Air conditioning servicing in Padworth Common
We’re asked to service systems for many different reasons: a musty smell, weak cooling, water dripping indoors or simply because it’s been a while. Whatever the reason, the visit follows the same thorough checks. If the problem is iced-up coils or pipework and no service record for the last year or more, we can sort it out.
We plan the trip to Padworth Common and can service more than one unit in one visit.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Don’t wait for a small drip to become a leak
- Clear leaves and debris from around the outdoor unit
- Hold on to every service report
Once we’ve gone, use the system as normal and see how it performs. If anything seems off, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we will look into it.
Check that the condensate pipe outside can still drain. If the outlet is blocked, the water has to go somewhere, and that is typically back towards the indoor unit.

- Heat from large windows, roof spaces or equipment beyond the system’s capacity

Managing agents and facilities teams in Padworth Common
If you look after several properties, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Every address has its own paperwork, so the files stay tidy.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too across West Berkshire. Larger buildings can be done in stages around the people who use them.
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby and nothing is moved without asking you. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. It takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system, and we tidy up before we leave. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Padworth Common easier.
- First, we agree a time and confirm the cost of the service.
- We switch the system on and check it in operation.
- Filters, coils, fans and drains are cleaned and cleared.
- Electrical and refrigerant checks follow, including a leak check if the rules require one.
- A final test run follows, then you get the service record.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Let us know where we can park and unload

Advice
FAQs for Padworth Common
How often should air conditioning in Padworth Common be serviced?
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.
Do you cover smaller places like Padworth Common?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
What does an air con service involve?
A clean of the parts that collect dirt and a check of the parts that do the work. That means filters, coils and drains, plus electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance with leak checks where the rules require them.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We’re also Checkatrade members.
Do you top up refrigerant during a service?
A service does not include adding refrigerant. The refrigerant circuit is sealed, so a system that’s short of gas has a leak. Where the checks point to a leak, we explain the options for finding and fixing it.
When is an F-gas leak check required?
The requirement starts at 5 tCO2e. Plenty of small splits sit under it, as 3 kg of R32 works out at about 2.0 tCO2e. We read the charge from the label and work it out for you.
