About our air conditioning repair in Colgate
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. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, heat pumps and multi-split systems, and the jobs we see most are a unit that has lost refrigerant and a noisy indoor or outdoor unit.
Outdoor units in a place like Colgate can be near hedges and fields, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs on the coil are worth checking first.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

Colgate questions
Do you cover Colgate for emergency air conditioning repairs?
The emergency line is open around the clock, and Colgate is one of the places it covers. Tell us the make, model and any error code when you call; repair call-outs start from £75 + VAT.
Do you cover smaller places like Colgate?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size across London and the South East. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
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.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
When to call us in Colgate
Refrigerant leaks often start at joints: joints, valves and sections of pipe worn by vibration or damage. Coils can corrode and leak too, and a slow leak can go unnoticed until the system stops cooling.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A flashing light and a system that will not run
- A system that runs but does not cool the room
- Ice on the pipework or the coil
For a school like Colgate Primary School, urgent repairs can be booked straight away and bigger work in the holidays.

What else we do in Colgate
For landlords and property managers
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated record, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
Why deal with it now?
If the system may still be under the manufacturer’s warranty, report the fault early. Send us the make, model and installation date and we’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply first. Planning ahead for a job in Colgate means we can bring everything needed.
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. The visit takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. For a place like Colgate, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We start with what the unit is doing, the make and any code.
- The engineer diagnoses the fault on site, testing rather than guessing.
- You get the cause explained and a fixed price for the repair.
- With your go-ahead, we carry out the repair, recording any refrigerant work.
- We test the system in operation and leave you a note of the fault and the fix.
Before we arrive
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
Getting a price
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. To get one, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
