Cock Street: your questions answered
How often do you service systems in Cock Street?
Usually once a year for homes, more often for busy business systems. Business systems may also need F-gas leak checks, at least every 12 months from 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent.
Will you come out to Cock Street?
Yes. Cock Street 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.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Is an F-gas leak check a legal requirement for my system?
It depends on the system’s tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e). From 5 to under 50 tCO2e, leak checks are required at least every 12 months, and from 50 to under 500 tCO2e every 6 months. Hermetically sealed systems under 10 tCO2e are exempt.
Is a regas part of an air conditioning service?
A regas is a separate job, done once a leak has been found and fixed. Topping up without finding the leak means the gas escapes again, so we don’t recommend it.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
How we handle air conditioning servicing in Cock Street
Servicing does not mean topping up refrigerant. Refrigerant runs in a sealed circuit and shouldn’t need adding to. If the performance checks point to a leak, we explain the options for finding and fixing it rather than just topping up. We’re often asked to deal with smells coming from the indoor unit and iced-up coils or pipework, across multi-split systems, ducted systems and wall-mounted split systems.
Several units at a home near Cock Street can be serviced in one visit.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

What else we do in Cock Street
What we do, step by step
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. The visit takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. We plan the trip to Cock Street around you.
- When you book, we ask what make it is, how many rooms it serves and whether anything seems wrong.
- 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.
- 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
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
How to get a quote
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.
Advice
Air conditioning servicing around Cock Street
About 82% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Tell us where your outdoor unit is and how to reach it, so we can plan the visit. Cock Street is about 53 miles from central London, well within the area we cover from our base in East Grinstead.
Spring is a good time for a service, before the system is needed for cooling. Clean filters and coils help a system cool better and use less electricity.

Before you call an engineer
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
What air conditioning servicing can’t fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Pipework or drainage that was badly installed in the first place
- Heat gains the system was never sized for
- A system short of gas because of a leak
If in doubt, call us on 07833 053749 and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Why act early in Cock Street
Drainage problems tend to grow. What starts as a damp patch under the indoor unit can become water running down the wall, which is easily avoided by clearing the drain on a service. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
