What a service looks like in Shadwell
Roughly a third of a mile or less from central Shadwell, you reach the Wapping Wall Conservation Area. There are 16 conservation areas within a mile of the centre of Shadwell. About 75 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Shadwell, Church of St Peter (grade I) among them. If a repair turns into a replacement on a listed building or in a conservation area, we check the planning position before changing the outdoor unit. The 2021 Census found about 87% of households live in flats. 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.
Site managers at schools like Peter Hills with St Mary's and St Paul's CofE Primary School can have the site’s units serviced during a holiday. Offices and shops near Wapping station can have their systems serviced without closing.

Air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Shadwell
Servicing doesn’t mean topping up refrigerant. The refrigerant circuit is sealed, so a system that is short of gas has a leak somewhere. Where the checks suggest gas has been lost, the right step is to find the leak, and we’ll set out how. If you’re dealing with ice forming on the pipework or outdoor unit and a unit showing a fault code, we can help.
In Shadwell, the outdoor unit can be on a balcony, a roof or a rear wall, so let us know how to get to it. If the building has a managing agent, we can book in with them.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Shadwell
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the records to whoever needs them.
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
How the visit works
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. On site, the work takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. Photos of the room and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan most of a visit to Shadwell in advance.
- 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.
- Outside, the coil is cleaned, the fan checked and the area cleared.
- Readings are taken on the electrics and refrigerant circuit, and the controls are tried in each mode.
- We explain what we found and price any repair before it’s done.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Keep pets and children away from the work area

How the job changes from property to property
Refrigerant performance and leak checks
The law requires leak checks once a system reaches 5 tCO2e: at least every 12 months from 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 to under 500 tCO2e. Hermetically sealed equipment holding less than 10 tCO2e does not need them.
Maintenance contracts
A contract helps a business keep its servicing and F-gas checks on track, with records kept for each visit.
Shadwell questions
How do I get a quote for air conditioning servicing in Shadwell?
The easiest way is to ring 07833 053749 or email us with a few details and photos. Where photos are not enough, a survey comes first and the fixed-price quote follows.
How often should air conditioning in Shadwell be serviced?
Usually once a year for homes, more often for busy business systems. Some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing, so it’s worth keeping the records.
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 are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Do you do service contracts for air con?
Yes, and the schedule is set around your system. We agree the cost up front, and each visit is recorded.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. Ask to see proof before you book anyone, and we’re happy to show ours.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
After we’ve gone
Simple habits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Read the warranty conditions for your brand
- Clear leaves and debris from around the outdoor unit
- File each service record with the manufacturer’s documents
For systems that need them, the leak check and its result go on record and the next one falls due within 6 or 12 months, depending on the system. We can diary it for you.
Don’t ignore small changes. Odd noises, smells and drips are cheaper to sort out before they grow than after a breakdown.
