Problems with your auto airconditioning - The Area we try to cover
If your car air conditioning requires service we may be able to help if you are in south east England. There is a full list of PostCodes below for the area that we cover in summertime. Please scroll down.
During spring and summer our normal service area is from South East London, to the south of the River Thames going eastwards into Kent as far as Herne Bay,then from Faversham south to Ashford, now back west to Royal Tunbridge Wells right near the border with Sussex, north east to Croydon and then north into London again as far as the Congestion Charging Zone border, keeping the A23 as our general westerly border although once in London keeping to the SE Postal codes, not the SW. In other words, much of the county of Kent and a little of SE London although we do occasionally sneak into Surrey, Sussex or Essex when requested and if time permits, but not usually during the spring/summer. During the busier warmer months of the year we are not able to service the extremities of our area every day but would even then, cover the area more than once each week.
The area we cover in summer time is shown within the green line on the map below.

Apart from the usual regassing service we alway use an electronic leak detector to genuinely detect any leaking refrigerant (not just rely on the ability to hold on vacuum to assume that the aircon system will not leak). In addition we frequently use a UV sensitive dye to show the presence of a leak. We are able to make many pipe and hose repairs and to replace damaged or faulty components such as compressors, pressure switches or sensors and condensers . We convert many older cars with R12 (Freon) systems to use the newer R134a refrigerant or if required to use an alternative R12 replacement gas.
Like any other idiot we can be sure that by adding some refrigerant to an AC system we can make it at least 10% colder. Our expertise is in making sure that it stays that way.
We are considering making the occasional foray into south Essex as we receive so many requests from there. Although only a few miles from our base the presence of the Dartford Crossing with the frequent delays there makes it difficult to plan our day effectively. If you live in this area it might be worth giving us ring.
If you are outside our normal operating area please click here then on one of the general areas listed where we hope to suggest to you another aircon technician who covers that territory and who may be able to help.
If you have been sufficiently wise to have your AC system looked at before the normal summer rush and if you are only just outside our normal range it may be worth e-mailing me as sometimes at this time of the year we have the time to venture a little further afield
