For landlords and property managers
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Every visit is written up, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
For anyone managing more than one building, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Each property gets its own records, so each one has its own history.

East Mersea: your questions answered
Is East Mersea within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Does sea air affect air conditioning in East Mersea?
It can. East Mersea is within about 2 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. We look for corroded coils, fixings and connections on coastal repairs.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. Ask to see proof before you book anyone, and we’re happy to show ours.
Why does my air conditioning run but not cool?
It could be a dirty filter, the wrong settings, a blocked outdoor unit, a sensor or board fault, or a refrigerant leak. Check the filter and the settings first, and if that does not fix it, ring us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
What does the error code on my air conditioning mean?
An error code points us in the right direction, but it is not the whole answer. Write down the code and turn the unit off if it has stopped, then ring 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
What can I do with an old R22 system?
Servicing with new R22 is not allowed, because it depletes the ozone layer. A fault that doesn’t involve the refrigerant may still be repairable, depending on parts, but a leak normally makes replacement the sensible route. We’ll set out the options and quote for a replacement where it makes sense.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
Air conditioning repair in East Mersea: the local picture
The coast is only about 2 miles from East Mersea. Salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor coils and connections, which is one of the things we check on a repair. About 71% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Let us know where the outdoor unit sits and whether a ladder is needed to reach it. On the National Heritage List, around 7 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of East Mersea; Parish Church of St Edmund King and Martyr (grade I) is one. We keep it in mind in case a new outdoor unit is ever needed, as protected buildings can need consent for that.
Dirty filters and blocked drains cause more faults than people expect.

What we are called out for in East Mersea
Leaks tend to start where pipes are joined: flare connections, brazed joints and valves, or pipework damaged or rubbed through by vibration. Corrosion on coils can also cause leaks over time and many leaks are slow enough to go unnoticed for a while.
What we’re most often called about:
- Ice on the pipework or the coil
- An error code or flashing light on the unit
- New noises from the system
The rating label on the unit gives the model number, which helps us bring the right parts.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price is fixed or an estimate
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
- What the manufacturer’s warranty covers and for how long
How the visit works
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. All told, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. Somewhere like East Mersea, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- Diagnosis comes first: codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant.
- Prescribe: tell you the cause and the fixed cost of the cure.
- Where a repair doesn’t make sense, you will hear it from us, with the alternatives.
- Treat: carry out the repair, sealing any leak before refrigerant goes back in.
- Sign off: prove it works and record the visit.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
