How we handle air conditioning servicing in Brabourne Lees
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 air-to-air heat pumps, VRF systems and wall-mounted split systems, and common reasons people get in touch are error codes or flashing lights on the indoor unit and F-gas leak checks falling due.
We plan the trip to Brabourne Lees and can service more than one unit in one visit.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Shut doors to the room so the system is not cooling the whole house
- Clear leaves and debris from around the outdoor unit
- Keep the filters clean between visits
After the service, you get a record of what was done, with the checks carried out and anything we’d recommend. File it with the system’s manual and warranty documents so the service history is in one place.
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 manual shows how.

What else we do in Brabourne Lees
The process
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then the work itself, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. The middle part takes longest, which takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Brabourne Lees.
- We start with the basics, such as the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
- On arrival, a quick performance check shows how well it’s working before the clean.
- Dust and grime come off the filters and coils, and the drain is flushed so water runs away properly.
- We check the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing, and carry out a leak check where the rules call for it.
- We leave you a record of the service and explain anything we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
Getting a quote
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, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
Advice
Your questions about air conditioning servicing in Brabourne Lees
Do you cover smaller places like Brabourne Lees?
Yes. Brabourne Lees is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
How often do you service systems in Brabourne Lees?
For most homes, once a year. Some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing, so it’s worth keeping the records.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we’ll agree what happens next.
Is an F-gas leak check a legal requirement for my system?
It depends on the system’s tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e). At 5 to under 50 tCO2e, it’s at least every 12 months; at 50 to under 500 tCO2e, every 6 months. Hermetically sealed systems holding less than 10 tCO2e do not need them.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Which accreditations do you hold?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We’re members of Checkatrade too.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.

Let us know where the outdoor unit sits and whether a ladder is needed to reach it. Brabourne Lees’s centre falls inside a designated conservation area. On the National Heritage List, around 9 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Brabourne Lees; Lodge House (grade II*) is one. Swapping an outdoor unit on a listed building or in a conservation area may need consent, so we’ll flag it if a replacement is needed.
