About our air conditioning servicing in Laughton
We’re asked to service systems for many different reasons: smells at start-up, a unit that struggles on hot days, drips from the indoor unit, or a service that is overdue. Whatever the reason, the visit follows the same thorough checks. If the problem is iced-up coils or pipework and humming, rattling or squealing from the system, we can sort it out.
We plan the trip to Laughton and can service more than one unit in one visit.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: 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. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

Let and managed properties
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to, and we will keep everyone informed.
Bigger systems bring extra duties: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
After we have gone
Looking after it is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Hold on to every service report
- Make sure the condensate outlet can drain
- Report drips, smells or noises early
For systems that need them, the leak check and its result go on record and the next one falls due within 6 or 12 months, depending on the system. We can book it in ahead of time.
An annual service is the simplest routine to keep to, and more often if the system works hard or the rules require it.
Laughton: your questions answered
Does my air con in Laughton need a yearly service?
A yearly visit is right for most households. Larger systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent or more also need a leak check at least every 12 months under the F-gas rules.
Is Laughton in your area for air conditioning servicing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Laughton is part of that. Just phone us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few details.
Do you do service contracts for air con?
Yes. A contract sets out how often we visit and what each visit covers with the price fixed when you accept the quote. It suits anyone who would rather not track service dates.
Which accreditations do you hold?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we’re an F-Gas certified company. We’re also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
Will you regas my air conditioning on a service?
A regas is a separate job, done once a leak has been found and fixed. Topping up without finding the leak means the gas escapes again, so we don’t recommend it.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we will advise on what to do next.
Why it’s worth doing now in Laughton
A blocked condensate drain typically gets worse rather than better. A small drip can turn into water on the wall, the floor or the furniture, so it’s worth clearing before that happens. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.

Keeping systems in Laughton running
The Parish Church of All Saints, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 9 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Laughton’s centre. That only matters for replacements, where a new outdoor unit on a protected building can need consent. The 2021 Census found about 82% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Wall bracket, ground pad or flat roof: knowing where the outdoor unit is saves time on the day.
Spring is a good time for a service, before the system is needed for cooling. Site managers at schools like Laughton Community Primary School can have the site’s units serviced during a holiday.
