About our air conditioning repair in Addiscombe
Diagnosis call-outs start from £75 + VAT. Once we know the cause, you get a fixed price for the repair before any work goes ahead and nothing goes ahead without your say-so. If the problem is a unit that has lost refrigerant and a system that runs but doesn’t cool the room, we can help.
In a managed building in Addiscombe, the repair may need booking through the agent or building manager, so tell us who controls access. Roof access can need keys or permits, and we plan for that before we arrive.
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, so keep it safe.

Air conditioning repairs in Addiscombe: local notes
About 4 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Addiscombe, Church of St Mildred (grade II) among them. Swapping an outdoor unit on a listed building or in a conservation area may need consent, so we’ll flag it if a replacement is needed. Valuation Office Agency council tax records put about 44% of homes in Addiscombe and the neighbourhoods around it before 1919, and Census 2021 figures found about 46% of households in terraced houses. With a terrace, access to the rear for the outdoor unit is the main thing to tell us. In London, access to outdoor units on roofs and balconies can need planning, so tell us how to reach yours.
If a system fails at a school such as Oasis Academy Shirley Park, our 24/7 line takes the call, and planned repairs can wait for the holidays. The rating label on the unit gives the model number, which helps us bring the right parts.

How the job changes from property to property
Circuit boards and sensors
Boards and sensors are the system’s nervous system. A failed sensor can make a unit stop, run oddly or show an error code and boards can fail with age or after electrical problems.
Ducted and cassette systems
Ducted units and cassettes sit above the ceiling, so access matters. Condensate pumps are common on both, and a failed pump is a frequent cause of water leaks.
Let and managed properties
For anyone managing more than one building, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Each property gets its own records, so each one has its own history.
From a single flat to a whole estate, the approach is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, access agreed with the people on site and paperwork at the end.

Addiscombe questions
Do you cover Addiscombe for emergency air conditioning repairs?
The emergency line is open around the clock, and Addiscombe is one of the places it covers. Tell us the make, model and any error code when you call; repair call-outs start from £75 + VAT.
Can you do air conditioning repair in Addiscombe?
We do: Addiscombe falls inside our working area. To start, phone us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form with a few photos.
How does the warranty work?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
What causes water to leak from an air conditioning unit?
Most leaks come from a blocked drain, a failed pump or a unit that has dropped out of level. Ice on the coil from low airflow or low refrigerant can also melt and drip. Turn it off and give us a ring on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it, and the quote is based on that.
Can you repair an R22 air conditioning system?
Replacement is typically the better answer. R22 can’t be topped up with new gas, and parts for old models are scarce, so a new system on a modern refrigerant is usually the better investment.
