Kintbury: your questions answered
Is Kintbury in your area for air conditioning servicing?
We do: Kintbury falls inside our working area. Just ring 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form with a few details.
Will you come out to Kintbury?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
How often should air conditioning be serviced?
Yearly servicing is the usual starting point and more often for systems in constant use. The manufacturer’s warranty terms may say something about servicing, so it’s worth reading them.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we will tell you what to do first.
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 file every service record.
About our air conditioning servicing in Kintbury
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 you’re dealing with air conditioning that isn’t cooling as well as it did and condensate leaking into the room, we can help.
Around Kintbury, outdoor units sit close to gardens and greenery, where seeds and leaves collect on the coil. A yearly clean keeps the system working well.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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 send the records to whoever needs them.
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
What air conditioning won’t do
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Lost refrigerant, where the fix is a leak repair
- Heat from large windows, roof spaces or equipment beyond the system’s capacity
- Poor original installation, such as drains without a proper fall
If in doubt, ring us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What happens on the day
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before we start, so you can plan around it. For businesses, we can usually work room by room or zone by zone. The work takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. For a place like Kintbury, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- A date is fixed and the service price confirmed in advance.
- Before any cleaning, the system is run so we can see how it behaves.
- Then the cleaning: filters, coils, fan and the drain line.
- We check the wiring, controls and refrigerant circuit, and leak check systems that need it.
- A final test run follows, then you get the service record.
Preparing for the visit
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
