BBQ prepped for the season ahead. Cleaned, serviced, gas connections checked, burners cleared. Get from 'winter storage' to 'ready to cook' in one visit.
### Time to Dust Off the BBQ
First sunny weekend arrives and you fancy firing up the BBQ. But it's been **sitting outside all winter** looking sorry for itself. Gas bottle might be dodgy, burners are probably blocked, and you're not entirely sure it'll even light.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Service your BBQ at the start of the season, not when you've got guests arriving in an hour. Nothing worse than discovering it won't light when you've got burgers defrosting.

What to Expect
### Step 1: Initial Check I'll have a look at the overall condition, check what type of BBQ it is (gas/charcoal), and see what needs doing. Give you an idea of what state it's in. ### Step 2: Clean & Service Clear out all the debris, clean accessible parts, check gas connections (soapy water leak test), make sure burners are clear, test the ignition. Fix any minor issues I can sort on the spot. ### Step 3: Test & Report Light it up and make sure everything's working. Let you know if anything needs replacing or if there's anything to watch. Leave it ready to use.

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Need parts?** If your regulator, hose, or ignition needs replacing, I can pick up parts from the local supplier and fit them the same day (depending on stock). Usually quicker than you sourcing them yourself. **Gas bottle empty?** I can't fill gas bottles, but I can tell you if it's empty or if the problem's with the BBQ itself. Most garages and garden centers do gas bottle exchange. **Charcoal BBQ?** These are simpler - no gas to check, but I can still clean it up, check the vents work, make sure the grate's not rusted through, and get it ready for use. **Exeter's coastal weather** is tough on BBQs. If yours lives outside year-round, check for rust on the burners and frame. Coastal salt air corrodes metal quickly, so covers are worth having.
Frequently Asked Questions about BBQ season setup in Teignmouth
What does BBQ season setup include?
I'll clean off the winter grime, clear out any debris or spider webs from the burners, check gas connections for leaks, test the ignition works, and make sure everything's functioning. Basically, get it from 'been sat outside all winter' to 'ready to cook on tonight.'
How long has it been since I should service my BBQ?
Ideally, give it a proper clean and check at the start of each season. If it's been sitting outside all winter, burners get blocked with debris, gas connections can perish, and you want to know it's safe before you fire it up.
Will you deep clean the BBQ or just service it?
This is a service and safety check, not a deep clean. I'll clear debris, check it's working safely, and get it usable. If you want the grates and inside properly deep cleaned, that's a separate job (and honestly, BBQs are meant to be a bit grimy inside - adds flavour!).
Can you tell me if parts need replacing?
Yes - I'll check the condition of the burners, ignition, regulator, and hose. If anything's corroded or past it, I'll let you know what needs replacing. You can source the parts yourself or I can pick them up and fit them.
My BBQ hasn't been used for two years - is that a problem?
Not necessarily, but it'll need a more thorough check. Gas connections definitely need inspecting, burners will likely be blocked, and we'll need to test everything carefully. Totally doable, just might take a bit longer.
