Basted questions
Will you come out to Basted?
Yes. Basted is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do you cover Basted for air conditioning repair?
Yes, Basted is within the area we cover. Just phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email with a few details.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so it’s worth checking. Either way, keep a record of every service.
What causes ice on the indoor coil?
Ice is a symptom of low airflow or low refrigerant. A clogged filter, a fan problem or a leak are typical. Turn it off, let the ice melt and ring us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Is it legal to repair an R410A system?
Yes. Repairing and recharging existing R410A systems is still legal. As the GB phase-down continues, R410A is getting harder and dearer to buy and we talk through repair against replacement for older systems.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
How we handle air conditioning repair in Basted
Faults on all the leading makes are part of our everyday work, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. It doesn’t matter who installed it and the make and model help us prepare. If the problem is a system that runs but doesn’t cool the room and water leaking from the unit or through the ceiling, we can help.
Around Basted, outdoor units often sit close to gardens and hedges, and a coil clogged with leaves or seeds is a common cause of weak cooling.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

What we’re called out for in Basted
Noises typically have a mechanical cause. Fan bearings, loose casing, leaves or debris in the outdoor unit and vibrating pipework are typical causes and some point to a compressor problem.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- A system that runs but does not cool the room
- Drips from the indoor unit
- Poor airflow even with clean filters
When cooling fails at a school like Borough Green Primary School, we can time non-urgent repair work around lessons.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
- Whether the quote shows VAT clearly
- What records you get at the end

The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
A single unit or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. You will have a fixed price before we start, with VAT shown clearly.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from pictures and measurements. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
