Air conditioning repair in Five Wents
We treat a faulty system the way a doctor treats a patient: diagnose the cause, treat it properly and sign it off when it’s working. Guesswork costs money, and topping up refrigerant on a system with a blocked filter fixes nothing. If you are dealing with rattling, buzzing or grinding noises and frost on the pipework, we can sort it out.
We plan the trip to Five Wents so the repair can be finished in one visit where possible, though some parts have to be ordered from the manufacturer.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

After we have gone
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Rule out the simple causes first: filter, mode and temperature
- Note any error code, or take a photo of the display
- Ask for the leak to be found, not just a top-up
Keep the filters clean and the outdoor unit clear after the repair: clean filters every few weeks in heavy use and space around the outdoor unit. An annual service is the best way to catch the next fault before it stops the system.
Sensible use helps. Choose the right mode and a moderate set temperature, and keep doors and windows closed while it runs, so it isn’t running flat out all day.

Common questions in Five Wents
Do you cover Five Wents for emergency air conditioning repairs?
The emergency line is open around the clock, and Five Wents is one of the places it covers. Say what the system is doing and whether it shows a code, and we will advise on the next step.
Do you cover Five Wents for air conditioning repair?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Five Wents is part of that. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
My system uses R22. Can it be repaired?
R22 is an ozone-depleting refrigerant, and new R22 cannot be used for servicing. Some non-refrigerant faults can be repaired if parts are available, but a refrigerant leak typically means replacement. We’ll set out the options and quote for a replacement where it makes sense.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Five Wents and across Kent. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts before we leave.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. It’s worth checking before booking, and we’re happy to show ours.
Are you F-Gas certified?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, and we are Checkatrade members. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
The process
The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. It takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find, and we tidy up before we leave. Somewhere like Five Wents, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- You describe the fault, the make and any error code, ideally with a photo.
- On the diagnosis visit, the engineer tests the system rather than guessing.
- You get a plain explanation of the fault and a fixed price for putting it right.
- The repair is carried out, and any refrigerant work is leak tested and recorded.
- Finally the system is tested in operation and you get a note of the fault and the fix.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Tell us about parking and loading

How we price air conditioning repair
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The brand, model and parts involved
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
A single unit or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the equipment. You will have a fixed price before any work starts, with VAT shown clearly.
What we need to know
Simple jobs can often be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
- The make and model of the system, from the label
To get a fixed-price quote, phone us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with the address and a few details about the rooms or units involved. A few pictures make it quicker. We reply to enquiries the same working day.
What air conditioning repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A leak on an old R22 system
- A unit that was never big enough for the room
- A room that overheats because of the building, such as a lack of shading or ventilation (the system may need help, not a repair)
If you are not sure, just ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
