I had an oven very much like yours and as the oven cleaning companies were a bit pricey I tried some Oven Pride (the one were you put the racks in the bag with the solution) and it came up like new!!! I did the racks, the glass which slides out of the oven door and also the gas rings from the hob. You can do the racks, leave overnight in the bag, just take the racks out while keeping the soultion in the bag then use again for the other bits you want to do, FANTASTIC!!! If your hob is a bit grungy you can pour the soultion on it, scrub with a dishwashing brush, leave for a bit and hey presto!! good luck.

Life is too short to properly clean an oven. The oven cleaning guy was fab (Although DH asked and he only used a cream cleaner and elbow grease on the inside - took the rails out to dip in the vat in his van, though). It looked like new when he'd finished.

Don't have a company to recommend but whatever it costs - go for it.

I recently cleaned mine and it was hell. I unscrewed all the doors, ending up breaking the glass and then had to buy a new oven!

Never again will I clean my own oven

I use www.theovencleaningco.com and always found them excellent. They were here last week in fact to do my double oven (about £55, iirc) and it is sparkling still. They are punctual and friendly, and the lady you ring to book an appt is always nice and helpful. I've used them for a few years now, a couple of times a year, and its one of those things I really wouldn't be without.

Hi I use www.ovengleam.com and they've been brilliant too. I had an email from them today - they've a special offer on at the moment as it's their 6th Birthday! Ahhh! I live in Bristol but they go all over the south-west of england.

I would definitely try an oven cleaning company, the oven looks like new afterwards. Then buy some of those oven liners from lakeland, which are really easy to clean, even baked on food stuff simply wipes off.

couple of recommendations on this recent thread

I use ovengleam too - they are fab!

Just buy some Oven Pride, you put it on leave for a few hours and wipe it off, hey presto sparkly new oven.

I used it today for the first time and am seriously impressed, cost me less than £4 from Tesco.

Sounds too good to be true but honestly it works.

My oven shelf is now totally silver like it was on the day I brought it.
