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
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit — the reality on the streets around Shadwell Basin in E1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — measured on the walk in from Shadwell (DLR, Overground) rather than assumed from a map.
£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. The Highway red route, cycle-superhighway kerb build-outs and estate lift booking.
Booked in days from April to September; winter service cleans are usually next-day. Shadwell (DLR, Overground) is the nearest station, so a E1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
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. |
