Why deal with it now?
A musty smell from the system is rarely something that clears on its own. The cure is cleaning where the dirt has built up, rather than masking it. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.

Air conditioning servicing in Aldermaston Soke: the local picture
About 74% 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. Historic England lists about 3 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Aldermaston Soke, including Countess of Huntingdon's Chapel (grade II*). For most visits that makes no difference. It only comes up when an outdoor unit has to be replaced on a protected building.
Schools such as Silchester Church of England Primary School can book servicing for half term or the summer break, when rooms are empty. If you can’t remember the last service, it’s probably due.

FAQs for Aldermaston Soke
Is Aldermaston Soke within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Does my air con in Aldermaston Soke need a yearly service?
For most homes, once a year. Business systems may also need F-gas leak checks, at least every 12 months from 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent.
Do I need a service to keep the manufacturer’s warranty?
That is down to your manufacturer’s terms, which vary. If servicing is required, a regular service record is the evidence, and we can explain what your brand asks for.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
Do you do service contracts for air con?
We do. With a contract, the frequency and the scope of each visit are written down with the price fixed when you accept the quote. It suits anyone who would rather not track service dates.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.

How we price air conditioning servicing
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- How easy the units are to reach
- The condition of any existing system
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
The cost depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, the access and the parts and time the job needs. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Before you get in touch
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
How the visit works
Think of the visit in three stages: diagnose, treat and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then the work itself, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. Work in Aldermaston Soke is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- We book a time that suits you and confirm the price.
- We switch the system on and check it in operation.
- Then the cleaning: filters, coils, fan and the drain line.
- Electrical and refrigerant checks follow, including a leak check if the rules require one.
- It’s run once more to confirm all is well, and the record is left with you.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
Getting a quote
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, with the rate that applies to your job. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it on the quote. To get one, call us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
Related advice
Keeping the system healthy
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep doors and windows closed while the system is cooling
- Do not wait for a small drip to become a leak
- Leave space around the outdoor unit for air to flow
Once we have gone, use the system as normal and see how it performs. If anything seems off, call us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we’ll talk it through.
Check that the condensate pipe outside can still drain. If the outlet is blocked, the water has to go somewhere, and that’s usually back towards the indoor unit.
A customer’s words
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
