Managing agents and facilities teams in South Ockendon
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Every visit is written up, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
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 send the records to whoever needs them.
About our air conditioning servicing in South Ockendon
Servicing doesn’t mean topping up refrigerant. Refrigerant runs in a sealed circuit and shouldn’t need adding to. If the performance checks point to a leak, we explain the options for finding and fixing it rather than just topping up. The work covers ducted systems, wall-mounted split systems and air-to-air heat pumps, and common reasons people get in touch are drips or damp patches below an indoor unit and an unpleasant odour when the system runs.
In a place like South Ockendon, the outdoor unit often sits near a garden, hedge or trees, so the outdoor coil can clog with leaves and seeds. Cleaning it is part of every service.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order and each visit is recorded.
