How we handle air conditioning servicing in Chafford Hundred
A manufacturer’s warranty can come with conditions, and regular servicing may be one of them. Each brand sets its own terms, and we can explain what yours says. You get a record of each service to keep with the warranty paperwork. Typical jobs include a system that struggles to cool on warm days and an unpleasant odour when the system runs, on wall-mounted split systems, VRF systems and ceiling cassettes.
A yearly service suits most systems around Chafford Hundred, and some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Chafford Hundred
Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too across Thurrock. Larger buildings can be done in stages to keep disruption down.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated record, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Check the condensate pipe outside is not blocked or crushed
- Shut doors to the room so the system isn’t cooling the whole house
- Clean the filters between services, as the manual describes
If you’d rather not keep track of service dates yourself, ask about a maintenance contract. The visits and the price are fixed with your quote, and we get in touch when the next one is due.
Don’t ignore small changes. A new noise, a faint smell or a drip is easier to deal with early than after a breakdown.

Questions from Chafford Hundred
Is Chafford Hundred within the area you cover?
Yes. Chafford Hundred is within the area we cover across London and the South East. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
How often do you service systems in Chafford Hundred?
Once a year suits most home 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.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
What do you check on an air conditioning service?
The service covers the indoor units and the outdoor unit: filters, coils, drains and fans, then the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing. You get a record of the visit.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.

Different systems, different jobs
Refrigerant performance and leak checks
To find tCO2e, multiply the kg of refrigerant by its GWP and divide by 1,000. So 3 kg of R32 is roughly 2.0 tCO2e, and the same amount of R410A is roughly 6.3 tCO2e. We check the label on your system and tell you where it sits.
Wall-mounted, ducted and cassette units
With a ducted system, the unit is hidden above the ceiling. We need access to the unit, its filters and its drain so it helps to know where the access is before we arrive.
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. On site, the work takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. Let us know how to reach the outside wall or outdoor unit at your property near Chafford Hundred.
- It begins with a few questions about the make, the rooms served and any symptoms.
- Inside, the filters, coil and drain tray of each indoor unit are cleaned.
- Outside, the coil is cleaned, the fan checked and the area cleared.
- Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are tested.
- Anything we find is explained, with a fixed price if it needs a repair.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
