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
One technician with a van-mounted dip tank; two where a barbecue has to be carried through a flat to reach a terrace. Conservation-area streets, LTN filters and villa basements with external steps.
Booked in days from April to September; winter service cleans are usually next-day. Haggerston (Overground) is the nearest station, so a N1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms — the reality on the streets around De Beauvoir Square in N1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — which is why London Borough of Hackney kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
£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.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Two or three burner gas BBQ | £85 | 1.5 hrs | Grates, flavourizer bars and the firebox are stripped and dipped; the burner tubes are cleared of the blockages that cause uneven heat. |
| 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. |
