About our air conditioning servicing in Crayford
We are asked to service systems for many different reasons: smells at start-up, a unit that struggles on hot days, drips from the indoor unit, or a service that’s overdue. The same full set of checks applies whatever prompted the call. We are often asked to deal with warning lights on the indoor unit and weaker cooling than last year, across ducted systems, air-to-air heat pumps and multi-split systems.
Outdoor units around Crayford tend to be close to gardens and hedges, which can clog the outdoor coil. Every service includes cleaning it.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

What we do, step by step
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. All told, the work takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. Seeing the property in pictures first helps us plan the trip to Crayford.
- We book a time that suits you and confirm the price.
- Before any cleaning, the system is run so we can see how it behaves.
- Then the cleaning: filters, coils, fan and the drain line.
- Electrical and refrigerant checks follow, including a leak check if the rules require one.
- A final test run follows, then you get the service record.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in

Common questions in Crayford
Is Crayford in your area for air conditioning servicing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Crayford is part of that. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Does my air con in Crayford need a yearly service?
For most homes, once a year. 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 I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
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’ll confirm which band applies.
How quickly will you reply?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
What happens if it’s left?
A blocked condensate drain typically gets worse rather than better. What starts as a damp patch under the indoor unit can become water running down the wall, so it’s worth clearing before that happens. An early booking makes the visit to Crayford easier to arrange.
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.

2 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Crayford. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 15 within half a mile of the centre, such as Parish Church of St Paulinus (grade II*).

About 42% of homes in the Crayford area were built between the wars, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures. Let us know where the outdoor unit sits and whether a ladder is needed to reach it.

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated record, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, so you can show what was done and when.

No two properties are the same, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.
