Air con servicing in Foster Street
Need air conditioning servicing in Foster Street? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around you, then sign it off with written records.
- A musty or damp smell when the unit starts
- Error codes or flashing lights on the indoor unit
- New noises from the indoor or outdoor unit
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. The work itself takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Foster Street.
- We book a time that suits you and confirm the price.
- The engineer runs the system and checks how it’s performing.
- Then the cleaning: filters, coils, fan and the drain line.
- The electrics, controls and refrigerant performance are checked, with a leak check where required.
- A final test run follows, then you get the service record.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Keep pets and children away from the work area

Managing agents and facilities teams in Foster Street
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit is written up, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
Signs you need air conditioning servicing in Foster Street
Outdoor units sit in the weather all year. Leaves, grime and plant growth gather on the fins and around the unit and that restricts the airflow it relies on.
It’s time to call us if you are dealing with:
- A unit showing a fault code
- Air conditioning that isn’t cooling as well as it did
- Water dripping from the indoor unit
Site managers at schools like Henry Moore Primary School can have the site’s units serviced during a holiday.
Before you book anyone
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
- If the quote is based on a survey, pictures or a diagnosis
- Proof of F-Gas company certification

FAQs for Foster Street
Is Foster Street in your area for air conditioning servicing?
Yes, Foster Street is within the area we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
How often should air conditioning in Foster Street be serviced?
Once a year suits most home systems. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Will servicing keep my manufacturer’s warranty valid?
The answer is in your manufacturer’s warranty conditions. If servicing is required, a regular service record is the evidence and we’ll help you check what applies.
How long does an air conditioning service take?
Expect it to take anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. Access and the number of units decide most of the time, and we will give you an idea when we book.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. We always look before we price, on a survey, or from your photos and details where the job is simple. A fixed-price quote follows.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. Ask to see proof before you book anyone and we will gladly show you ours.
When something else is needed
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:

- A refrigerant leak, which needs finding and repairing, not topping up
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we will tell you honestly before booking.
