0800 area code is a part of London, IIRC.
Apparently Londoners can call this service to clean their ovens.
Here in the U.S.A "self-cleaning" is used to mean pyrolytic self-clean, whereas "continuous-cleaning" is used to mean catatlytic (i.e. catalyst "special" coating) on oven walls.
"Self-cleaning" as used by this article appears to lump both types uder this "umbrella" There appears to be a great deal of mis-information regarding pyrolytic self-cleaning. Of course being rare there and in this service's self-interest, of course such system would be poo-pooed!
In a nut-shell it is the most effective cleaning there is for ovens, IMHO.

~To be anywhere near effective, the ‘self-cleaning’ oven cycle has to be applied weekly as the effect is limited at best.
~Nearly all ‘self-cleaning’ oven manufacturers recommend this time frame. This means running the oven for 3-4 hours, full on, and with the door locked…..at least once a week.

I run my GE P*7 wall oven (24") self cleaning for about an hour of actual cleaning time, and that seems to work well.
However, I only do baking in the house oven. No roasting. It stays a LOT cleaner that way, so I only have to run the cleaning cycle every couple of years.
Any roasting I do is in a gas rotisserie/BBQ out on the covered patio. Nothing quite like a chicken or turkey rotisseried with a little wood smoke added. Things like baby back ribs, lamb chops, etc. usually go on a charcoal grill. I also use the gas BBQ for the occasional beef rib eye steak. Although I frankly don't mind a pan-fried steak, which I'll do indoors.

Upon futher reading/research this service is international!
Soem really dilligent "chefs" will heat the oven (to self-clean it) for about an hour after cooking periodically in that it is already hot.

Yein - der Gestank
verflüchtet sehr schnell und die Wirkung ist enorm.
Wir haben ja große Mengen Amonniak im Fensterputzmittel und manch andere Haushaltsreiniger, unangehnem steckend, ja - aber nur kurz anhaltend.
The fumes from the ammonia do a fantastic job of loosening the baked on dirt and they are gone very quickly once things are clean. You can re-use the ammonia left in the bowl in the morning for the cleaning. I would wear eye-protection and rubber gloves but the risk of burning yourself or damaging kitchen surfaces is much lower than with lye.
Do give the bags a try sometime, I think you will be surprised how well they work.
My last full-size oven here in Germany was a deluxe built-in 60cm with self-cleaning. The vent pipe out of the oven went through a catalytic scrubber and filter before exiting into the room. Yes, it was a very expensive oven, top of the line from Siemens.
I used the self-cleaning function every month (shared a really big apartment with a friend and his girl-friend for two years until they found a place of their own. Munich in those days still had a housing shortage). According to the instruction manual, the enormous amount of insulation made up for the extra cost of cleaning - and was still cheaper than using a commercial, caustic product.
Beats me - it worked great.
I never again want a self-cleaning oven without that catalytic scrubber. To be honest, tho' - since I've started using oven bags and putting drip trays under pies and other bound-to-drip stuff, my ovens just don't get that icky dirty that they can't be cleaned with normal household cleaner after every use.
That's the key, really - you have to clean them every time they get dirty.
