Why these four
They get dirty together, so they are cheaper to clean together
An oven, a cooktop and a rangehood are not three separate problems. They are one problem in three places. Cooking vapour carries fat upward off the burners, the hood catches what it can and passes the rest into the room, and what the hood misses settles back down onto the surfaces underneath. Clean the oven alone and it will look immaculate for a while, sitting under a hood that is quietly still loaded. Clean all three and the result holds, because you have removed the supply rather than the symptom.
The BBQ is in the package for a much simpler reason. It is the appliance Sydney households put off longest, it is the one that most rewards a proper strip-down, and it is already outside the kitchen we are working in. Adding it to a visit that is happening anyway costs a fraction of what a separate trip costs, and that is the whole basis of the price below.
None of that saving comes from doing less. It comes from the visit only happening once. The van is at your door once, the heated tank in it is set up once, and the hour of getting in, laying down protection and packing back up is paid for once instead of four times. That is the honest version of why a package is cheaper, and it is why the discount sits on the lines themselves rather than on a code you have to remember.
What you pay
Why it is a “from” price
$585 is the Full Valet at its smallest: a 600mm oven, a four-burner cooktop, a 600mm rangehood and a three-burner BBQ. A 700-800mm or 900mm oven, a five-burner cooktop, a 900mm hood or a bigger BBQ each price at their own rate, so the total follows what you actually have. Every figure is GST-inclusive and indicative.
You keep $130, and three of the four mornings.
Sizes are yours to change. The package is the combination, not a fixed set of sizes, so swapping the oven for a wide oven (900mm), the cooktop for a five-burner or the rangehood for a 900mm reprices those lines at their own package rate and keeps the discount, so a bigger kitchen still saves more, not less. Go up to a larger BBQ and the oven, cooktop and rangehood all hold their package rates: only the BBQ itself moves, to the rate published for its own size.
* Prices are indicative only and may vary with the size and condition of the appliance, how heavily soiled it is, and your location. Your operator will confirm the final price.
On the day
What this actually involves
Yours is the only job your operator takes that day. The Full Valet books out their whole diary, so nobody is watching a clock or cutting the last appliance short to make a one o'clock across town. It starts in the morning, runs about 6 hours, and it finishes when it is finished.
The oven comes apart first
Racks, trays, side guides and the inner door glass all come out, because the grease a customer can see is the part that matters least. The panes of a door are where the brown film that never wipes off actually lives, and the only way to reach it is to take the door apart. Everything that comes out leaves the kitchen: it is carried out to the van and cleaned in a heated degreasing tank there, not scrubbed in your sink. Only the fixed cavity, roof, base, fan housing and element are done in place, by hand.
The cooktop while the parts soak
Trivets, burner caps and crowns lift off and go out to the tank with the oven parts. The bench around the burners gets the same treatment as the burners themselves, which is the difference between a cooktop that looks clean and one that is clean: the ring of hardened spill just outside the trivet is the part everybody sees and nobody scrubs.
The rangehood, filters out
Filters come out and go straight out to the tank. The fan housing and impeller are degreased by hand, which is the part that carries the smell, and the underside of the canopy is cleaned and polished. A hood is the appliance most likely never to have been touched, so this is often the stage that takes longest on an older kitchen.
The BBQ, outside, at the end
Grills, plates, burners, the hood and the drip tray are stripped and cleaned, and the fat that has run down inside the base is removed rather than scraped flat. The BBQ goes last on purpose. It is the messiest job of the four and it happens outdoors, so nothing from it comes back through a kitchen we have just finished.
What we need from you
Very little, and none of it is cleaning. Your sink and your bench are not part of the job: every removable part goes out to the van and is cleaned in a heated tank there, so nothing is left soaking indoors and no suds come near your kitchen. Empty the oven and the BBQ of anything that lives in them, clear the bench beside the cooktop so there is somewhere to work, and make sure we can reach a power point and a tap. An outdoor tap makes the BBQ stage faster. If the hood is above an island or the BBQ is built into an outdoor kitchen, mention it when you book so we bring the right access gear. Beyond that, let us in and get on with your day. Do not pre-clean anything: it makes no difference to the price and the tank in the van is better at it than a sponge is.
Package only
Kitchen extras, at package prices
These are not part of the Full Valet. They are the appliances worth adding while we are already in your kitchen, at the only rate that makes them worth adding. Booked on their own, each one has to carry a whole call-out. On a package it does not, so you are paying for the work instead of the trip, and the difference is what you see below. The rates apply on any of our packages.
Add any of them in the booking flow and the package rate applies itself, with no code to enter. The one thing worth knowing is that it is tied to the package: if you later take an appliance out and the booking stops being one, the extras return to their normal price.
