What happens on the day
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your pictures or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive. Work in Durlock is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- You tell us the symptoms, the make and any error code.
- A diagnosis visit finds the cause with proper tests.
- The fault is explained simply and the repair priced up front.
- Once you’re happy, the repair is done and any refrigerant work recorded.
- The system is run and checked, and you get a written note of the repair.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow

A diagnosis call-out is from £75 + VAT. When the cause is found, the repair is priced before anything else is done and nothing goes ahead without your say-so. Common call-outs are for an error code or flashing light on the unit and frost on the pipework, across wall-mounted split systems, heat pumps and ceiling cassettes.

If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell 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.

Air conditioning repair around Durlock
Durlock’s centre falls inside a designated conservation area. Historic England lists about 9 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Durlock, including School Farm House (grade II*). That only matters for replacements, where a new outdoor unit on a protected building can need consent. VOA council tax data put about 37% of homes in the Durlock area before 1919, and the 2021 Census found about 78% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Access to the outdoor unit is the one detail that most changes how a visit is planned.

Your questions about air conditioning repair in Durlock
Is Durlock in your area for air conditioning repair?
Yes, Durlock is within the area we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Will you come out to Durlock?
Yes. Durlock is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. We always look before we price, either on a site survey or from photos and details for simple jobs. A fixed-price quote follows.
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 circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Do you work on all makes?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
Why is not my air con cooling?
Common causes are a blocked filter, the wrong mode or set temperature, an outdoor unit that cannot breathe, a failed sensor or board, or low refrigerant from a leak. Start by checking the filter and the mode, then give us a ring on 07833 053749 or email us if it’s still not cooling.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
How we price air conditioning repair
Typical ranges are on our prices page, and your quote is built on your job. The quote depends on:
- The size of the job
- The condition of any existing system
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
The cost depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, the access and what the work involves. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote

Common problems we fix in Durlock
When the fan runs but the air is not cold, there are some common causes: dirty filters, wrong settings, a blocked outdoor unit, a sensor or board fault, or a refrigerant leak. Diagnosis narrows it down.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A unit blowing warm air
- Water dripping from the indoor unit
- A system that won’t switch on
If a system fails at a school such as Ash Cartwright and Kelsey Church of England Primary School, our 24/7 line takes the call, and planned repairs can wait for the holidays.
