Air conditioning repair for homes and businesses in East Ham
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. We are often asked to deal with a flashing light and a system that won’t run and new noises from the system, on ceiling cassettes, ducted systems and VRF systems.
Air conditioning repairs in East Ham are often in flats, offices and shops, where the outdoor unit may be on a balcony, a rear wall or the roof. Telling us where the outdoor unit is and how we reach it saves time on the visit.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: 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.

When to call us in East Ham
Ice on the pipework or the indoor coil is a symptom, not the fault. It normally points to poor airflow, such as a clogged filter or a fan problem, or to a refrigerant leak. Turn it off and let the ice melt, then call us.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Frost on the pipework
- A flashing light and a system that will not run
- A unit that will not start
Schools such as St Michael's Catholic Primary School can report a fault on the 24/7 line and have non-urgent work done out of term.

East Ham: your questions answered
Do you cover East Ham for air conditioning repair?
Yes. East Ham is one of the places we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
How do I get a quote for air conditioning repair in East Ham?
Start with a short message: the address, what you need and a picture or two. Where photos aren’t enough, a survey comes first and the fixed-price quote follows.
What causes water to leak from an air conditioning unit?
The condensate drain or pump is the usual cause: a blocked pipe, a kinked hose or a failed pump. Turn the system off to stop the water and give us a call.
How soon will you get back to me?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do you offer an emergency repair service?
Yes. We have a 24/7 emergency line for urgent breakdowns. Ring 07833 053749 with the make, what’s happening and any code and we’ll talk you through what happens next.
Can you repair an R22 air conditioning system?
Servicing with new R22 is not allowed, because it depletes the ozone layer. A fault that does not involve the refrigerant may still be repairable, depending on parts, but a refrigerant leak typically means replacement. We explain the options and quote for a new system if that’s the answer.
Do you work on commercial properties?
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.
What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: check the plan with you, put the dust sheets down, carry out the job, check the system and explain it all to you. The visit itself takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. Some blocks in East Ham need contractor details in advance, so tell us what your building needs.
- Diagnosis comes first: codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant.
- Then the prescription: what’s wrong and what it will cost to put right.
- If the repair isn’t worth doing, we say so and explain the options.
- Treat: carry out the repair, sealing any leak before refrigerant goes back in.
- Finally, a check that it’s working and a record of what we did.
Getting ready for the visit
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Tell us about parking and loading
How to get a quote
Getting a quote is straightforward. Call or email with a few details and we will come back to you the same working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits you.

Air conditioning repair around East Ham
Valuation Office Agency council tax records put about 55% of homes in the East Ham area before 1919, and the last census (2021) found about 45% of households in terraced houses. With a terrace, access to the rear for the outdoor unit is the main thing to tell us. In London, access to outdoor units on roofs and balconies can need planning, so tell us how to reach yours. East Ham’s centre is no more than about a third of a mile from the East Ham Town Centre Conservation Area. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 11 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of St Mary Magdalene (grade I). We keep it in mind in case a new outdoor unit is ever needed, as protected buildings can need consent for that.
Before you call, note what the unit is doing and any code on the controller.
