Air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Catford
Air conditioning pulls room air through a filter and across a cold coil many times an hour. Dust, fluff and anything else in the air ends up on those parts. Servicing removes it, letting air pass through the unit properly and the condensate drain away. If you are dealing with new noises from the indoor or outdoor unit and systems that haven’t been serviced for a while, we can sort it out.
For a flat or office in Catford, tell us where the outdoor unit is and how we reach it, as that affects how long the service takes. If the building has a managing agent, we can book in with them.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

Your questions about air conditioning servicing in Catford
How often should air conditioning in Catford be serviced?
Typically once a year for homes, more often for busy business systems. Larger systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent or more also need a leak check at least every 12 months under the F-gas rules.
Can you do air conditioning servicing in Catford?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Catford is part of that. To start, phone 07833 053749 with a few pictures.
Does my air conditioning need an F-gas leak check?
The GOV.UK rules set leak checks at least every 12 months for 5 to under 50 tCO2e and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e. Fitting leak detection lets you double the interval and we will confirm which band applies.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
How long does an air conditioning service take?
A typical service takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. Units that are hard to reach can take longer and we will let you know before the visit.
Which brands do you work with?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
Do you do service contracts for air con?
Yes. A contract sets out how often we visit and what each visit covers with the price fixed when you accept the quote. It suits anyone who would rather not track service dates.

Let and managed properties
If you look after several properties, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Every address has its own paperwork, so the files stay tidy.
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the paperwork can go to both.
What affects the quote in Catford
Your quote is based on your property. We take into account:
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- What state the existing equipment is in
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but your price depends on the job in front of us. For a fixed-price quote, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or use the quote form, and we will talk you through it.
Before you get in touch
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. After a look at the job, by pictures or a survey, the price is fixed. To start, ring 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
