Air conditioning repair in Chartham Hatch, done properly
Wondering whether the fault is something simple? Check the filter, the mode, the set temperature and the remote’s batteries first, then call us on 07833 053749 or send an email if the problem is still there. You’ll hear back from us the same working day. The work covers ceiling cassettes, ducted systems and VRF systems, and people most often call us about a unit blowing warm air and ice on the pipework or the coil.
Around Chartham Hatch, outdoor units often sit close to gardens and hedges, and a coil clogged with leaves or seeds is a common cause of weak cooling.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Chartham Hatch questions
Do you cover smaller places like Chartham Hatch?
Yes. Chartham Hatch is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Chartham Hatch?
Yes. Our 24/7 emergency line covers Chartham Hatch. Say what the system is doing and whether it shows a code, and we’ll advise on the next step.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Who has to arrange F-Gas 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 can tell you which band your system falls into.
How long does the work take?
That depends on what’s involved, but as a guide it takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. We’ll confirm it with the quote.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
When air con fails in Chartham Hatch
The last census (2021) found about 71% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Let us know where the outdoor unit sits and whether a ladder is needed to reach it. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 5 within half a mile of the centre, such as Pilgrim's Cottage (grade II). 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 The Canterbury Academy, urgent repairs can be booked right away and bigger work in the holidays.

System by system
Wall-mounted split systems
Wall-mounted splits are the systems we repair most often. Drains, coils, fans, sensors and leaks account for many of the faults and the diagnosis starts with the fault code and the symptoms.
Condensate drains and pumps
The drain is cleared, the pump tested and the fall checked until the condensate runs away properly. Failed pumps are replaced and tested before we go.
How the visit works
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before we start so it doesn’t catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Chartham Hatch.
- Describe the problem and the brand, and mention any code on the display.
- On the diagnosis visit, we test the electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant.
- The fault is explained simply and the repair priced up front.
- With your go-ahead, we carry out the repair, recording any refrigerant work.
- The system is run and checked, and you get a written note of the repair.
How to prepare
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
Get a fixed-price quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.
Related advice
Do you need air conditioning repair in Chartham Hatch?
An error code is the unit’s own diagnosis, in shorthand. Codes differ by brand, and one code can cover several faults so the code is a starting point, not the answer. Sensors, communication faults between the units and circuit boards are frequent culprits.
What we are most often called about:
- A system that runs but doesn’t cool the room
- A system that keeps cutting out
- Water dripping from the indoor unit
The make, model and error code are the most useful things to tell us.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why
- Whether the quote is a fixed price
- Whether the quote shows VAT clearly
What affects the quote in Chartham Hatch
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- The number of rooms, units or zones
One room or a whole building, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the equipment. You will have a fixed price before any work starts, and the quote sets out the VAT.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
For a fixed-price quote, call us on 07833 053749 with the address and a few details about the rooms or units involved. A few photos make it quicker. We reply to enquiries the same working day.
