Working hours
Most Leatherhead businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
R22
Since 1 January 2015, R22 systems cannot be maintained using virgin or recycled R22. If one leaks, the practical fix is usually replacement.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
Types of premises we cover in Leatherhead
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.

Two rules matter for most businesses in England: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for more than 12 kW of air conditioning.
Questions about replacement and upgrades in Leatherhead
How much does it cost to replace air conditioning in Leatherhead?
Guide prices in Leatherhead run from about £1,895 to £5,095 per indoor unit, plus VAT. A typical job (replacing a 3–4 unit system, re-using sound pipework) costs £6,850–£16,695 plus VAT. We fix the price in writing after a free survey.
Do you also cover Epsom, Chessington and Ewell?
Yes. Alongside Leatherhead, we also cover Epsom, Chessington and Ewell. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Which postcodes do you cover in Leatherhead?
All of them, including KT22. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
Is it illegal to use R22 air conditioning?
No — you can keep running an R22 system, but it cannot be maintained with virgin or recycled R22, so most repairs involving the refrigerant circuit are no longer possible.
Should we replace R410A systems now?
Not necessarily. If an R410A system is working well and maintained, keep it. Plan replacement when it becomes unreliable or expensive to run.
