Air conditioning servicing in Tickham
Maintenance contracts suit anyone who would rather not have to remember when the next service is due. We agree the visits, what each one covers and the price with your quote, so the system is looked after on a regular schedule. If you are dealing with drips or damp patches below an indoor unit and a unit showing a fault code, we can help.
Several units at a home near Tickham can be serviced in one visit.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: 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.

What we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: check the plan with you, put the dust sheets down, do the work, check the system and explain it all to you. The visit itself takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. We plan the trip to Tickham around you.
- It begins with a few questions about the make, the rooms served and any symptoms.
- Each indoor unit has its covers lifted so the filters, coil and tray can be cleaned.
- The outdoor unit is cleaned and checked, and debris cleared from around it.
- Readings are taken on the electrics and refrigerant circuit, and the controls are tried in each mode.
- We explain what we found and price any repair before it’s done.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working

Do you work on all makes?
We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For simple jobs, photos and a few details can be enough, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Do I need a service to keep the manufacturer’s warranty?
Each manufacturer sets its own terms. Some may have servicing conditions attached, so check the terms for your system. We can explain the terms, and each visit is recorded.
When will I hear back?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
What’s the price of a yearly air conditioning service?
The price for an annual service is £95–£150 + VAT. You will know the price before the engineer arrives, and larger multi-split, ducted or commercial systems are priced on their details.

Why act early in Tickham
If your system needs F-gas leak checks, they are not optional. Skipping a year leaves a gap in the records the rules expect you to keep, and it’s simpler to keep to the schedule. Booking before summer means the work in Tickham is done before the hot weather.
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed price.
What you get with us

Servicing in Tickham: local notes
Draw a one-mile circle round the middle of Tickham and it takes in 2 conservation areas. Church of St Mary, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 12 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Tickham’s centre. That only matters for replacements, where a new outdoor unit on a protected building can need consent. The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures put about 35% of homes in Tickham and the neighbourhoods around it before 1919, and about 69% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Tell us where your outdoor unit is and how to reach it, so we can plan the visit.
Spring is a good time for a service, before the system is needed for cooling. If you look after a school such as Lynsted and Norton Primary School, servicing is easiest in the holidays.

Different systems, different jobs
Wall-mounted, ducted and cassette units
Wall-mounted units are the most common indoor unit in homes. They open up for the filters, coil and fan to be cleaned and the drain is cleared at the same visit.
Indoor and outdoor coils
Coil fins are thin and easily flattened. We’ll point out damaged fins and whether they matter.
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.”
