Steve Archibald is your oven cleaning specialist in Oxford. Having started his Ovenu business back in 2002, he's undoubtedly one of, if not the most knowledgeable and experienced oven cleaners in the Oxford area. Before starting his oven cleaning business Steve worked at BMW in Oxford on the MINI, leading a team doing quality inspections and road testing cars.
A fair few years before that he trained as a chef in a French Restaurant in Oxford called La Sorbonne. While there he cooked for Princes Diana, Edward Heath, Harold Wilson and lots of stars of the stage and screen including Sir Alec Guinness! Away from work he likes to do wildlife and landscape photography, he also collates and researches Big Cat sightings around Britain, a hobby which he's been doing this for 30 years. He's also a fully qualified water-slide safety technician!

Streets of Oxford
Oxford Oven Cleaning Information
The meaning of the name ‘Oxford’ comes from the old word ‘Oxanforda’ which is a ford in the river where cattle can cross safely. Oxford was the capital of England during the English Civil War, whilst it doesn’t hold quite the same clout as it did back then, the city is nonetheless one of the most notable in the south of England.
Whilst the University Colleges are full of interesting facts and trivia (for example, every College has a tortoise that they own, and every Summer in May, the colleges come together to have a tortoise race), you might not be aware that Oxford s home to largest bookshop in the entire world! You’ll find 3 miles of shelving and 150,000 books down in the basement of Blackwells Bookshop which was built back in 1879. It might come as little surprise that Oxford has more published authors per square mile than anywhere else in the world!

Oxford Community Work
“I am a Professional Search and Rescue volunteer with Lowland Rescue Oxfordshire (OxSAR). We assist the emergency services in various roles but mainly Thames Valley Police searching for vulnerable missing people. Last year we were awarded The Queens Award for Voluntary Service (QAVS). It’s the equivalent of an MBE for a volunteer group.
Christmas Day 2019 I was among other volunteers who cooked and served 500 people for Oxford Food Bank.
While volunteering at a Big Cat Sanctuary in Colorado I looked after a White Bengal Tiger called Kenya once owned by Mike Tyson.”
