Overview

How it works
Step 1
Gas disconnected at the bottle, then everything removable comes out of the firebox.
Step 2
Cast iron and enamel grates go into the heated tank; ceramics are hand-cleaned dry.
Step 3
Grease scraped and vacuumed, tubes cleared with a brush so every port lights.
Step 4
Reassembled, lit and run up to temperature to check the flame across all burners.
Step 5
Grates oiled and the cover put back on so the first cook after us is clean.
Why choose us
£5m public liability, non-caustic products on any surface in contact with food, and the crew works off sheets so a terrace or lawn is left as found.
One technician with a van-mounted dip tank; two where a barbecue has to be carried through a flat to reach a terrace. Steep hills, narrow Victorian frontages and driveways further out.
Booked in days from April to September; winter service cleans are usually next-day. South Croydon (Southern) is the nearest station, so a CR2 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in CR2, with solid brick on the party and external walls, measured on the walk in from South Croydon (Southern) rather than assumed from a map in CR2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, where 60% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|

| Four to six burner gas BBQ | £120 | 2–3 hrs | More burner tubes and a bigger firebox, plus a side burner and warming rack that most owners have never taken apart. |
| Built-in outdoor kitchen | £165 | 3 hrs+ | Fixed units are cleaned in place around stone or render that cannot take the chemicals used on a free-standing unit. |
| Kettle or ceramic charcoal BBQ | £70 | 1–1.5 hrs | Ash removal, grate dip and a careful clean of ceramic that must not be soaked or scoured. |
| Pizza oven or smoker | £95 | 2 hrs | Soot and creosote removal, then re-seasoning the steel so it does not flash-rust in a damp London winter. |

Scope
I asked Hello Services for a deep clean of the carpets of a house in London we were moving into. Loqman and his colleague arrived on time and were incredibly fast in firstly hoovering all to be worked on and then deep cleaning a total of seven sets of carpets across our first and second… Read in full →

Working in South Croydon
South Croydon CR2 is mainly Victorian and owner-occupier-led: 47% of homes here are flats and 53% are houses, across 3,637 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 30% of South Croydon is privately rented and 10% socially rented, a lot of CR2 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are lath and plaster over timber studs in CR2, with solid brick on the party and external walls, measured on the walk in from South Croydon (Southern) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in South Croydon is chosen on site — the usual failure here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, where 60% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Victorian and Edwardian streets on the hill above the town, with Selsdon beyond. That character decides the practical detail of BBQ cleaning here far more than the borough boundary does. South Croydon is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Steep hills, narrow Victorian frontages and driveways further out. Nearest station is South Croydon (Southern), and one technician with a van-mounted dip tank; two where a barbecue has to be carried through a flat to reach a terrace.
