How we handle air conditioning servicing in Inkpen Common
Servicing is also a chance to spot faults early. The engineer checks fans, pipe insulation, controls and electrical connections, and tells you about anything that looks like it’s heading for trouble. Common call-outs are for humming, rattling or squealing from the system and weaker cooling than last year, on VRF systems, air-to-air heat pumps and wall-mounted split systems.
For a home in or near Inkpen Common, a service once a year suits most systems, ideally in spring before the warm weather.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

What a service looks like in Inkpen Common
VOA council tax data put about 38% of homes across Inkpen Common and its surrounding area before 1919, and Census 2021 figures found about 79% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. A photo of the outdoor unit and its surroundings tells us what access the visit needs. Historic England lists about 4 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Inkpen Common, including Thornton Cottage (grade II). For most visits that makes no difference. It only comes up when an outdoor unit has to be replaced on a protected building.
Booking before the first hot spell means the system is ready when you need it. For a school like Inkpen Primary School, maintenance visits can be booked out of term.

After we’ve gone
Simple habits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Keep the drain outlet clear
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
- Keep the service records with the warranty paperwork
The best time to book the next service is now, while you remember. Many people book in spring, before the cooling season, or in autumn if they use the system for heating, though any time of year works.
Give the outdoor unit room to breathe. Leaves, garden waste, bins and climbing plants all restrict the airflow, so clear them back.
How it works
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. On site, it takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. For a place like Inkpen Common, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We start with the details of the system and anything you’ve noticed.
- Each indoor unit has its covers lifted so the filters, coil and tray can be cleaned.
- The outdoor unit is cleaned and checked, and debris cleared from around it.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Let us know where we can park and unload

VAT is set out clearly on every quote, with the rate that applies to your job. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. To get one, phone us on 07833 053749 or email us.

FAQs for Inkpen Common
How often do you service systems in Inkpen Common?
A yearly visit is right for most households. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
Is Inkpen Common within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
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.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Can I have a maintenance contract for my air conditioning?
Yes, and the schedule is set around your system. We agree the cost up front and you get a record after every visit.
How much time does an air con service need?
A service takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. If we find something that needs repairing, we explain it and price it before doing anything else, and you can give us a ring on 07833 053749 or send an email to book.
When will I hear back?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.

What affects the quote in Inkpen Common
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- What kind of system it is

One room or a whole building, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the equipment. The price is fixed before we start, and the quote sets out the VAT.
Before you get in touch
Good pictures often save a visit. The most useful are:
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
For a fixed-price quote, call us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and tell us about the property and what you need. A few photos make it quicker. We reply to enquiries the same working day.
What the work involves, system by system
Fans and electrics
Controls and remote handsets are tested in each mode so you know it does what you ask.
Indoor and outdoor coils
Bent or damaged fins restrict the airflow across a coil. We note any damage and tell you if it’s affecting performance.
A customer’s words
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
