About our air conditioning servicing in Hamstead
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 work out where your system sits and check it accordingly. If the problem is systems that haven’t been serviced for a while and water dripping from the indoor unit, we can help.
Around Hamstead, outdoor units sit close to gardens and greenery, where seeds and leaves collect on the coil. A yearly clean keeps the system working well.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

What we do, step by step
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. The visit takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. Seeing the property in pictures first means the trip to Hamstead can be planned properly.
- It begins with a few questions about the make, the rooms served and any symptoms.
- The indoor units are opened up and the filters, coils and drain trays cleaned.
- The outdoor unit gets its own clean, with leaves and debris cleared away.
- Readings are taken on the electrics and refrigerant circuit, and the controls are tried in each mode.
- Anything we find is explained, with a fixed price if it needs a repair.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Read the warranty conditions for your brand
- Clean the filters between services, as the manual describes
- Keep plants, bins and stored items away from the outdoor unit
If we find a fault, we explain it and give you a price to put it right. Nothing extra is done without your say-so, so you stay in control of the cost.
Keep the area around the outdoor unit clear. Leaves, garden waste, bins and climbing plants all restrict the airflow, so clear them back.
Rented and managed buildings
We work for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as homeowners and businesses. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork and we will copy in whoever needs it.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the paperwork can go to both.

FAQs for Hamstead
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Hamstead?
It can, as Hamstead is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. A yearly service that rinses and checks the outdoor coil matters more near the sea.
How often do you service systems in Hamstead?
A yearly visit is right for most households. Some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing, so it’s worth keeping the records.
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.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, on every job. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A failed compressor, fan motor or circuit board, which needs a repair
- A unit that was undersized when it was chosen
- Heat gains the system was never sized for
If in doubt, call us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before you book.

What a service looks like in Hamstead
Hamstead lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Near the sea, rinsing and checking the outdoor coil for corrosion is an important part of every service. About 35% of homes in Hamstead and the neighbourhoods around it were built before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 87% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. A photo of the outdoor unit and its surroundings tells us what access the visit needs. Hamstead’s centre falls inside a designated conservation area. Swapping an outdoor unit on a listed building or in a conservation area may need consent, so we will flag it if a replacement is needed.
Most homes book one service a year; busy offices and shops may want more. Water dripping from the indoor unit often traces back to a drain that needs clearing.
