How we handle air conditioning servicing in Fordham Heath
A service is not the same as a regas. Refrigerant runs in a sealed circuit and shouldn’t need adding to. If the performance checks point to a leak, we explain the options for finding and fixing it rather than just topping up. The work covers ducted systems, ceiling cassettes and air-to-air heat pumps, and the jobs we see most are warning lights on the indoor unit and leak check records that need bringing up to date.
Several units at a home near Fordham Heath can be serviced in one visit.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

Why deal with it now?
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 far easier to stay on schedule. Dealing with it now is typically simpler than a breakdown later.
Homes, offices, shops and public buildings are all priced the same way: what’s needed, how we reach it, the parts and the labour. Call for a fixed-price quote and we will go through it with you.
Why book with us
- Every job looked at before it’s priced
- 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns
- MCS certified heat pump installers
- Electrical work covered by our NICEIC approval

For landlords and property managers
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the paperwork can go to both.
Bigger systems bring extra duties: 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.

Fordham Heath: your questions answered
Is Fordham Heath within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Do you cover Fordham Heath for air conditioning servicing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Fordham Heath is part of that. Just call us on 07833 053749 or send an email with a few details.
Which brands do you work with?
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 tell you why.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
What does an annual air con service cost?
Our annual service costs £95–£150 + VAT. More complex systems are priced on their details, so the cost is fixed before we start.
How often should air conditioning be serviced?
At least once a year is a sensible routine for most systems. Where the system runs most of the year, more frequent servicing can help and it’s worth checking what your manufacturer recommends.
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. The visit takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Fordham Heath.
- A date is fixed and the service price confirmed in advance.
- Before any cleaning, the system is run so we can see how it behaves.
- 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.
- We run the system again and leave you a service record.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
Getting a price
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
