What a service looks like in Founthill
The Newick (Church Road) Conservation Area lies close to the centre of Founthill, within about a third of a mile. There are 2 conservation areas within a mile of the centre of Founthill. The Manor House, listed at grade II*, is one of roughly 30 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Founthill’s centre. We keep it in mind in case a new outdoor unit is ever needed, as protected buildings can need consent for that. About 80% 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.
Site managers at schools like Newick Church of England Primary School can have the site’s units serviced during a holiday. Most homes book one service a year; busy offices and shops may want more.

Air conditioning servicing in Founthill, done properly
Whether a leak check is required depends on how much refrigerant the system holds and which refrigerant it is. GOV.UK sets the frequency by the system’s tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e): at least every 12 months from 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 to under 500 tCO2e. We tell you which band your system falls into and carry out the checks it needs. Common call-outs are for water dripping from the indoor unit and a service that’s overdue, on ducted systems, ceiling cassettes and VRF systems.
We plan the trip to Founthill and can service more than one unit in one visit.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

How we price air conditioning servicing
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- What electrical work the job needs
- A single visit or a regular plan
Every job is different, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all play a part.
Before you get in touch
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- The address and the type of property
Getting a quote is straightforward. Call or email with a few details and we’ll come back to you the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.
Founthill: your questions answered
Can you do air conditioning servicing in Founthill?
Yes, Founthill is within the area we cover. Just call us on 07833 053749 or send an email with a few details.
Will you come out to Founthill?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Do you do service contracts for air con?
Yes. A contract sets out how often we visit and what each visit covers, at a fixed price agreed with your quote. It suits anyone who would rather not track service dates.
Is a regas part of an air conditioning service?
Refrigerant is only added after the leak that caused the loss has been dealt with. Adding gas without a repair just lets it leak away again and that’s money wasted.
How soon will you get back to me?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Which brands do you work with?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same order: agree the plan on site, put the dust sheets down, carry out the job, check the system and explain it all to you. The visit itself 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 Founthill.
- 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.
- The outdoor unit is cleaned and checked, and debris cleared from around it.
- Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are tested.
- Anything we find is explained, with a fixed price if it needs a repair.
Before we arrive
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records

Related advice
Owner checks or an engineer?
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and phone us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Why it’s worth doing now in Founthill
A service can find a worn part or a loose connection while the system is still running. Left alone, the same fault tends to show itself when you most need the system. A system that is left with a fault, or without a service, typically costs more to run.
Putting several jobs into one visit can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

From one of our customers
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
