How we handle air conditioning servicing in Challock
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, so the system can move air properly and the drain can do its job. The work covers ducted systems, air-to-air heat pumps and multi-split systems, and common reasons people get in touch are a unit showing a fault code and air conditioning that isn’t cooling as well as it did.
In a village like Challock, outdoor units often face hedges, fields or gardens, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs collect on the coil. A yearly service clears them.
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.

Keeping systems in Challock running
The middle of Challock is part of a conservation area. Clockhouse, listed at grade II, is one of roughly 14 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Challock’s centre. If a repair turns into a replacement on a listed building or in a conservation area, we check the planning position before changing the outdoor unit. The last census (2021) found about 65% 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.
If you cannot remember the last service, it’s probably due. Site managers at schools like Challock Primary School can have the site’s units serviced during a holiday.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is, and we can work for either side.
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Major component failures that call for a repair visit
- A system short of gas because of a leak
- Heat gains the system was never sized for
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Challock and across Kent. Let us know who the records should go to.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?

Do you look at the job first?

What accreditations do you have?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, and we are Checkatrade members. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
When is an F-gas leak check required?
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. With leak detection fitted, the interval can be doubled, and we can tell you where your system sits.
How it works
Think of the visit in three stages: diagnose, treat and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then the work itself, and finally we test, record and explain. The middle part takes longest, which takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. If a lane or gateway near Challock is tight for a van, let us know and we’ll plan for it.
- 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.
- Filters are cleaned, coils treated and the drain tray and pipe cleared.
- The wiring, controls and refrigerant performance are checked, plus a leak check on systems large enough to need one.
- We leave you a record of the service and explain anything we found.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
Getting a quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Challock
