Air conditioning servicing in Pett Bottom, done properly
For an annual service, the price is £95–£150 + VAT, and we confirm the figure before we book you in. Larger systems with several indoor units, ducted units or commercial plant are priced on their details. There’s no guessing at the bill afterwards. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, ducted systems and ceiling cassettes, and the jobs we see most are smells coming from the indoor unit and water dripping from the indoor unit.
Around Pett Bottom, outdoor units sit close to gardens and greenery, where seeds and leaves collect on the coil. A yearly clean keeps the system working well.
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

FAQs for Pett Bottom
Do you cover smaller places like Pett Bottom?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Can you do air conditioning servicing in Pett Bottom?
Yes. Pett Bottom is one of the places we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
How soon will you get back to me?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Does my air conditioning need an F-gas leak check?
The rules are based on tCO2e, which comes from the refrigerant charge and its GWP. From 5 to under 50 tCO2e, leak checks are required at least every 12 months, and from 50 to under 500 tCO2e every 6 months. Hermetically sealed systems under 10 tCO2e are exempt.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. We are also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
How the visit works
You don’t need to do much on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and the rest is down to us. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Pett Bottom.
- It begins with a few questions about the make, the rooms served and any symptoms.
- The indoor units are opened up and the filters, coils and drain trays cleaned.
- The outdoor unit gets its own clean, with leaves and debris cleared away.
- Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are tested.
- We explain what we found and price any repair before it’s done.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

What affects the cost of air conditioning servicing
Our prices page gives typical ranges, and your quote is built on your job. The quote depends on:
- What electrical work the job needs
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
One room or a whole building, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the equipment. You will have a fixed price before work begins, with VAT shown clearly.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because every property is different. Once we’ve looked at the job, from photos or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To get going, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
Owner checks or an engineer?
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.

Keeping systems in Pett Bottom running
In the mile around Pett Bottom’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. Swapping an outdoor unit on a listed building or in a conservation area may need consent, so we will flag it if a replacement is needed. About 79% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). If the outdoor unit is high up or behind a locked gate, mention it when you book.
If you look after a school such as Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys, servicing is easiest in the holidays. Spring is a good time for a service, before the system is needed for cooling.

What happens if it’s left?
Check your manufacturer’s warranty conditions before letting servicing lapse. If yours does, a gap in the service history could matter if a fault comes up later. We can go through the terms with you. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone 07833 053749 or send an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed price.
