Air con servicing in Fordcombe
Air conditioning servicing in and around Fordcombe, from the first look to the final check with the price fixed before work begins.
- Drips or damp patches below an indoor unit
- Frost or ice on the refrigerant pipes
- A musty or damp smell when the unit starts
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
- Hold on to every service report
- Make sure the condensate outlet can drain
Put the next service in the diary right away. Spring suits systems used mainly for cooling, and autumn suits those used for heating, though any time of year works.
Book a service at least once a year, and more often if the system works hard or the rules require it.
How we handle air conditioning servicing in Fordcombe
For an annual service, the price is £95–£150 + VAT, confirmed before the visit is booked. Larger systems with several indoor units, ducted units or commercial plant are priced on their details. Either way, you know the cost before the engineer arrives. Typical jobs include smells coming from the indoor unit and systems that need a 6 or 12-monthly leak check, across multi-split systems, ceiling cassettes and air-to-air heat pumps.
We plan the trip to Fordcombe and can service more than one unit in one visit, which keeps it simple.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

What else we do in Fordcombe
The process
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. A few photos help us make the most of a visit to Fordcombe.
- A date is fixed and the service price confirmed in advance.
- We switch the system on and check it in operation.
- We clean the filters, coils and fans and clear the condensate drain.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your pictures and details. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.

Common problems we fix in Fordcombe
A slow leak can go unnoticed for a long time. Performance drops slowly and only becomes obvious when the weather is at its extreme.
These are the situations we see most often:
- Systems that haven’t been serviced for a while
- A unit showing a fault code
- An unpleasant odour when the system runs
If you can’t remember the last service, it’s probably due.

Fordcombe questions
Can you do air conditioning servicing in Fordcombe?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Fordcombe is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or send an email with a few details.
Will you come out to Fordcombe?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
How regularly should I have my air conditioning serviced?
We recommend an annual service and more often for systems in constant use. Check your manufacturer’s warranty conditions too, as they may set out servicing requirements.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
How much time does an air con service need?
As a guide, it takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. Units that are hard to reach can take longer and we will let you know before the visit.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for problems that cannot wait for a planned visit. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Keeping systems in Fordcombe running
About 80% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). A photo of the outdoor unit and its surroundings tells us what access the visit needs. The middle of Fordcombe is part of a conservation area. In the mile around Fordcombe’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 12 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of St Peter (grade II). That only matters for replacements, where a new outdoor unit on a protected building can need consent.
Schools such as Fordcombe Church of England Primary School can book servicing for half term or the summer break, when rooms are empty.
