Air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Tiddington
We’re asked to service systems for many different reasons: smells at start-up, a unit that struggles on hot days, drips from the indoor unit, or a service that is overdue. The same full set of checks applies whatever prompted the call. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, multi-split systems and ceiling cassettes, and people most often call us about a musty or damp smell when the unit starts and ice forming on the pipework or outdoor unit.
We plan the trip to Tiddington and can service more than one unit in one visit, which keeps it simple.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

What we’re called out for in Tiddington
The indoor coil is cold and wet when the system is cooling. Dust sticks to a wet surface, and over time the coil and drain tray can get dirty enough to smell.
Common reasons people call us are:
- Error codes or flashing lights on the indoor unit
- Ice forming on the pipework or outdoor unit
- Leak check records that need bringing up to date
Booking before the first hot spell means the system is ready when you need it.

What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation, and we clear up before we go. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Tiddington.
- We start with the details of the system and anything you’ve noticed.
- The indoor units are opened up and the filters, coils and drain trays cleaned.
- The outdoor unit gets its own clean, with leaves and debris cleared away.
- Readings are taken on the electrics and refrigerant circuit, and the controls are tried in each mode.
- Anything we find is explained, with a fixed price if it needs a repair.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time

What the work involves, system by system
Condensate drains and pumps
Drain trays can collect sludge. Cleaning them helps with drips and with musty smells.
Filters
Filters catch dust before it reaches the coil. On a service, they’re cleaned and checked for tears, and if a filter is past its best we tell you.
Your questions about air conditioning servicing in Tiddington
Do you cover Tiddington for air conditioning servicing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Tiddington is part of that. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Will you come out to Tiddington?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Do you look at the job first?
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.
How much time does an air con service need?
A typical service takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. Units that are hard to reach can take longer and we will let you know before the visit.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
Do you offer air conditioning maintenance contracts?
Yes, and the schedule is set around your system. The price is fixed with your quote, and each visit is recorded.
Do you top up refrigerant during a service?
We check refrigerant performance on every service, but adding gas is separate work. If it’s low, a leak repair comes first and the regas follows with a fixed price for each step.
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are usually the one part owners can clean where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
