Questions to Ask Your Trade

1. Do you use fume‑free or eco products and can you work on self‑clean enamel?

2. Is your price fixed per appliance or hourly after the first hour?

3. Will you clean the hob/hood during the same visit and what is the extra?

4. Are you insured for accidental damage to glass doors and seals?

5. How long before I can use the oven again safely?

6. Can you provide recent customer reviews or photos of similar cleans?
   

How to Avoid Surprises

• Clear access to the oven and nearby sink for soaking trays.

• Reserve a parking space close to the kitchen for the technician’s van.

• Advise of any loose knobs or cracked glass that need gentle handling.

• Confirm power socket availability for dip‑tank or steam generators.

• Keep children/pets away from the work zone and hot rinse water.
