About our air conditioning repair in Boxley
A sealed system shouldn’t lose refrigerant, so a low charge means a leak somewhere. Simply adding gas means it will leak away again. We find and fix the leak, pressure test, evacuate and recharge to the manufacturer’s charge, then record it in the F-Gas records. The work covers VRF systems, ceiling cassettes and wall-mounted split systems, and people most often call us about a unit that has lost refrigerant and an error code or flashing light on the unit.
A visit to Boxley is planned so we can normally finish in one go, though some parts have to be ordered from the manufacturer.
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, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Common problems we fix in Boxley
When ice forms on the pipes or coil, something else is wrong. Low airflow from blocked filters or a failing fan, or low refrigerant from a leak, are the common causes. Turn it off and let the ice melt, then call us.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Drips from the indoor unit
- A system that will not switch on
- A system that needs topping up again
The rating label on the unit gives the model number, which helps us bring the right parts.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted
The process
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before any work starts, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Boxley.
- It starts with the symptoms: what the unit is doing, the make and any code on the display.
- On the diagnosis visit, the engineer tests the system rather than guessing.
- You get a plain explanation of the fault and a fixed price for putting it right.
- We repair the fault, and where refrigerant is involved, the leak is found and fixed before recharging.
- Finally the system is tested in operation and you get a note of the fault and the fix.
How to prepare
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas

Advice
More services for Boxley
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is straightforward, and it helps at the next service:
- Stop the unit if water is coming through a ceiling
- Don’t keep resetting a breaker that trips
- Keep to the service interval the manufacturer recommends
Where a repair needs parts, we explain what’s been ordered and agree the return visit with you. Parts lead times depend on the supplier and we’ll keep you updated.
Book an annual service. The engineer cleans what you can’t reach and picks up problems before they cause a breakdown and that’s usually simpler than a breakdown repair.
Boxley: your questions answered
Is Boxley in your area for air conditioning repair?
Yes. Boxley is one of the places we cover. Just call us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few details.
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Boxley?
The emergency line is open around the clock, and Boxley is one of the places it covers. Have the make, model and error code ready, and we’ll talk you through what happens next.
Why is there ice on my air conditioning pipes?
When airflow drops or refrigerant is lost, the coil gets cold enough to ice. Check the filter first and if that is not it, we’ll find the cause.
Will you make a mess?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts before we leave.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
My air con is showing an error code. What should I do?
An error code points us in the right direction, but it is not the whole answer. Write down the code and turn the unit off if it has stopped, and give us a ring on 07833 053749 or email us.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than sell you work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- No power to the building at all
- An R22 system that has lost its refrigerant
- A system that was undersized for the room in the first place (that needs a bigger system, not a repair)
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Wall-mounted split systems
- Ceiling cassettes
- VRF systems
- Multi-split systems
- Heat pumps

What a repair looks like in Boxley
The last census (2021) found about 75% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Access to the outdoor unit is the one detail that most changes how a visit is planned. Roughly a third of a mile or less from central Boxley, you reach the Boxley Conservation Area. About 36 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Boxley, Church of St Mary and All Saints (grade I) among them. We keep it in mind in case a new outdoor unit is ever needed, as protected buildings can need consent for that.
For a school like Sandling Primary School, urgent repairs can be booked right away and bigger work in the holidays.

What a customer said
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
