Air conditioning servicing in Basted, done properly
Servicing covers both halves of the system: the indoor units in the rooms and the outdoor unit outside. Filters and coils are cleaned, the drain is cleared, and the electrics, controls and refrigerant performance are all checked. We service systems in Basted and across Kent, for most leading brands. Typical jobs include condensate leaking into the room and humming, rattling or squealing from the system, across ducted systems, VRF systems and multi-split systems.
Most systems around Basted need servicing once a year, ideally in spring before the warm weather.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

What happens on the day
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. The visit takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. Visits to Basted are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start with the details of the system and anything you’ve noticed.
- Inside, the filters, coil and drain tray of each indoor unit are cleaned.
- The outdoor unit gets its own clean, with leaves and debris cleared away.
- We test the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing.
- We explain what we found and price any repair before it’s done.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in

FAQs for Basted
Will you come out to Basted?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Does my air con in Basted 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.
How long will the engineer be here for the service?
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 so we’ll confirm the time when we book.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Do you offer air conditioning maintenance contracts?
Yes, for homes and businesses. The visits, what each covers and the price are agreed with your quote and the servicing happens on time.
Is a regas part of an air conditioning service?
We check refrigerant performance on every service, but adding gas is separate work. If it’s low, a leak repair comes first and the regas follows, priced before we start.
What’s included in an air conditioning service?
A clean of the parts that collect dirt and a check of the parts that do the work. Filters, coils and drains are cleaned, and the electrics, controls and refrigerant circuit checked with leak checks where the rules require them.
How we price air conditioning servicing
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- The condition of any existing system
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed

Air conditioning servicing in Basted: the local picture
The last census (2021) found about 73% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Let us know where the outdoor unit sits and whether a ladder is needed to reach it. Historic England lists about 7 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Basted, including Clakkers Hall (grade II*). That only matters for replacements, where a new outdoor unit on a protected building can need consent.
Businesses close to Borough Green & Wrotham station can book an early or late slot so the service does not get in the way of trade. For a school like Borough Green Primary School, maintenance visits can be booked out of term.
Basted is about 5 miles east of Sevenoaks, in Kent. Anywhere in TN15, our engineers can take on air conditioning servicing. 922 places in Kent are on our list, large and small. For properties nearby, see our Bromley page (15 miles or so).
The closest recent job we can point to from Basted was on Station Road, Orpington (BR6), about 11 miles north-west: installing three Daikin cassette units in the main office area and a wall-mounted unit in the client meeting room.
Our working area takes in TN15 in full. Whether you’re on Basted Mill and Plough Hill or anywhere close by, we can help. Close to Basted, our area also takes in Claygate Cross (1 mile south-east), Crouch (1 mile south-east), Borough Green (1 mile north), Platt (1 mile north-east) and Plaxtol (1 mile south).

Local landmarks in Basted
We fit and service air conditioning in homes and premises around The Plough Public House, Wrotham School and Ivy Hatch Nature Reserve and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Borough Green & Wrotham station, roughly 0.9 miles north of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Ightham Court (1.3 miles north-west) and Sevenoaks Hospital (4.8 miles west).
Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Report drips, smells or noises early
- Keep the drain outlet clear
- Diary the next service before this one is forgotten
If you’d rather not keep track of service dates yourself, ask about a maintenance contract. We agree the visits and the cost up front, and we get in touch when the next one is due.
The single most useful thing you can do is keep the filters clean. Most indoor units have filters you can slide out and rinse and the user manual explains how often.
What air conditioning won’t do
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Heat gains the system was never sized for
- Major component failures that call for a repair visit
- A system short of gas because of a leak
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Multi-split systems
- VRF systems
- Ducted systems
- Wall-mounted split systems
- Air-to-air heat pumps
- Ceiling cassettes
What a customer said
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
