A freestanding cooker combines a hob, a grill and an oven cavity, and each one soils differently. Boil-over sugars weld to the hotplate, grill pans carbonise from above rather than below, and burner crowns clog at the jets — which is what causes the yellow, lifting flame people mistake for a gas fault. Bookings around St Mary's Church, Cheadle (Grade I) and Bruntwood Park follow the same standard, and neighbouring Cheadle Hulme and Heaton Mersey are covered on the same run.
We strip the removable parts into the heated tank, clear the burner ports, degrease the hotplate and splashback, clean the grill compartment and runners, then rebuild and light-test every burner. Freestanding cookers are pulled forward where the gas hose and flooring allow, so the sides and the gap either side get cleaned too.
