• Initial inspection & diagnosis of cooling system, seals, thermostat and drainage. • Cleaning of condenser coils, evaporator, drip tray and fan assemblies. • Lubrication of moving parts (e.g. door hinges, fan motor bearings). • Seal replacement for worn or leaking door gaskets. • Coolant level check and top-up if required. • Functional testing of temperature stability, defrost cycle and door operation.

Typical Cost (inc. VAT)

Time on Site

Typical duration: 1–2 hours per visit. Factors extending duration:

• Severe scale or debris buildup requiring deep cleaning.

• Replacement of major components (compressor, fan motor).

• Access to rear of fridge (tight kitchen spaces).

• Multiple appliance servicing in one call-out.
  

Questions to Ask Your Trade

1. Are you F-Gas certified to handle refrigerants safely?

2. Will you provide a detailed report of findings and recommended repairs?

3. What brand/model experience do you have with my fridge?

4. Does your service include seal replacement and coil cleaning?

5. How do you test temperature accuracy after servicing?

6. What is your warranty on labour and any replaced parts?

7. Do you dispose of any old refrigerant or parts, and is that included?
   

How to Avoid Surprises

• Ensure clear access behind appliance—move cabinets or bins.

• Reserve a nearby parking space for the service van.

• Confirm whether power isolation is needed—know where your fuse is.

• Ask if any F-Gas paperwork will be supplied for record-keeping.

• Get a written quote with call-out, labour, materials and any extras itemised.
