Grates, burners, flame tamers and firebox
Gas grills, charcoal kettles, kamados and built-in outdoor kitchens stripped and dip-tanked at your address anywhere in Greater Manchester — carbon off the grates, grease out of the firebox, burner ports cleared and the whole thing rebuilt and tested before we leave.
A barbecue left under a cover from September to May is doing two things at once: rendering old fat in the firebox and rusting the burner tubes from the inside out. By the first warm weekend the grates are welded with carbon, the ignition is unreliable, and the flare-ups people blame on the meat are actually a grease tray that has never been emptied.
We strip the grill on site, soak the grates, flame tamers and burner tubes in the heated tank, scrape and degrease the firebox and lid, clear each burner port with a purpose-made tool, wash the grease tray, and rebuild. Gas models are leak-checked at the hose and regulator and lit on every burner before hand-back.
Gas, charcoal, kamado or built-in outdoor kitchen, plus the number of burners.
Grates, tamers and burner tubes come out into the heated non-caustic tank in the van.
Firebox, lid, ash pan and grease tray scraped and degreased; ports cleared individually.
Parts refitted, gas connection leak-checked, all burners lit and the grill left cook-ready.
Two to three hours for a standard gas grill or kettle; longer for a built-in outdoor kitchen with a side burner.

Bookings spike in late April around Hale, Timperley, Sale, Bramhall and Cheadle Hulme as gardens come back into use. Getting a grill stripped before the first bank holiday beats scrubbing grates on the day, and it is when burner corrosion is easiest to catch cheaply.
Nine months under a cover in this climate traps condensation against steel. Burner tubes corrode from the inside and spiders nest in the venturi, which is the usual cause of a grill that lights on one burner only. We check both as standard and tell you honestly if a burner needs replacing rather than cleaning.
Compact grills on apartment terraces around Ancoats, New Islington and Salford Quays are cleaned in place with sheeting down, and parts are carried to the van rather than soaked on a neighbour's decking. Tell us about lift access when you book and we plan the run.
Crews run daily across 10 metropolitan boroughs and 83 outward postcode districts, from Wigan and Leigh in the west to Mossley and Uppermill on the Pennine fringe.
Each local page adds postcode coverage, van parking notes, nearby areas and an appliance checklist you can hand to a letting agent.
A standard three- or four-burner gas grill or a charcoal kettle starts at £65. Six-burner grills, kamados and built-in outdoor kitchens are quoted from £95 because there is far more cast metal to soak.
Yes. The dip tank travels in the van, so the grill never leaves your garden. Parts are carried out, soaked and brought back for the rebuild.
Yes. We use non-caustic, food-safe products, rinse every part thoroughly and dry it before refitting. There is no chemical residue on the cooking surfaces.
Very often. Blocked ports and spider nests in the venturi tubes are the usual cause. We clear both and light-test each burner, and if a tube has corroded through we tell you which part to order rather than charging for a fix that will not hold.
Yes, with a method suited to ceramic: no pressure washing, no harsh chemicals on the porous interior, and the felt gasket protected throughout.
Late March to early May, before the first warm weekend fills the diary, or October as an end-of-season service so the grill is stored clean and dry.
We leak-check the hose and regulator with a soap test and light every burner. Anything beyond that is a Gas Safe job and we will say so plainly.
