Why it’s worth doing now in St James's
Drainage problems tend to grow. A small drip can turn into water on the wall, the floor or the furniture, which is easily avoided by clearing the drain on a service. Approvals for flats in St James's can take longer than the install itself.
What you pay 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 you know where you stand.

How we handle air conditioning servicing in St James's
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. If the problem is condensate leaking into the room and noisy fans or rattling from the outdoor unit, we can sort it out.
In St James's, a business system may need a leak check by law as well as a service, depending on how much refrigerant it holds. The check is recorded, with the next date noted.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.

FAQs for St James's
How often do you service systems in St James's?
For most homes, once a year. Business systems may also need F-gas leak checks, at least every 12 months from 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent.
Do you cover St James's for air conditioning servicing?
Yes. St James's is one of the places we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. It’s worth checking before you book, and we are happy to show ours.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Can I have a maintenance contract for my air conditioning?
Yes. 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.
Will servicing keep my manufacturer’s warranty valid?
It depends on the brand. Some warranties may include conditions about regular servicing so it’s worth reading yours. We’re happy to go through them with you, and our service record shows the work was done.
When is an F-gas leak check required?
It depends on the system’s tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e). From 5 to under 50 tCO2e, leak checks are required at least every 12 months, and from 50 to under 500 tCO2e every 6 months. Hermetically sealed systems under 10 tCO2e are exempt.

Servicing in St James's: local notes
The centre of St James's lies within the Regent Street Conservation Area. There are 34 conservation areas within a mile of the centre of St James's. Chatham House, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 935 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around St James's’s centre. We keep it in mind in case a new outdoor unit is ever needed, as protected buildings can need consent for that. About 54% of homes in the St James's area were built before 1919, according to VOA council tax data, and about 94% of households live in flats, according to Census 2021 figures. If you live in a flat, mention any roof hatch, balcony or managing agent we’ll need to get to the outdoor unit. In London, a yearly clean of the outdoor coil makes a real difference to how well a system cools.
For an office near London Charing Cross station, servicing can be booked before or after working hours. For a school like Soho Parish CofE Primary School, maintenance visits can be booked out of term.
