How we handle air conditioning servicing in Rotherhithe
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. The work covers ceiling cassettes, multi-split systems and VRF systems, and the jobs we see most are a unit showing a fault code and frost or ice on the refrigerant pipes.
In Rotherhithe, the outdoor unit can be on a balcony, a roof or a rear wall, so let us know how to get to it. Managed buildings may need the visit booked through the agent.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer, so keep it safe.

FAQs for Rotherhithe
Do you cover Rotherhithe for air conditioning servicing?
Yes. Rotherhithe is one of the places we cover. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the quote form with a few details.
What’s the best way to get a price for air conditioning servicing in Rotherhithe?
Use the quote form, or email, with a description of the job. Simple jobs can be priced from pictures; otherwise we arrange a site survey and then give you a fixed-price quote.
Do you work on all makes?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
Does the manufacturer’s warranty require regular servicing?
The answer is in your manufacturer’s warranty conditions. Where servicing is a condition, keeping an annual service record helps show the terms were followed and we’ll help you check what applies.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Every visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
Different systems, different jobs
Refrigerant performance and leak checks
The engineer looks at how well the system is moving heat, checking temperatures and pressures against what the system should achieve. If the readings suggest gas has been lost, we explain what that means.
Indoor and outdoor coils
Room air passes over the indoor coil, which takes heat out or puts it in. Cleaning removes the dust that coats the fins, and we look for damage or corrosion.

When to call us in Rotherhithe
The outdoor unit lives outside. Leaves, dirt and debris collect on the coil and around the casing, which makes it harder for the unit to shed or pick up heat.
Customers normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- A system that struggles to cool on warm days
- Systems that haven’t been serviced for a while
- Condensate leaking into the room
For an office near Canada Water station, servicing can be booked before or after working hours.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
- Whose warranty applies, and on what terms
- Which VAT rate the quote uses, and why
What affects the quote in Rotherhithe
Our prices page gives typical ranges, and your quote is built on your job. What we look at:
- How many units are involved
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but your price depends on the job in front of us. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
Before you get in touch
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
Quotes don’t take long. Call or email with a few details and we’ll come back to you the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.
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 photos you sent. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. From there, the work takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. Managed buildings in London often need contractors booked in, and we can deal with the agent for a job in Rotherhithe.
- We book a time that suits you and confirm the price.
- We switch the system on and check it in operation.
- Then the cleaning: filters, coils, fan and the drain line.
- The electrics, controls and refrigerant performance are checked, with a leak check where required.
- We run the system again and leave you a service record.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
Getting a price
Every quote starts with a look at the job, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your pictures and details. After that, we send a fixed price before any work starts.

What a service looks like in Rotherhithe
9 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Rotherhithe. On the National Heritage List, around 22 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Rotherhithe; Church of St Mary Rotherhithe (grade II*) is one. For most visits that makes no difference. It only comes up when an outdoor unit has to be replaced on a protected building. VOA council tax data show about 39% of homes across Rotherhithe and its surrounding area were built in 2000 or later, and the last census (2021) found about 79% of households live in flats. Outdoor units serving flats can be awkward to reach, so let us know where yours is. City dust and debris build up on London outdoor units, which is why servicing matters.
For a school like Alfred Salter Primary School, maintenance visits can be booked out of term.
