FAQs for Southwark
How often do you service systems in Southwark?
For most homes, once a year. Some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing, so it’s worth keeping the records.
Can you do air conditioning servicing in Southwark?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Southwark is part of that. To start, call us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line with a few pictures.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, on a survey, or from your photos and details where the job is simple. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we will tell you what to do first.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts before we leave.
Air conditioning servicing in Southwark, done properly
For homes with one or two units and businesses with many, we can set up a maintenance contract. We agree the visits, what each one covers and the price with your quote, and the servicing happens on schedule. The work covers ducted systems, multi-split systems and ceiling cassettes, and the jobs we see most are water dripping from the indoor unit and a system that struggles to cool on warm days.
In Southwark, the outdoor unit can be on a balcony, a roof or a rear wall, so let us know how to get to it. Managed buildings may need the visit booked through the agent.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Different systems, different jobs
Wall-mounted, ducted and cassette units
In most homes, the indoor units are wall-mounted. They open up for the filters, coil and fan to be cleaned, and the drain is checked at the same time.
Maintenance contracts
For businesses, a contract keeps servicing and any required leak checks on schedule and each visit is recorded.
Fixed-price quotes for air conditioning servicing in Southwark
Your quote is based on your property. We take into account:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How many units are involved
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
The cost depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, the access and what the work involves. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, with the rate that applies to your job. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it on the quote. To get one, phone 07833 053749.
What happens on the day
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. On site, it takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. Some blocks in Southwark need contractor details in advance, so tell us what your building needs.
- We start with the details of the system and anything you’ve noticed.
- Inside, the filters, coil and drain tray of each indoor unit are cleaned.
- Outside, the coil is cleaned, the fan checked and the area cleared.
- Readings are taken on the electrics and refrigerant circuit, and the controls are tried in each mode.
- If a repair is needed, you hear why and what it costs before anything is done.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. 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.

Keeping systems in Southwark running
VOA council tax data show about 46% of homes in and around Southwark were built in 2000 or later, and about 92% of households live in flats, according to the 2021 Census. Balcony, roof or high wall? Knowing where a flat’s outdoor unit is helps us bring the right access kit. London outdoor units collect city dust and grime, so the outdoor coil gets particular attention on a service. The middle of Southwark is part of the Liberty of the Mint Conservation Area. In the mile around Southwark’s centre, 37 conservation areas have been designated. Historic England lists about 171 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Southwark, including Church of St George the Martyr (grade II*). For most visits that makes no difference. It only comes up when an outdoor unit has to be replaced on a protected building.
For an office near Elephant & Castle station, servicing can be booked before or after working hours. Schools such as Charles Dickens Primary School can book servicing for half term or the summer break, when rooms are empty.

Before you call an engineer
Owner care supports servicing; it does not replace it. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you can’t see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
A customer’s words
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
