How we handle air conditioning servicing in Wickham
For an annual service, the price is £95–£150 + VAT, confirmed before the visit is booked. Larger systems with several indoor units, ducted units or commercial plant are priced on their details. Either way, you know the cost before the engineer arrives. Typical jobs include iced-up coils or pipework and no service record for the last year or more, on multi-split systems, ceiling cassettes and air-to-air heat pumps.
Outdoor units around Wickham tend to be close to gardens and hedges, so the outdoor coil can clog with leaves and seeds. Cleaning it is part of every service.
The records are your 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.

What happens if it’s left?
A musty smell from the system is rarely something that clears on its own. Cleaning the coil, the fan and the drain tray deals with the cause, rather than masking it. Dealing with it now is usually simpler than a breakdown later.
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed price.

Questions from Wickham
Can you do air conditioning servicing in Wickham?
Yes. Wickham is one of the places we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
How often do you service systems in Wickham?
A yearly visit is right for most households. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
Do I need a service to keep the manufacturer’s warranty?
The warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms. Read the conditions for your brand, as they may include servicing and file every service record.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we will agree what happens next.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
How much time does an air con service need?
A typical service takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. Ducted units in ceiling voids and outdoor units in awkward places can add time and we’ll let you know before the visit.
Is an F-gas leak check a legal requirement for my system?
Under GOV.UK guidance, systems of 5 to under 50 tCO2e need a check at least every 12 months, and 50 to under 500 tCO2e every 6 months. Fitting leak detection lets you double the interval, and we can tell you where your system sits.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby, and we ask before moving anything. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. It 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. Visits to a place like Wickham are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the job needs.
- A date is fixed and the service price confirmed in advance.
- The engineer runs the system and checks how it’s performing.
- Then the cleaning: filters, coils, fan and the drain line.
- We check the wiring, controls and refrigerant circuit, and leak check systems that need it.
- It’s run once more to confirm all is well, and the record is left with you.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Let us know where we can park and unload
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.

What a service looks like in Wickham
About 53% of homes in and around Wickham have been built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and the last census (2021) found about 61% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Tell us where your outdoor unit is and how to reach it, so we can plan the visit. Central Wickham is inside the Wickham Conservation Area. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 66 within half a mile of the centre, such as Wickham House (grade II*). Day-to-day work on an existing system isn’t affected; a replacement outdoor unit on a protected building might be.
Spring is a good time for a service, before the system is needed for cooling. Schools such as Wickham Church of England Primary School can book servicing for half term or the summer break, when rooms are empty.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Read the warranty conditions for your brand
- Keep to an annual service, or more often if needed
- Hold on to every service report
Once we’ve gone, use the system as normal and see how it performs. If you notice anything unusual, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll talk it through.
Act on the early signs. A new noise, a faint smell or a drip is easier to deal with early than after a breakdown.
From one of our customers
“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.”
