Reasons to give us a call include:
- A system that will not switch on
- An error code or flashing light on the unit
- New noises from the system
Schools such as Becket Keys Church of England School can report a fault on the 24/7 line and have non-urgent work done out of term.

About our air conditioning repair in Brentwood
For breakdowns that cannot wait, there’s a 24/7 emergency line, from an overheating comms room to water leaking from a unit. Ring 07833 053749 with the make, what’s happening and any code, and we’ll agree the next steps. Common call-outs are for ice on the pipework or the coil and a unit that barely blows any air, across ceiling cassettes, multi-split systems and ducted systems.
Whether it’s a shop or a house in Brentwood, the system is an indoor unit, an outdoor unit and the pipework and wiring that join them. The fault can be at either end, or in between, which is why we test before we replace parts.
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.

What else we do in Brentwood
Questions from Brentwood
Do you cover Brentwood for emergency air conditioning repairs?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in Brentwood. Have the make, model and error code ready, and we will talk you through what happens next.
Is Brentwood in your area for air conditioning repair?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Brentwood is part of that. To start, call 07833 053749 or send an email with a few pictures.
When will I hear back?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
My air con is showing an error code. What should I do?
The code is the system’s own clue to the fault, but it isn’t the whole answer. Write down the code and turn the unit off if it has stopped, and ring us on 07833 053749 or email us.
Why isn’t my air con cooling?
Common causes are a blocked filter, the wrong mode or set temperature, an outdoor unit that can’t breathe, a failed sensor or board, or low refrigerant from a leak. Check the filter and the settings first, then call 07833 053749 or send an email if it’s still not cooling.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Before you call an engineer
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and ring 07833 053749 or email us.
When air con fails in Brentwood

What affects the quote in Brentwood
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The pipe route between the units
- How easy the units are to reach
- The condition of any existing system
One room or a whole building, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins, with VAT shown clearly.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
Every quote starts with a look at the job, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your pictures and details. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
What happens on the day
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. On site, it takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. Photos of the room and the outside wall help us plan a job in Brentwood.
- Diagnosis comes first: codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant.
- 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.
- The treatment: the repair itself, with any leak found and fixed before recharging.
- Finally, a check that it’s working and a record of what we did.
Before we arrive
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
