Air conditioning servicing in Finstock, done properly
A service is as much a check-up as a clean. The engineer checks fans, pipe insulation, controls and electrical connections, and tells you about anything that looks like it’s heading for trouble. The work covers multi-split systems, wall-mounted split systems and ceiling cassettes, and common reasons people get in touch are a service that’s overdue and drips or damp patches below an indoor unit.
In a village like Finstock, outdoor units often face hedges, fields or gardens, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs collect on the coil. A yearly service clears them.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

Why it’s worth doing now in Finstock
Drainage problems tend to grow. A small drip can turn into water on the wall, the floor or the furniture, so it’s worth clearing before that happens. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is looked at first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

Finstock: your questions answered
Is Finstock within the area you cover?
Yes. Finstock is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
How often do you service systems in Finstock?
Once a year suits most home systems. Business systems may also need F-gas leak checks, at least every 12 months from 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent.
Do you top up refrigerant during a 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 do not recommend it.
Do you work on all makes?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
How long will the engineer be here for the service?
Expect it to take a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. Access and the number of units decide most of the time, and we’ll give you an idea when we book.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
What air conditioning won’t do
Air conditioning servicing can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It doesn’t solve:
- Rooms that gain heat faster than any unit could cope with
- A unit that was undersized when it was chosen
- Lost refrigerant, where the fix is a leak repair
If you are not sure, just phone us on 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers
- Air-to-air heat pumps
- Ceiling cassettes
- Ducted systems
- Wall-mounted split systems
- VRF systems
- Multi-split systems
After we have gone
A little care keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Clear leaves and debris from around the outdoor unit
- Hold on to every service report
- Shut doors to the room so the system isn’t cooling the whole house
The best time to book the next service is now, while you remember. Spring suits systems used mainly for cooling, and autumn suits those used for heating although we service all year round.
Make sure condensate pipes outside are not crushed, blocked or buried. A pipe that’s been knocked or covered can back up into the indoor unit.

Keeping systems in Finstock running
About 75% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Let us know where the outdoor unit sits and whether a ladder is needed to reach it. The middle of Finstock is part of the Finstock Conservation Area. There are 3 conservation areas within a mile of the centre of Finstock. About 25 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Finstock, Finstock Manor House (grade II*) among them. If a repair turns into a replacement on a listed building or in a conservation area, we check the planning position before changing the outdoor unit.
If you run premises near Finstock station, ask about servicing several units in one visit. Site managers at schools like Finstock Church of England Primary School can have the site’s units serviced during a holiday.

What we do, step by step
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and we take it from there.

- It begins with a few questions about the make, the rooms served and any symptoms.
- 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.
- We test the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing.
- We explain what we found and price any repair before it’s done.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
