Your questions about air conditioning servicing in Cotman's Ash
Will you come out to Cotman's Ash?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Can you do air conditioning servicing in Cotman's Ash?
Yes, Cotman's Ash is within the area we cover. To start, phone 07833 053749 or drop us a line with a few photos.
Do you do service contracts for air con?
We do. With a contract, the frequency and the scope of each visit are written down, at a fixed price agreed with your quote. It takes the scheduling off your plate.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for breakdowns that can’t wait. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
Which brands do you work with?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
How long will the engineer be here for the service?
A typical service takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. Ducted units in ceiling voids and outdoor units in awkward places can add time, and we will tell you in advance.
How we handle air conditioning servicing in Cotman's Ash
For homes with one or two units and businesses with many, we can set up a maintenance contract. We agree the visits, what each one covers and the price with your quote, and the servicing happens on schedule. Typical jobs include no service record for the last year or more and frost or ice on the refrigerant pipes, across ceiling cassettes, ducted systems and air-to-air heat pumps.
For a home in or near Cotman's Ash, a service once a year suits most systems, best done before summer.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out 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.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system is mostly common sense. Our tips:
- Clean the filters between services, as the manual describes
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
- Shut doors to the room so the system is not cooling the whole house
Once we’ve gone, use the system as normal and see how it performs. If anything seems off, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we’ll talk it through.
Act on the early signs. A new noise, a faint smell or a drip is easier to deal with early than once the system has stopped.
Do you need air conditioning servicing in Cotman's Ash?
Condensate has to drain away from every indoor unit. Sludge and debris can block the tray, the pipe or the pump, and the water then has nowhere to go but out of the unit.
What we’re most often called about:
- Systems that need a 6 or 12-monthly leak check
- A service that’s overdue
- Weaker cooling than last year
A service once a year suits most home systems, and some business systems need more.

Keeping systems in Cotman's Ash running

Wall bracket, ground pad or flat roof: knowing where the outdoor unit is saves time on the day. The middle of Cotman's Ash is part of a conservation area. Day-to-day work on an existing system isn’t affected; a replacement outdoor unit on a protected building might be.

How the job changes from property to property
Indoor and outdoor coils
Room air passes over the indoor coil, which takes heat out or puts it in. We clean it so air can pass through the fins and heat can pass in and out and any damage is noted.
Condensate drains and pumps
When the system cools, every indoor unit makes water. The tray is cleaned and the pipe flushed through so the water has a clear path out.
How it works
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. The visit takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. For a village like Cotman's Ash, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We start with the basics, such as the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
- We run the system first and see how it’s performing.
- We clean the filters and coils and make sure the condensate drains away.
- Temperatures and pressures tell us how the refrigerant circuit is doing, alongside checks on the wiring and controls.
- We leave you a record of the service and explain anything we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
Getting a price
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
