Owner checks or an engineer?
Do not move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrical side needs a competent person. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Air conditioning repair for homes and businesses in Biggin
Any repair we carry out in Biggin starts the same way: fault codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant are all checked. Then we explain what’s wrong and give you a fixed price to put it right. The work covers ceiling cassettes, VRF systems and multi-split systems, and people most often call us about a system that keeps cutting out and ice forming on the indoor unit or pipes.
In a village like Biggin, most air conditioning we repair is in homes, garden rooms and the occasional pub or village business. Describe the fault and send a photo of the unit’s label so we can plan the visit.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order and each visit is recorded.

Looking after your system
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Turn it off and let ice clear before the visit
- Ask for the leak to be found, not just a top-up
- Check the settings and the remote’s batteries first
You get a note of the fault and what we did: what was wrong, what was replaced and any refrigerant work. Refrigerant work goes into the F-Gas records and it belongs with the system’s paperwork.
Small changes are worth acting on. Drips, noises, weak airflow and error codes are early warnings, and early diagnosis normally means a smaller repair.
Air conditioning repairs in Biggin: local notes
The coast is only about 2 miles from Biggin. Salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor coils and connections, which is one of the things we check on a repair. About 3 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Biggin, Church of St Mary (grade I) among them. That only matters for replacements, where a new outdoor unit on a protected building can need consent. The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures date about 68% of homes in and around Biggin to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 40% of households live in terraced houses, according to the 2021 Census. On terraced streets, outdoor units are usually at the back, so tell us how we get to the rear of the property.
If the display shows a code, write it down: it helps narrow down the fault. When cooling fails at a school like Tilbury Pioneer Academy, we can time non-urgent repair work around lessons.

FAQs for Biggin
Is Biggin within the area you cover?
Yes. Biggin is within the area we cover across London and the South East. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Biggin out of hours?
Yes. Our 24/7 emergency line covers Biggin. Say what the system is doing and whether it shows a code, and we’ll advise on the next step.
Can you still repair R410A air conditioning?
Yes, repairs and recharges on existing R410A systems remain legal. As the GB phase-down continues, R410A is getting harder and dearer to buy, so for older systems we compare the cost of a repair with a replacement.
Why is my air conditioning blowing warm air?
There are several possible causes, from simple to serious. We read any fault code and test the system to find which, then give you a fixed price to fix it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
That depends on the brand. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim and we’ll tell you what your brand asks for.
Why is my air conditioning icing up?
Ice is a symptom of low airflow or low refrigerant. A clogged filter, a fan problem or a leak are typical. Switch the system off, let it thaw and call us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
How the visit works
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. For a village like Biggin, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First the diagnosis: fault codes read, electrics and airflow checked, drain and refrigerant tested.
- Prescribe: tell you the cause and the fixed cost of the cure.
- If the repair isn’t worth doing, we say so and explain the options.
- Treat: carry out the repair, sealing any leak before refrigerant goes back in.
- Finally, a check that it’s working and a record of what we did.
How to prepare
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
