Somers Town questions
How often do you service systems in Somers Town?
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 you do air conditioning servicing in Somers Town?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Somers Town is part of that. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
When is an F-gas leak check required?
Under GOV.UK guidance, systems of 5 to under 50 tCO2e need a check at least every 12 months, and 50 to under 500 tCO2e every 6 months. Fitting leak detection lets you double the interval and we’ll confirm which band applies.
How soon will you get back to me?
You will hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
How we handle air conditioning servicing in Somers Town
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 warning lights on the indoor unit and air conditioning that isn’t cooling as well as it did, we can sort it out.
Commercial systems in a London area like Somers Town may need F-gas leak checks as well as a service, depending on how much refrigerant it holds. The check is recorded, with the next date noted.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after it is simple, and it helps at the next service:
- Clear leaves and debris from around the outdoor unit
- Keep doors and windows closed while the system is cooling
- Rinse the indoor unit filters every few weeks when the system is in heavy use
If you’d rather not keep track of service dates yourself, ask about a maintenance contract. The visits and the price are fixed with your quote so you don’t have to remember.
Check that the condensate pipe outside can still drain. A pipe that’s been knocked or covered can back up into the indoor unit.
The process
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. On the day, both are in the same hands. On site, it takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. Managed buildings in London often need contractors booked in, and we can deal with the agent for a job in Somers Town.
- A date is fixed and the service price confirmed in advance.
- Before any cleaning, the system is run so we can see how it behaves.
- We clean the filters, coils and fans and clear the condensate drain.
- We check the wiring, controls and refrigerant circuit, and leak check systems that need it.
- A final test run follows, then you get the service record.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
Ask for a quote
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

What air conditioning servicing cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than sell you work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Poor original installation, such as drains without a proper fall
- A refrigerant leak, which needs finding and repairing, not topping up
- Rooms that gain heat faster than any unit could cope with
If you’re not sure, just call 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Wall-mounted split systems
- Ceiling cassettes
- Air-to-air heat pumps
- Ducted systems
- Multi-split systems
- VRF systems
Let and managed properties
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork and we will copy in whoever needs it.
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system and we are happy to deal with whoever it is.
What a service looks like in Somers Town
Roughly a third of a mile or less from central Somers Town, you reach the King's Cross and St Pancras Conservation Area. 19 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Somers Town. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 182 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of St Pancras (grade I). Day-to-day work on an existing system isn’t affected; a replacement outdoor unit on a protected building might be. The last census (2021) found about 92% of households live in flats. 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.
For an office near London Euston station, servicing can be booked before or after working hours. If you look after a school such as St Mary and St Pancras Church of England Primary School, servicing is easiest in the holidays.

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.”
