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. The work covers heat pumps, multi-split systems and wall-mounted split systems, and common reasons people get in touch are drips from the indoor unit and weak airflow from the indoor unit.
Around East Malling, most of our repairs are in homes, with some small businesses. What you tell us about the fault shapes the visit, so a description and a photo of any error code really help.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

How the job changes from property to property
Ducted and cassette systems
If water is coming through the ceiling, switch the unit off and call us. The cause is usually the condensate pump, a blocked drain or a tray that’s overflowing, and we check all three.
Refrigerant leaks
Adding refrigerant without a repair is not a fix, and it releases more refrigerant into the air. We always find and fix the leak first.

After we’ve gone
So the system stays in good health:
- If there’s ice on the pipes, switch off and let it melt
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Turn the system off if it’s dripping water
After a repair, the basics matter: clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should. An annual service is the best way to catch the next fault before it stops the system.
Small changes are worth acting on. A drip, a new noise, a weaker airflow or an occasional error code is often the first sign of a fault and catching it early keeps the repair simpler.

What happens on the day
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, the work takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. Visits to a place like East Malling are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the job needs.
- First, a few questions by phone or email about the brand, the fault and anything shown on the controller.
- We diagnose on site, checking the codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant pressures.
- You get a plain explanation of the fault and a fixed price for putting it right.
- The fix goes in, with any refrigerant work tested and written into the F-Gas records.
- Finally the system is tested in operation and you get a note of the fault and the fix.

- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Let us know where the consumer unit is

How to get a quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We can quote either party, and the paperwork can go to both.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed-price quote.
Questions from East Malling
Is there an emergency air con repair line for East Malling?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in East Malling. Say what the system is doing and whether it shows a code, and we’ll advise on the next step.
Do you cover smaller places like East Malling?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in East Malling and across Kent. Let us know who the records should go to.
Why is my air conditioning blowing warm air?
It can be anything from a dirty filter to a refrigerant leak. We read any fault code and test the system to find which, then give you a fixed price to fix it.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
How long will you be on site?
Your quote will say how long we expect to be there. Most of the time, it takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
