What the work involves, system by system
Multi-split systems
Refrigerant leaks on a multi-split can be anywhere on several pipe runs. Each run is checked before the system is repaired, tested and recharged.
Wall-mounted split systems
The single split is the most common system we are called to. Typical faults include blocked drains, dirty coils and filters, failed fan motors, sensor faults and refrigerant leaks, and most are diagnosed on the first visit.

Five Oaks: your questions answered
Do you cover Five Oaks for air conditioning repair?
We do: Five Oaks falls inside our working area. To start, call 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few pictures.
Will you come out to Five Oaks?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Why isn’t my air con cooling?
It can be anything from a dirty filter to a refrigerant leak. Diagnosis confirms the cause, then give you a fixed price to fix it.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. We always look before we price, on a survey, or from your pictures and details where the job is simple. A fixed-price quote follows.
Is it legal to repair an R410A system?
Yes. Any leak is repaired before recharging, and the work is recorded, and we tell you honestly whether a repair is worth it on an older system.
When air con fails in Five Oaks
The last census (2021) found about 81% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Let us know where the outdoor unit sits and whether a ladder is needed to reach it. About 4 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Five Oaks, Smithy House (grade II) among them. 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.
When cooling fails at a school like The Weald School, we can time non-urgent repair work around lessons. The make, model and error code are the most useful things to tell us.

- Nothing is repaired until you’ve heard what’s wrong and agreed a fixed price.
- With your agreement the part is replaced or the fault put right, and refrigerant work goes in the F-Gas log.
- Finally the system is tested in operation and you get a note of the fault and the fix.

Advice
What affects the cost of air conditioning repair
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- The brand, model and parts involved
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Send what you can of the following:
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- The make and model of the system, from the label
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
What a customer said
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
