About our air conditioning servicing in Friar's Wash
For homes with one or two units and businesses with many, we can set up a maintenance contract. We agree the visits, what each one covers and the price with your quote, so the system is looked after on a regular schedule. If the problem is humming, rattling or squealing from the system and air conditioning that isn’t cooling as well as it did, we can sort it out.
Several units at a home near Friar's Wash can be serviced 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 the visit works
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Friar's Wash.
- First, we agree a time and confirm the cost of the service.
- 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.
- It’s run once more to confirm all is well, and the record is left with you.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow

Common questions in Friar's Wash
Can you do air conditioning servicing in Friar's Wash?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Friar's Wash is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or use the quote form with a few details.
How often should air conditioning in Friar's Wash be serviced?
Typically once a year for homes, more often for busy business systems. Business systems may also need F-gas leak checks, at least every 12 months from 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent.
How soon will you get back to me?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For simple jobs, photos and a few details can be enough, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Does the manufacturer’s warranty require regular servicing?
The warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms. Check your brand’s conditions, which may mention servicing, and keep each service record with the warranty paperwork.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
What we are called out for in Friar's Wash
Filters clog gradually, a little more every day the system runs. As they fill, less air gets through and the unit has to work harder to reach the set temperature.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Iced-up coils or pipework
- Drips or damp patches below an indoor unit
- A unit showing a fault code
If you look after a school such as Flamstead Village School, servicing is easiest in the holidays.

Rented and managed buildings
Whether it’s one property or many, you get the same standard: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We are happy to deal with either side and send the records to whoever needs them.
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.”
