What the work involves, system by system
Maintenance contracts
We tailor the schedule to how hard the system works so it fits your site.
Indoor and outdoor coils
The indoor coil is where the air is cooled or warmed. We clean it so air can pass through the fins and heat can pass in and out, and we look for damage or corrosion.
About our air conditioning servicing in Aldborough Hatch
Whether a leak check is required depends on how much refrigerant the system holds and which refrigerant it is. GOV.UK sets the frequency by the system’s tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e): at least every 12 months from 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 to under 500 tCO2e. We tell you which band your system falls into and carry out the checks it needs. The work covers ceiling cassettes, ducted systems and multi-split systems, and people most often call us about systems that haven’t been serviced for a while and water dripping from the indoor unit.
In a London area like Aldborough Hatch, many systems run hard in summer and for heating in winter, so a yearly service keeps them efficient. Outdoor units on balconies and roofs pick up city dust and debris, and a clean coil cools better.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Air conditioning servicing around Aldborough Hatch
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 46% of homes in Aldborough Hatch and the neighbourhoods around it date from 1919 to 1939, and the last census (2021) found about 37% of households in terraced houses. With a terrace, access to the rear for the outdoor unit is the main thing to tell us. In London, a yearly clean of the outdoor coil makes a real difference to how well a system cools.
Spring is a good time for a service, before the system is needed for cooling. Site managers at schools like William Torbitt Primary School can have the site’s units serviced during a holiday.

Common questions in Aldborough Hatch
How often should air conditioning in Aldborough Hatch be serviced?
Typically once a year for homes, more often for busy business systems. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
Can you do air conditioning servicing in Aldborough Hatch?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Aldborough Hatch is part of that. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
How long does an air conditioning service take?
It takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. The number of indoor units and how easy they are to reach make the biggest difference, and we’ll give you an idea when we book.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we’ll agree what happens next.
When is an F-gas leak check required?
The rules are based on tCO2e, which comes from the refrigerant charge and its GWP. From 5 to under 50 tCO2e, leak checks are required at least every 12 months, and from 50 to under 500 tCO2e every 6 months. Hermetically sealed systems under 10 tCO2e are exempt.

The process
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. So on the day, you do not need a separate electrician for the electrical side. On site, it takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. Managed buildings in London often need contractors booked in, and we can deal with the agent for a job in Aldborough Hatch.
- You tell us the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
- Inside, the filters, coil and drain tray of each indoor unit are cleaned.
- The outdoor unit is cleaned and checked, and debris cleared from around it.
- Readings are taken on the electrics and refrigerant circuit, and the controls are tried in each mode.
- We explain what we found and price any repair before it’s done.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Clear access to the fuse board

Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the drain outlet clear
- Don’t wait for a small drip to become a leak
- Rinse the indoor unit filters every few weeks when the system is in heavy use
After the service, you get a record of what was done, listing the work, the checks and any recommendations. File it with the system’s manual and warranty documents so you have the whole history together.
Give the outdoor unit room to breathe. Leaves, garden waste, bins and climbing plants all restrict the airflow, so clear them back.
Why it’s worth doing now in Aldborough Hatch
Drainage problems tend to grow. A small drip can turn into water on the wall, the floor or the furniture, which is easily avoided by clearing the drain on a service. Hot weather is when everyone in London wants air conditioning, so it’s easier to plan the work in Aldborough Hatch early.
