Air conditioning servicing in Foots Cray, Greater London

- Iced-up coils or pipework
Owner checks or an engineer?
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Write down what you notice: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
About our air conditioning servicing in Foots Cray
An annual service is £95–£150 + VAT, and we confirm the figure before we book you in. Multi-split, ducted and commercial systems are priced once we know what’s there. Either way, you know the cost before the engineer arrives. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, air-to-air heat pumps and multi-split systems, and common reasons people get in touch are F-gas leak checks falling due and condensate leaking into the room.
For a flat or office in Foots Cray, tell us where the outdoor unit is and how we reach it, so let us know how to get to it. If the building has a managing agent, we can book in with them.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

About 11 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Foots Cray, Frognal House (grade II*) among them. Swapping an outdoor unit on a listed building or in a conservation area may need consent, so we will flag it if a replacement is needed. VOA council tax data date about 51% of homes across Foots Cray and its surrounding area to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972. A photo of the outdoor unit and its surroundings tells us what access the visit needs. In London, a yearly clean of the outdoor coil makes a real difference to how well a system cools.
Most homes book one service a year; busy offices and shops may want more. Site managers at schools like Orchard Primary School can have the site’s units serviced during a holiday.

Foots Cray: your questions answered
Do you cover Foots Cray for air conditioning servicing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Foots Cray is part of that. Just phone us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form with a few details.
What’s the best way to get a price for air conditioning servicing in Foots Cray?
Start with a short message: the address, what you need and a picture or two. Straightforward work can be priced remotely. Bigger jobs get a survey and a written fixed price.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Not the refrigerant work. 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.
How long will you be on site?
Your quote will say how long we expect to be there. In most cases, it takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system.
What do you check on an air conditioning service?
The service covers the indoor units and the outdoor unit: filters, coils, drains and fans, then the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing. You get a record of the visit.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, always. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
When will I hear back?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.

Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Parts that have failed and need replacing
