job a call!

We haven't posted any news for a while
Reading back on the Covid updates below seems like a lifetime ago. We'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of our wonderful customers over the past few years as we know it was difficult at times to let people in to your homes. But, following the rules at the times and our own procedures, thankfully were still in business and growing stronger.
That said, WE HAVE SOME EXCITING NEWS COMING UP, so watch this space!...

We are still open for appointments.
​As restrictions ease further in England, thankfully it seems we are returning to some sort of normality.
We would like to clarify our position regarding Covid-safe measures we are maintaining.

In order to keep everyone as safe as possible as we have been doing since May 2020, we will continue with some of our Covid-safe working practices to ensure we continue to play our part in reducing the spread of the virus.

Just so you know (for your peace of mind), all our staff are fully vaccinated as of 05/07/21.

Please see the list below of our revised measures we will adhere to;

1. We will call 10-20 minutes before we arrive - feel free to open a window if you wish
2. We will use hand sanitizer before we enter your property
3. Gloves will be worn at all times when at your property
4. If you want us to wear a mask whilst in your property for any reason, please do ask and we will gladly put one on
5. We will try our best keep at least 2 meters away from anyone in the house and would still appreciate it if you could keep that distance from us
6. Where possible, payment by bank transfer is now preferred but card and cash payments are still be accepted
7. Gloves & masks worn in your home will never be reused elsewhere and will be safely disposed of
8. Hand sanitizer will be used when we leave your property.

We are still open for appointments.
With many restrictions easing in England from Monday 19th July 2021, we would like to clarify our position regarding maintaining Covid-safe environments for our customers, and ourselves.

In order to keep everyone as safe as possible as we have been doing since May 2020, we will continue with the majority of our Covid-safe working practices to ensure we are playing our part in reducing the spread of the virus.
This means that, amongst other measures, we will continue to wear face coverings in the customers home and ask we have the kitchen to ourselves whilst working.
We will never ask the customer to wear a mask in their own home but feel free to if you wish.

Just so you know (for your peace of mind), all our staff are fully vaccinated as of 05/07/21.

3. Gloves and a face mask will be worn at all times when at your property.
4. We will try our best keep at least 2 meters away from anyone in the house and would still appreciate it if you could keep that distance from us.
5. Although we love a cup of tea, if offered a drink in your home, we will politely refuse so please don’t be offended!
   This is to ensure our contact to any surfaces or items in your home is kept to a minimum and also removes the need for you to be in the same room.

Please read the below story before you buy a bottle of oven cleaning fluid in the shops, its really dangerous stuff. This poor little boy will have scars for life.

All products used by One Less Job are non caustic so they are totally safe for you, your children, your pets, your oven, and us, the guys who clean your oven!

We don’t want to bring ANYTHING in to your home that can damage it or you. Even if you read this and other pages on the site and decide to use another professional oven cleaner, make sure they don’t use any nasty chemicals.

Had the pleasure to meet a chap called David Andrews yesterday, he’s a life coach who lives in Birmingham. Whilst cleaning his oven we had some very interesting conversations and a laugh about many different things. He said how happy he was with his ‘new’ oven but he took the time out to make a little video!!

Thank you, David.

We are based in Boldmere, Sutton Coldfield but cover all of the Birmingham area. We are also often found in the Wolverhampton area and in and around Warwick and Leamington Spa.

Unlike a lot of other oven cleaners out there where you have to call to get a price, all our prices are clearly laid out on our prices page and there are no hidden costs. All costs include the racks and trays and we use non caustic cleaning solutions.
