This is a DIY group. I would expect most people here to save the £40 and do it themselves.
The question will not get a realistic answer here, the question needs asking in a more general group.

Do ovens need cleaning then? Can't say that I've noticed, our one always seems to be fine.

Nope. Taking the bin bags out at about 11:30 on a freezing cold night. I'd happily pay to have someone else do it.

I had mask, gloves and disposable overalls on. And I was still retching.
Next time, (And I fervently hope there never will be one), I will be looking up "D" in the Yellow pages ..

I always cook roasts in a glass dish with a lid. There's seldom any mess in the oven.

They do a seriously good job for £40. However, most people take your stance of "For forty quid I'll do it myself.
In addition, the fact you can but a brand new cooker for £140 probably doesn't help..

Does anyone wanna buy a "bin-bag-putting-out" franchise?

That's where offering the service to landlords and the like comes in
- a new cooker is probably twice that when you factor in the time and installation costs.

Yebbut DIY is not all about economy. I would imagine quite a few people would be willing to pay £40 to someone to clean the oven if it freed up time elsewhere. It's better to pay £40 to a cleaner than £60 to a plumber if paying the cleaner means you can do your own plumbing.
Mind you, £40's a lot of money when according to the Daily Mail we shall be overrun with illegal immigrants for at least the next ten years; I say let them work legally and we can get oven cleaned for a fiver and they'll take the grease home for th bairns' dinner.

The message from snipped-for-privacy@stuff.com (Sponix) contains these words:
They'd have to. Ten of those and I could have bought a new oven.

This _might_ work as a business plan.
If: You operate in a very wealthy area. You offer a large range of other domestic services not just oven cleaning. ... or you might be able to operate as a sub contractor to a One-stop-domestic services shop.
A wiser and/or poorer customer will have little need of your services.
1) Really it's only roasting and grilling that makes ovens dirty. 2) Someone who is seriously into (1) will get a self cleaning oven thus avoiding much of (1) 3) A little care with baking trays and the like can save many accidents in the oven. 4) So long as the oven works who cares about cleaning (at least 60%+ of users will hold to this).Also note that there will be a _very_ small proportion of _very_ nasty people who will try and pin pre-existing oven problems onto to you.
