Draycott air conditioning servicing
F-Gas certified and NICEIC approved, we cover Draycott for annual servicing and F-Gas leak checks for domestic and commercial air conditioning. A fixed price before work begins, and a 24/7 emergency line.
- An unpleasant odour when the system runs
- Systems that need a 6 or 12-monthly leak check
- Noisy fans or rattling from the outdoor unit
After we’ve gone
Simple habits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Make sure the condensate outlet can drain
- Read the warranty conditions for your brand
- Clean the filters between services, as the manual describes
A maintenance contract takes the scheduling off your hands. We agree the visits and the cost up front, and we get in touch when the next one is due.
Act on the early signs. A new noise, a faint smell or a drip is easier to deal with early than after a breakdown.
Air conditioning servicing in Draycott, done properly
Whether a leak check is required depends on how much refrigerant the system holds and which refrigerant it is. GOV.UK sets the frequency by the system’s tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e): at least every 12 months from 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 to under 500 tCO2e. We work out where your system sits and check it accordingly. If you are dealing with error codes or flashing lights on the indoor unit and water dripping from the indoor unit, we can help.
For a home in or near Draycott, a service once a year suits most systems, ideally in spring before the warm weather.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

What the work involves, system by system
Wall-mounted, ducted and cassette units
Wall-mounted units are the most common indoor unit in homes. Filters and covers come off easily for cleaning and the drain is cleared at the same visit.
Indoor and outdoor coils
Room air passes over the indoor coil, which takes heat out or puts it in. Cleaning removes the dust that coats the fins, and we look for damage or corrosion.
How the visit works
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 attention later is pointed out. All told, the work takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Draycott.
- We start with the details of the system and anything you’ve noticed.
- 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.
- Readings are taken on the electrics and refrigerant circuit, and the controls are tried in each mode.
- Anything we find is explained, with a fixed price if it needs a repair.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
Getting a price
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. Once we’ve looked at the job, from pictures or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To get going, call 07833 053749.

Common questions in Draycott
How often do you service systems in Draycott?
Normally 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.
Is Draycott in your area for air conditioning servicing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Draycott is part of that. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and we hold it.
Can I have a maintenance contract for my air conditioning?
Yes, with visits planned to suit how hard the system works. The price is fixed with your quote, and each visit is recorded.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
What do you check on an air conditioning service?
A full clean and check of the system. Filters, coils and drains are cleaned, and the electrics, controls and refrigerant circuit checked, and F-gas leak checks where they apply.

What else we do in Draycott
What we’re called out for in Draycott
The indoor coil is cold and wet when the system is cooling. Dust sticks to a wet surface, and over time the coil and drain tray can get dirty enough to smell.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- A unit showing a fault code
- Air conditioning that is not cooling as well as it did
- An unpleasant odour when the system runs
For a school like Ickford School, maintenance visits can be booked out of term.
What your quote should include
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications

“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
