How we handle air conditioning repair in East Dulwich
Older systems raise a fair question: repair or replace?. A system with a failed fan motor may be well worth repairing, while one with a failed compressor might not be. You get an honest view based on the fault, the parts, the refrigerant and the room. If the problem is water dripping from the indoor unit and a unit that barely blows any air, we can sort it out.
Many buildings in East Dulwich have a managing agent or security desk, 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.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer and it’s worth keeping safe.

Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Write down the fault code if there is one
- Check the filter, the mode and the set temperature before calling us
- Clear debris away from the outdoor fan
A returning symptom is worth reporting quickly. Let us know what the system is doing and any code on the display, and we’ll look into it.
Sensible use helps. Moderate settings and a closed room mean less strain and the system doesn’t have to work as hard.

System by system
Multi-split systems
With several pipe runs, finding a leak on a multi-split takes method. We test each run to find it before the system is repaired, tested and recharged.
Circuit boards and sensors
Circuit boards and temperature sensors control how the system runs. Sensor faults can stop the system or confuse it, and boards can fail after a power surge or with age.
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, if the manual says so. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Your questions about air conditioning repair in East Dulwich
How do I get a quote for air conditioning repair in East Dulwich?
Start with a short message: the address, what you need and a picture or two. We reply the same working day, and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Is there an emergency air con repair line for East Dulwich?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in East Dulwich. Say what the system is doing and whether it shows a code, and we’ll advise on the next step.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
Why is there ice on my air conditioning pipes?
The coil gets too cold when air can’t move across it or when the refrigerant charge is low. Check the filter first, and if it’s clean, the system needs a diagnosis.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We are also Checkatrade members.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For simple jobs, pictures and a few details can be enough, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
How it works
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. The work itself takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. Let us know who controls access to the building in East Dulwich, as that saves time on the day.
- Diagnosis comes first: codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant.
- Next, a plain explanation and a fixed price.
- Where a repair does not make sense, you’ll hear it from us, with the alternatives.
- Then the fix, with leaks repaired before any refrigerant is added.
- The sign-off: the system tested in operation and the work recorded.
How to prepare
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
