Air conditioning servicing in West Kensington, done properly
A service is not the same as a regas. The refrigerant circuit is sealed, so a system that is short of gas has a leak somewhere. Where the checks suggest gas has been lost, the right step is to find the leak, and we will set out how. Typical jobs include warning lights on the indoor unit and systems that need a 6 or 12-monthly leak check, across air-to-air heat pumps, wall-mounted split systems and multi-split systems.
Commercial systems in a London area like West Kensington may need F-gas leak checks as well as a service, depending on its refrigerant charge. The check is recorded, with the next date noted.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Keeping systems in West Kensington running
About 68% of homes in and around West Kensington were built before 1919, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and Census 2021 figures found about 82% of households live in flats. 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 West Kensington is part of a conservation area. In the mile around West Kensington’s centre, 12 conservation areas have been designated. Church of St Cuthbert and St Matthias, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 39 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around West Kensington’s centre. Swapping an outdoor unit on a listed building or in a conservation area may need consent, so we’ll flag it if a replacement is needed.
For an office near Kensington Olympia station, servicing can be booked before or after working hours. If you look after a school such as The Fulham Boys School, servicing is easiest in the holidays.

Common questions in West Kensington
How often do you service systems in West Kensington?
Once a year suits most home systems. Some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing, so it’s worth keeping the records.
What’s the best way to get a price for air conditioning servicing in West Kensington?
Start with a short message: the address, what you need and a picture or two. We reply the same working day, and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Will you make a mess?
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.
Do I need a service to keep the manufacturer’s warranty?
It depends on the brand. Some may have servicing conditions attached, so check the terms for your system. We can explain the terms, and each visit is recorded.
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.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Do you cover West Kensington?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of the South East, and that includes West Kensington.
System by system
Wall-mounted, ducted and cassette units
Ducted units sit out of sight in ceiling voids. Servicing means reaching the unit through an access hatch, so let us know where the hatch is.
Condensate drains and pumps
Cooling pulls moisture out of the air, and that water has to drain away. We clean the drain tray and clear the pipe so it flows properly.
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system is mostly common sense. Our tips:
- Book the service at least once a year
- Close windows when the air conditioning is running
- Read the warranty conditions for your brand
Put the next service in the diary right away. Many people book in spring, before the cooling season, or in autumn if they use the system for heating although we service all year round.
Do not ignore small changes. Odd noises, smells and drips are cheaper to sort out before they grow than once the system has stopped.
What happens on the day
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before we start, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. If a freeholder or agent needs to agree the work in West Kensington, we can send them the details.
- 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 is cleaned and checked, and debris cleared from around it.
- Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are tested.
- Anything we find is explained, with a fixed price if it needs a repair.
How to prepare
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need

Let and managed properties
For anyone managing more than one building, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Every address has its own paperwork, so each one has its own history.
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
A customer’s words
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
