The process
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. So on the day, you do not need a separate electrician for the electrical side. The work takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. Visits to a place like Chafford Hundred are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the job needs.
- We start with what the unit is doing, the make and any code.
- A diagnosis visit finds the cause with proper tests.
- You get the cause explained and a fixed price for the repair.
- Once agreed, the repair goes ahead.
- The system is run and checked, and you get a written note of the repair.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
If your system uses R22, the options are narrower. R22 is an ozone-depleting refrigerant and new R22 can’t be used for servicing, so a refrigerant fault on an R22 system usually points to replacement. We’ll tell you honestly and quote for a replacement if it makes sense. For a place like Chafford Hundred, booking ahead lets us plan the visit properly.
Every job is different, so we price each one individually. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all make a difference.

FAQs for Chafford Hundred
Will you come out to Chafford Hundred?
Yes. Chafford Hundred is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do you cover Chafford Hundred for emergency air conditioning repairs?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in Chafford Hundred. Say what the system is doing and whether it shows a code, and we’ll advise on the next step.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so check the terms or ask us. Either way, keep a record of every service.
What causes water to leak from an air conditioning 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. Switch the unit off and call 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
Do you work on all makes?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and tell you why.
My system uses R22. Can it be repaired?
Replacement is normally the better answer. New R22 cannot be used to service systems, and parts for older units are getting harder to find, so a new system on a modern refrigerant is usually the better investment.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
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.
How the job changes from property to property
Circuit boards and sensors
Boards and sensors are the system’s nervous system. A failed sensor can make a unit stop, run oddly or show an error code, and boards can fail after a power surge or with age.
Refrigerant leaks
Adding refrigerant without a repair isn’t a fix and the gas simply leaks out again. We always find and fix the leak first.
