What we do, step by step
You do not need to do much on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and we take it from there. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Ayres End easier.
- It starts with the symptoms: what the unit is doing, the make and any code on the display.
- We diagnose on site, checking the codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant pressures.
- We explain the cause and give you a fixed price for the repair before any work goes ahead.
- The repair is carried out, and any refrigerant work is leak tested and recorded.
- Before leaving, we run it through its modes and write up what was found and done.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
Getting a price
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.
Advice
How we handle air conditioning repair in Ayres End
We repair air conditioning on all the main brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. It does not matter who installed it and the make and model help us prepare. Typical jobs include a system that needs topping up again and a system that won’t switch on, across wall-mounted split systems, ducted systems and heat pumps.
Outdoor units in a place like Ayres End can be near hedges and fields, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs on the coil are worth checking first.
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, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Safe owner checks
Don’t move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Looking after it afterwards
Systems last better with the right care. We suggest:
- Send us a photo of any code on the display
- Let any ice thaw before the engineer arrives
- Check the settings and the remote’s batteries first
If a repair does not make sense, you will hear it from us, with the reasons. If replacement is the better option, we can quote for it on the same visit.
Sensible use helps. Moderate settings and a closed room mean less strain and the system does not have to work as hard.

Your questions about air conditioning repair in Ayres End
Can you do air conditioning repair in Ayres End?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Ayres End is part of that. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Do you cover Ayres End for emergency air conditioning repairs?
Yes. Our 24/7 emergency line covers Ayres End. Say what the system is doing and whether it shows a code, and we’ll advise on the next step.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so it’s worth checking. Keep every service record either way.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, always. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We’re also Checkatrade members.
Why does my air conditioning run but not cool?
There are several possible causes, from simple to serious. Diagnosis confirms the cause, then give you a fixed price to fix it.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
