About our air conditioning servicing in Caversham
Every hour, an indoor unit draws the room’s air through its filter and over its coil again and again. 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 air conditioning that isn’t cooling as well as it did and smells coming from the indoor unit, we can sort it out.
A service in Caversham typically starts with the filters and the indoor coil, then the drain, the outdoor unit and the electrics, and we finish by testing the temperatures and checking for leaks.
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 Caversham
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures date about 46% of homes across Caversham and its surrounding area to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and Census 2021 figures found about 70% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Wall bracket, ground pad or flat roof: knowing where the outdoor unit is saves time on the day. Roughly a third of a mile or less from central Caversham, you reach the Surley Row Conservation Area. On the National Heritage List, around 25 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Caversham; Old Grove House (grade II*) is one. For most visits that makes no difference. It only comes up when an outdoor unit has to be replaced on a protected building.
Booking before the first hot spell means the system is ready when you need it. If you look after a school such as The Hill Primary School, servicing is easiest in the holidays.

What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: look, put right and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then the work itself, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. For a visit in Caversham, tell us how to reach the outside wall or the outdoor unit.
- First we take the details: brand, model if you have it, how many indoor units and anything that’s been bothering you.
- The engineer switches the system on and checks how it behaves before taking anything apart.
- Filters are cleaned, coils treated and the drain tray and pipe cleared.
- Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are checked, with an F-gas leak check where the system requires one.
- We leave you a record of the service and explain anything we found.
How to prepare
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records

Caversham questions
Can you do air conditioning servicing in Caversham?
Yes, Caversham is within the area we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Can I get a fixed-price quote for air conditioning servicing in Caversham?
Send us photos of the room or the system and a few details about the property. Where photos are not enough, a survey comes first and the fixed-price quote follows.
What do you check on an air conditioning service?
A clean of the parts that collect dirt and a check of the parts that do the work. That means filters, coils and drains, plus electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance, and F-gas leak checks where they apply.
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. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. It’s worth checking before you book and we’ll gladly show you ours.
Is an F-gas leak check a legal requirement for my system?
Under GOV.UK guidance, systems of 5 to under 50 tCO2e need a check at least every 12 months, and 50 to under 500 tCO2e every 6 months. With leak detection fitted, the interval can be doubled and we will confirm which band applies.
Which brands do you work with?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and tell you why.
How we price air conditioning servicing
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
Whatever the property, the quote works the same way: what’s needed, how we reach it, the parts and the labour. Ask for a fixed-price quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork and we will copy in whoever needs it.
Honest limits
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Installation faults that need reworking
- Heat from large windows, roof spaces or equipment beyond the system’s capacity
- A system short of gas because of a leak
Not sure which it is? You can ring 07833 053749 or send an email and we will tell you honestly.
