About our air conditioning servicing in Slutshole
Whether a leak check is required depends on how much refrigerant the system holds and which refrigerant it is. Under the GOV.UK rules, 5 to under 50 tCO2e means a leak check at least every 12 months, and 50 to under 500 tCO2e means every 6 months. We tell you which band your system falls into and carry out the checks it needs. If you’re dealing with a system that struggles to cool on warm days and drips or damp patches below an indoor unit, we can sort it out.
We plan the trip to Slutshole and can service more than one unit in one visit, which keeps it simple.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Your questions about air conditioning servicing in Slutshole
Does my air con in Slutshole need a yearly service?
Once a year suits most home systems. Some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing, so it’s worth keeping the records.
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Slutshole?
It can, as Slutshole is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. A yearly service that rinses and checks the outdoor coil matters more near the sea.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
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. That isn’t optional: it’s required by law, and we hold it.
How long will the engineer be here for the service?
Expect it to take an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. Access and the number of units decide most of the time, and we’ll give you an idea when we book.
Do you offer air conditioning maintenance contracts?
We do. A contract sets out how often we visit and what each visit covers, at a fixed price agreed with your quote. It takes the scheduling off your plate.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Which accreditations do you hold?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We’re also Checkatrade members.
Let and managed properties
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.
If you look after several properties, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Each property gets its own records, so the files stay tidy.
The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: agree the plan on site, put the dust sheets down, carry out the job, test what we have done and talk you through it. On site, the work takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. Somewhere like Slutshole, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- First, we agree a time and confirm the cost of the service.
- We switch the system on and check it in operation.
- Then the cleaning: filters, coils, fan and the drain line.
- Electrical and refrigerant checks follow, including a leak check if the rules require one.
- It’s run once more to confirm all is well, and the record is left with you.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address and the type of property, pictures of the rooms or units, the brand and model of anything already fitted and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Then call 07833 053749.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep the filters clean between visits
- Check the condensate pipe outside isn’t blocked or crushed
- Do not wait for a small drip to become a leak
Where the system needs F-gas leak checks, the result is recorded and the next one falls due within 6 or 12 months, depending on the system. We can book it in ahead of time.
An annual service is the simplest routine to keep to with extra visits where the system runs constantly or needs more frequent leak checks.

What happens if it’s left?
A dirty filter or coil makes the system work harder for the same result. Cleaning them is a small job and lets the system run as it was designed to. Getting the date in early helps for a place like Slutshole.
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we will explain what it covers.

Air conditioning servicing in Slutshole: the local picture
At about 3 miles from the coast, Slutshole is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air settles on outdoor coils, so coastal systems benefit from regular servicing. About 39% of homes in the Slutshole area were built before 1919, according to VOA council tax data, and the last census (2021) found about 74% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. If the outdoor unit is high up or behind a locked gate, mention it when you book. The centre of Slutshole lies within the Staplestreet Conservation Area. 4 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Slutshole. Church of St Michael, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 23 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Slutshole’s centre. Day-to-day work on an existing system isn’t affected; a replacement outdoor unit on a protected building might be.
If you can’t remember the last service, it’s probably due. If you look after a school such as Hernhill Church of England Primary School, servicing is easiest in the holidays.

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.”
