About our air conditioning repair in Chalkhouse Green
A symptom is only a clue: warm air, drips and error codes can each have several causes. 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. We’re often asked to deal with a system that won’t switch on and a suspected refrigerant leak, across wall-mounted split systems, ceiling cassettes and ducted systems.
Around Chalkhouse Green, repairs tend to be home systems, garden rooms and a few businesses. A photo of the unit’s label and a description of the fault help us plan.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we are happy to talk you through them.

Work in Chalkhouse Green is booked in advance at a time that suits you.

What happens if it’s left?
Leaving a fault seldom makes it go away. A drip can turn into a damaged ceiling, and a slow leak can leave the compressor straining and early diagnosis normally keeps the repair simpler. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
A single unit or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. You will have a fixed price before any work starts, and the quote sets out the VAT.

Why is there ice on my air conditioning pipes?

Let and managed properties
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system and we are happy to deal with whoever it is.
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system is mostly common sense. Our tips:
- Have the system serviced once a year
- Stop the unit if water is coming through a ceiling
- Never add refrigerant yourself or let anyone top up without finding the leak
Once the fault is fixed, we test the system in operation. We confirm it’s working properly and look for anything else that needs attention, and we tell you about anything we noticed.
Give the outdoor unit space. Leaves, plants and stored items around it restrict airflow and make the system work harder, and debris can get into the fan.
