Keeping systems in Shotgate running
Census 2021 figures found about 81% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Tell us where your outdoor unit is and how to reach it, so we can plan the visit. The centre of Shotgate lies within a conservation area. About 4 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Shotgate, Shot Farmhouse (grade II) among them. We keep it in mind in case a new outdoor unit is ever needed, as protected buildings can need consent for that.
A service once a year suits most home systems, and some business systems need more. Schools such as Beauchamps High School can book servicing for half term or the summer break, when rooms are empty.

How we handle air conditioning servicing in Shotgate
Servicing does not 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. The work covers multi-split systems, VRF systems and air-to-air heat pumps, and common reasons people get in touch are a system that struggles to cool on warm days and smells coming from the indoor unit.
Most systems around Shotgate need servicing once a year, ideally in spring before the warm weather.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

What else we do in Shotgate
Shotgate: your questions answered
How often should air conditioning in Shotgate be serviced?
Normally once a year for homes, more often for busy business systems. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
Is Shotgate in your area for air conditioning servicing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Shotgate is part of that. To start, phone 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form with a few photos.
Which accreditations do you hold?
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.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Do you do service contracts for air con?
Yes, for homes and businesses. The visits, what each covers and the price are agreed with your quote, so servicing and any required leak checks stay on schedule.
Does my air conditioning need an F-gas leak check?
The requirement starts at 5 tCO2e. Many small split systems fall below it: 3 kg of R32, for instance, is about 2.0 tCO2e. We check the label and tell you whether your system needs checks and how often.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we’ll agree what happens next.
Leave it or put it right?
A blocked condensate drain normally gets worse rather than better. A small drip can turn into water on the wall, the floor or the furniture, which is easily avoided by clearing the drain on a service. A system that is left with a fault, or without a service, typically costs more to run.
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every unit or room you need covered and we will price it together.

How we price air conditioning servicing
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How easy the units are to reach
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
No two properties are the same, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.
Before you get in touch
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- The make and model of the system, from the label
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it on the quote. For a fixed-price quote, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
What air conditioning won’t do
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Lost refrigerant, where the fix is a leak repair
- Rooms that gain heat faster than any unit could cope with
- Major component failures that call for a repair visit
If you are not sure, just phone 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers
- Multi-split systems
- Wall-mounted split systems
- Air-to-air heat pumps
- Ducted systems
- VRF systems
- Ceiling cassettes
How the visit works
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. The work itself takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. Visits to Shotgate are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We ask about the system: the make, the number of indoor units and any problems you’ve noticed.
- We run the system first and see how it’s performing.
- Filters are cleaned, coils treated and the drain tray and pipe cleared.
- Temperatures and pressures tell us how the refrigerant circuit is doing, alongside checks on the wiring and controls.
- We leave you a record of the service and explain anything we found.
Before we arrive
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work

Advice
From one of our customers
“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.”
