What happens on the day
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: diagnose, treat and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. The middle part takes longest, which takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Abinger Bottom.
- We start with what the unit is doing, the make and any code.
- On the diagnosis visit, we test the electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant.
- We explain the cause in plain English and give you a fixed price.
- With your go-ahead, we carry out the repair, recording any refrigerant work.
- We test the system in operation and leave you a note of the fault and the fix.
Before we arrive
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in

Advice
How we handle air conditioning repair in Abinger Bottom
Wondering whether the fault is something simple? A quick check of the filter, settings and remote can rule out the simple causes, and if that doesn’t fix it, ring us on 07833 053749. We reply to enquiries the same working day. If the problem is a unit that barely blows any air and a noisy indoor or outdoor unit, we can sort it out.
Around Abinger Bottom, outdoor units often sit close to gardens and hedges, and a coil clogged with leaves or seeds is a common cause of weak cooling.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. File them with the system’s paperwork, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

What the work involves, system by system
Refrigerant leaks
Topping up without finding the leak only delays the next breakdown, and it releases more refrigerant into the air. We always find and fix the leak first.
Condensate drains and pumps
Most water leaks from indoor units come back to the condensate system. Drains block with dirt and growth, pipes get kinked and pumps fail, and a unit that is not level can spill water too.
What a repair looks like in Abinger Bottom
About 40% of homes in the Abinger Bottom area were built before 1919, according to VOA council tax data, and about 76% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). A photo of the outdoor unit and its surroundings tells us what access the visit needs. Draw a one-mile circle round the middle of Abinger Bottom and it takes in 2 conservation areas. We keep it in mind in case a new outdoor unit is ever needed, as protected buildings can need consent for that.
For a school like Belmont Prep School, urgent repairs can be booked straight away and bigger work in the holidays. Before you call, note what the unit is doing and any code on the controller.

FAQs for Abinger Bottom
Do you cover smaller places like Abinger Bottom?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Do you cover Abinger Bottom for emergency air conditioning repairs?
Abinger Bottom is within our area, and the emergency line is open 24/7. Say what the system is doing and whether it shows a code, and we will advise on the next step.
Will you make a mess?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Abinger Bottom and across Surrey. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Why is my air conditioning leaking water?
Most leaks come from a blocked drain, a failed pump or a unit that has dropped out of level. Ice that forms on the coil and melts can cause drips too. Switch the unit off and ring 07833 053749 or send an email.
What causes ice on the indoor coil?
The coil gets too cold when air can’t move across it or when the refrigerant charge is low. A dirty filter is worth checking first and if that is not it, we will find the cause.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- If the breaker trips twice, leave it off
- Turn the system off if it’s dripping water
- Never add refrigerant yourself or let anyone top up without finding the leak
You get a note of the fault and what we did: what was wrong, what was replaced and any refrigerant work. Any refrigerant work is recorded in the F-Gas records, so keep the note with the system’s paperwork.
Give the outdoor unit space. Leaves, plants and stored items around it restrict airflow and make the system work harder and debris drawn into the fan can cause noise and damage.
What air conditioning repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different answer:
- A building problem rather than a system fault
- An old system with obsolete parts
- A supply fault outside the property
If you’re not sure, just call 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
