- A unit showing a fault code
- Ice forming on the pipework or outdoor unit
Leave it or put it right?
When air can’t get through the unit easily, the system has to run longer to get there. Cleaning them is a small job, and it means the system isn’t straining through the summer. In London, hot spells can bring a rush of calls, so planning the work in Oval before summer avoids the wait.
Whatever the property, the quote works the same way: what’s needed, how we reach it, the parts and the labour. Call for a fixed-price quote and we’ll explain each part.

Air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Oval
Some systems need F-gas leak checks by law, and some don’t. 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 error codes or flashing lights on the indoor unit and condensate leaking into the room, we can help.
Commercial systems in a London area like Oval may need F-gas leak checks as well as a service, depending on its refrigerant charge. The check is recorded, with the next date noted.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

How it works
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we let you know if plans need to move. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, the work takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. For a job in Oval, tell us about parking, permits and access to the building when you get in touch.
- When you book, we ask what make it is, how many rooms it serves and whether anything seems wrong.
- The system is run and checked before anything is opened up.
- Filters, coils and the condensate drain are cleaned and cleared.
- Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are checked, with an F-gas leak check where the system requires one.
- A service record follows, with any faults and the options for fixing them.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
Advice
System by system
Indoor and outdoor coils
Outside, the coil gives off or picks up heat. Leaves, dirt and debris clog the fins and we clean it and make sure the air can flow.
Wall-mounted, ducted and cassette units
Cassette units are set into the ceiling and blow air in several directions. We drop the grille to clean the filters and check the condensate pump.
Let and managed properties
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Every visit is written up, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
If you look after several properties, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Every address has its own paperwork, so the files stay tidy.
Servicing in Oval: local notes
The centre of Oval lies within the Vauxhall Conservation Area. In the mile around Oval’s centre, 24 conservation areas have been designated. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 131 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of St Mark (grade II*). Day-to-day work on an existing system is not affected; a replacement outdoor unit on a protected building might be. About 32% of homes across Oval and its surrounding area have been built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 86% of households live in flats, according to the last census (2021). Balcony, roof or high wall? Knowing where a flat’s outdoor unit is helps us bring the right access kit. City dust and debris build up on London outdoor units, which is why servicing matters.
Schools such as St Stephen's Church of England Primary School can book servicing for half term or the summer break, when rooms are empty. For an office near Vauxhall station, servicing can be booked before or after working hours.

Oval: your questions answered
Do you cover Oval for air conditioning servicing?
Yes. Oval is one of the places we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
How often do you service systems in Oval?
Once a year suits most home systems. Larger systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent or more also need a leak check at least every 12 months under the F-gas rules.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
What accreditations do you have?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We’re members of Checkatrade too.
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.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
When will I hear back?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
