Air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Sittingbourne
For an annual service, the price is £95–£150 + VAT, confirmed before the visit is booked. Multi-split, ducted and commercial systems are priced once we know what’s there. There’s no guessing at the bill afterwards. The work covers ducted systems, multi-split systems and VRF systems, and the jobs we see most are systems that need a 6 or 12-monthly leak check and a musty or damp smell when the unit starts.
A service in Sittingbourne usually starts with the filters and the indoor coil, then the drain, the outdoor unit and the electrics, and we finish by testing the temperatures and checking for leaks.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Maintenance contracts
For businesses, a contract keeps servicing and any required leak checks on schedule and each visit is recorded.
Refrigerant performance and leak checks
The law requires leak checks once a system reaches 5 tCO2e, at least yearly up to 50 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 to under 500 tCO2e. Hermetically sealed equipment holding less than 10 tCO2e doesn’t need them.
FAQs for Sittingbourne
How often do you service systems in Sittingbourne?
A yearly visit is right for most households. Some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing, so it’s worth keeping the records.
Can you do air conditioning servicing in Sittingbourne?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Sittingbourne is part of that. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. Every visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. File them with the system’s paperwork.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Do you offer air conditioning maintenance contracts?
We do. With a contract, the frequency and the scope of each visit are written down, at a fixed price agreed with your quote. It suits anyone who would rather not track service dates.
Do you top up refrigerant during a service?
A service doesn’t include adding refrigerant. The refrigerant circuit is sealed, so a system that’s short of gas has a leak. Where the checks point to a leak, we explain the options for finding and fixing it.
Rented and managed buildings
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is, and we can work for either side.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed-price quote.
What a service looks like in Sittingbourne
Sittingbourne is within about 2 miles of the coast. Coastal outdoor units are worth checking for corrosion at every service. The High Street, Sittingbourne Conservation Area is within about a third of a mile of the centre of Sittingbourne. In the mile around Sittingbourne’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 70 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of St Michael (grade II*). 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.
Offices and shops near Sittingbourne station can have their systems serviced without closing. If you look after a school such as Borden Grammar School, servicing is easiest in the holidays.

How the visit works
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. We book visits in Sittingbourne at a time that suits you, and business work around your hours.
- When you book, we ask what make it is, how many rooms it serves and whether anything seems wrong.
- We run the system first and see how it’s performing.
- Filters, coils and the condensate drain are cleaned and cleared.
- Next come the terminals, the controller and the refrigerant side, with a leak check if the system’s size makes one a legal duty.
- A service record follows, with any faults and the options for fixing them.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
