About our air conditioning servicing in Drayton
Air conditioning pulls room air through a filter and across a cold coil many times an hour. Whatever is in the air, from dust to pet hair, collects on the filter and coil. A service clears it away, so the system can move air properly and the drain can do its job. The work covers VRF systems, ceiling cassettes and multi-split systems, and people most often call us about an unpleasant odour when the system runs and air conditioning that isn’t cooling as well as it did.
For most homes near Drayton, a service once a year keeps the system efficient and the filters clean, and some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing.
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 anything chargeable is done.

Why act early in Drayton
For most systems at or over 5 tCO2e, leak checks are a legal requirement, not a choice. Missing one leaves you without the check and the record, and it’s simpler to keep to the schedule. A system that is left with a fault, or without a service, usually costs more to run.
No two properties are the same, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all play a part.

Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by air conditioning servicing, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- A unit that was undersized when it was chosen
- Poor original installation, such as drains without a proper fall
- A failed compressor, fan motor or circuit board, which needs a repair
If in doubt, call us on 07833 053749 and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Rented and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings in Drayton and across Oxfordshire. Larger buildings can be done in stages around the people who use them.
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.

Servicing in Drayton: local notes
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 36% of homes across Drayton and its surrounding area were built in 2000 or later, and about 77% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. If the outdoor unit is high up or behind a locked gate, mention it when you book. Drayton’s centre falls inside the Drayton Conservation Area. Historic England lists about 28 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Drayton, including Church of Saint Peter (grade II*). Should a unit ever need replacing on a listed building or in a conservation area, ask us about consent first.
Site managers at schools like Drayton Community Primary School can have the site’s units serviced during a holiday. Booking before the first hot spell means the system is ready when you need it.

Drayton questions
How often should air conditioning in Drayton be serviced?
Once a year suits most home systems. Larger systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent or more also need a leak check at least every 12 months under the F-gas rules.
Is Drayton in your area for air conditioning servicing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Drayton is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form with a few details.
How long does an air conditioning service take?
It takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. The number of indoor units and how easy they are to reach make the biggest difference, and we’ll give you an idea when we book.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Is an F-gas leak check a legal requirement for my system?
It depends on the system’s tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e). At 5 to under 50 tCO2e, it’s at least every 12 months; at 50 to under 500 tCO2e, every 6 months. Hermetically sealed systems under 10 tCO2e are exempt.
Do I need a service to keep the manufacturer’s warranty?
Each manufacturer sets its own terms. Some may have servicing conditions attached so it’s worth reading yours. We can explain the terms, and each visit is recorded.
Do you offer air conditioning maintenance contracts?
We do, for one unit at home or many across a site. We fix the schedule, the scope and the cost with your quote, so servicing and any required leak checks stay on schedule.
How it works
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. The visit takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. Send pictures of the space and the outside wall, and we can plan the work near Drayton.
- First we take the details: brand, model if you have it, how many indoor units and anything that’s been bothering you.
- The engineer switches the system on and checks how it behaves before taking anything apart.
- 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
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
How to get a quote
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

“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.”
