Advice
About our air conditioning repair in Crofton
Across Crofton, every repair begins with a diagnosis: fault codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant are all checked. Then we explain what’s wrong and give you a fixed price to put it right. The work covers ducted systems, wall-mounted split systems and VRF systems, and the jobs we see most are water leaking from the unit or through the ceiling and weak airflow from the indoor unit.
In a managed building in Crofton, the repair may need booking through the agent or building manager, so let us know who needs to know we’re coming. Outdoor units on roofs may need a key, a permit or an escort, and we plan for that before we arrive.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Common problems we fix in Crofton
Error codes are the system telling you it has found a fault. Each manufacturer uses its own codes, and the same code can have more than one cause, so we read the code and then test to confirm. Common causes include sensors, wiring between the units and the circuit boards.
Look out for any of the following:
- Ice on the pipework or the coil
- A suspected refrigerant leak
- Air conditioning running but not cooling
Shops and offices around Orpington station often can’t wait for cooling to come back, which is what the 24/7 line is for.
What your quote should include
- Whether they looked at the job before pricing it
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
Leave it or put it right?
Faults do not fix themselves. A fault ignored in spring is still there in summer and it’s easier to deal with before you depend on it. In a London building, getting the freeholder’s or agent’s agreement can take a while, so it’s worth starting early.
One room or a whole building, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. The price is fixed before work begins, and the quote sets out the VAT.

Questions from Crofton
Can you do air conditioning repair in Crofton?
Yes. Crofton is one of the places we cover. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us a line with a few details.
Can I get a fixed-price quote for air conditioning repair in Crofton?
Use the quote form, or email, with a description of the job. Simple jobs can be priced from photos; otherwise we arrange a site survey and then give you a fixed-price quote.
Why is there ice on my air conditioning pipes?
Ice is a symptom of low airflow or low refrigerant. Blocked filters, a failing fan or a leak are the common causes. Switch the system off, let it thaw and phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email.
What does the error code on my air conditioning mean?
Each manufacturer uses its own codes, and one code can have more than one cause. Tell us the code, the make and the model and we’ll test the system to confirm the cause.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before we start, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
How soon will you get back to me?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.

4 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Crofton. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 4 within half a mile of the centre, such as Crofton Court (grade II). Swapping an outdoor unit on a listed building or in a conservation area may need consent, so we’ll flag it if a replacement is needed. Valuation Office Agency council tax records date about 57% of homes in and around Crofton to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 75% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Access to the outdoor unit is the one detail that most changes how a visit is planned. In London, access to outdoor units on roofs and balconies can need planning, so tell us how to reach yours.

Keeping the system healthy
A little care keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Book an annual service after the repair
- Do not keep resetting a breaker that trips
- If there’s ice on the pipes, switch off and let it melt
If a repair doesn’t make sense, you will hear it from us, with the reasons. If replacement is the better option, we can quote for it on the same visit.
Clean the filters regularly. Blocked filters cut airflow, which can lead to poor cooling, ice on the coil and drips and the manual shows how to clean them.
