Scope of Works
• carry out a full diagnostic of the oven control system, heating elements, thermostats and fans
• isolate power and gas supplies and perform safe working checks before any intervention
• replace failed components such as heating elements, thermostats, relays, control boards or fans as required
• inspect and renew door seals and gaskets to restore temperature control and efficiency
• test and recalibrate temperature controls and safety cut-outs, record readings and issue a basic service report
• clean excess grease and debris around burners or elements to reduce contamination risks and improve inspection access
• advise on further work if major repairs, replacement parts ordering or specialist fabrications are required

Questions to Ask Your Tradie
• are you certificated for gas work (Gas Safe) and electrical work (if applicable)
• do you have experience with this oven make and model or similar industrial systems
• what is included in the call-out fee and will you charge separately for diagnostics or test reports
• how long will the work take and do you need to order parts that could delay completion
• what safety checks and certifications will you provide on completion (electrical test, gas tightness, calibration)
• do you provide a warranty on parts and labour and how long does it last
How to Avoid Surprises
• clear access to the oven and surrounding areas and remove loose trays or goods
• advise the tradie of fuel type (electric or gas) and any isolations or permit-to-work requirements
• arrange parking close to the service point and provide any site access credentials in advance
• remove heavy grease build-up or schedule a pre-clean if contamination could hinder inspection
• confirm where waste and old parts can be left and whether a disposal charge will apply
• inform the engineer of relevant health and safety rules on site, including PPE, hot work permits or restricted hours
