About our air conditioning repair in Boldre
When air conditioning stops cooling, leaks water or shows an error code, the symptom rarely tells you the cause. A unit blowing warm air might have a blocked filter, a failed sensor, a fault on the circuit board or a refrigerant leak, so we diagnose before we repair. If the problem is a suspected refrigerant leak and drips from the indoor unit, we can help.
In a village like Boldre, 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. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Don’t 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.
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after it is simple, and it helps at the next service:
- If there’s ice on the pipes, switch off and let it melt
- Only let an F-Gas qualified engineer work on the refrigerant
- Send us a photo of any code on the display
If a repair does not make sense, you will hear it from us, with the reasons. We can quote for a replacement system on the same visit where that is the better answer.
Filter cleaning is the simplest prevention there is. Blocked filters cut airflow, which can lead to poor cooling, ice on the coil and drips, so keep them clean as the manual describes.
Common problems we fix in Boldre
When ice forms on the pipes or coil, something else is wrong. It typically points to poor airflow, such as a clogged filter or a fan problem, or to a refrigerant leak. Turn it off and let the ice melt, then call us.
These are the situations we see most often:
- A unit that barely blows any air
- A unit that has lost refrigerant
- Ice forming on the indoor unit or pipes
If the display shows a code, write it down: it helps narrow down the fault.

What happens on the day
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we have done. For a place like Boldre, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- Diagnosis comes first: codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant.
- Then the prescription: what’s wrong and what it will cost to put right.
- If the repair isn’t worth doing, we say so and explain the options.
- Then the fix, with leaks repaired before any refrigerant is added.
- Sign off: prove it works and record the visit.
Before we arrive
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go

Advice
Your questions about air conditioning repair in Boldre
Do you cover Boldre for emergency air conditioning repairs?
Yes. Our 24/7 emergency line covers Boldre. Tell us the make, model and any error code when you call; repair call-outs start from £75 + VAT.
Is Boldre within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Why is water dripping from my indoor unit?
Typically a blocked or kinked condensate drain, a failed condensate pump or a unit that is not level. Ice on the coil from low airflow or low refrigerant can also melt and drip. Turn it off and phone 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
What does an air con repair cost?
The first step is a diagnosis, from £75 + VAT, and then you get a fixed price for the repair. Nothing goes ahead without your agreement.
My system uses R22. Can it be repaired?
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 normally the better investment.
What does the error code on my air conditioning mean?
Codes differ by brand, and the same code can cover several faults. Send us a photo of the display with the make and model and we’ll test the system to confirm the cause.
