How we price air conditioning repair
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- The brand, model and parts involved
- A single visit or a regular plan
No two properties are the same, so we price each one individually. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
Good photos often save a visit. The most useful are:
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- Any previous service or F-Gas records

About our air conditioning repair in Charlton
We repair air conditioning on all the main brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Systems fitted by other installers are fine too and the make and model help us prepare. If the problem is an error code or flashing light on the unit and a suspected refrigerant leak, we can help.
In a village like Charlton, most air conditioning we repair is in homes, garden rooms and the occasional pub or village business. A photo of the unit’s label and a description of the fault help us plan.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

How the visit works
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. For a village like Charlton, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- Tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and send a photo of the display if you can.
- On the diagnosis visit, the engineer tests the system rather than guessing.
- Once the cause is found, we explain it and fix the price for the repair.
- With your agreement the part is replaced or the fault put right, and refrigerant work goes in the F-Gas log.
- Finally the system is tested in operation and you get a note of the fault and the fix.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Let us know where we can park and unload

Common questions in Charlton
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Charlton out of hours?
Charlton is within our area, and the emergency line is open 24/7. Have the make, model and error code ready, and we will talk you through what happens next.
Is Charlton within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so it’s worth checking. Either way, keep a record of every service.
When will I hear back?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Will you make a mess?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
What causes water to leak from an air conditioning unit?
Most leaks come from a blocked drain, a failed pump or a unit that has dropped out of level. Ice that forms on the coil and melts can cause drips too. Turn it off and ring us on 07833 053749.
What accreditations do you have?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. We are also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
For landlords and property managers
For anyone managing more than one building, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Each property gets its own records, so the files stay tidy.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed-price quote.
Air conditioning repair around Charlton
The 2021 Census found about 71% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. If the outdoor unit is high up or behind a locked gate, mention it when you book. Charlton’s centre falls inside the Charlton Conservation Area. There are 2 conservation areas within a mile of the centre of Charlton. Fox Hall, listed at grade II*, is one of roughly 21 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Charlton’s centre. Swapping an outdoor unit on a listed building or in a conservation area may need consent, so we will flag it if a replacement is needed.
When cooling fails at a school like Singleton CofE Primary School, we can time non-urgent repair work around lessons. If the display shows a code, write it down: it helps narrow down the fault.

Different systems, different jobs
Refrigerant leaks
If the charge is low, there’s a leak somewhere. We find it, repair it, pressure test the circuit, evacuate it and recharge to the manufacturer’s charge and every step is recorded.
Ducted and cassette systems
Water through a ceiling below a cassette or ducted unit needs prompt attention. A failed pump, a blocked drain or an overflowing tray is typically behind it and the diagnosis covers each of them.
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.”
