Advice
About our air conditioning servicing in Royal Docks
People in Royal Docks book a service for all sorts of reasons: smells at start-up, a unit that struggles on hot days, drips from the indoor unit, or a service that’s overdue. The same full set of checks applies whatever prompted the call. The work covers multi-split systems, ducted systems and ceiling cassettes, and the jobs we see most are leak check records that need bringing up to date and a musty or damp smell when the unit starts.
For a flat or office in Royal Docks, tell us where the outdoor unit is and how we reach it, as that affects how long the service takes. If the building has a managing agent, we can book in with them.
Think of the paperwork as the 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 and it’s worth keeping safe.

- Systems that haven’t been serviced for a while

What a service looks like in Royal Docks
Valuation Office Agency council tax records show about 49% of homes in and around Royal Docks were built in 2000 or later, and about 60% of households live in flats, according to the last census (2021). Outdoor units serving flats can be awkward to reach, so let us know where yours is. London outdoor units collect city dust and grime, so the outdoor coil gets particular attention on a service. The Connaught Tavern, listed at grade II, is one of roughly 3 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Royal Docks’s centre. We keep it in mind in case a new outdoor unit is ever needed, as protected buildings can need consent for that.
Schools such as Calverton Primary School can book servicing for half term or the summer break, when rooms are empty.

Common questions in Royal Docks
How do I get a quote for air conditioning servicing in Royal Docks?
The easiest way is to phone 07833 053749 or use the quote form with a few details and pictures. Straightforward work can be priced remotely. Bigger jobs get a survey and a written fixed price.
Can you do air conditioning servicing in Royal Docks?
We do: Royal Docks falls inside our working area. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
When will I hear back?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
What does an air con service involve?
Filters, coils, fans and the condensate drain are all cleaned and checked. We also check the electrical connections, the controls and the refrigerant performance, with an F-gas leak check where the system requires one.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump 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 can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
What accreditations do you have?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we’re an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Safe owner checks
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, if the manual says so. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Pricing air conditioning servicing in Royal Docks
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- What kind of system it is
- A single visit or a regular plan
- What electrical work the job needs
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
Every quote starts with a look at the job, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from photos and measurements. After that, we send a fixed price before any work starts.
What a customer said
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
