Common problems we fix in Folkington
Leaks tend to start where pipes are joined: flare connections, brazed joints and valves, or pipework damaged or rubbed through by vibration. Coils can corrode and leak too, and a slow leak can go unnoticed until the system stops cooling.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Water leaking from the unit or through the ceiling
- Ice forming on the indoor unit or pipes
- A unit that has lost refrigerant
When cooling fails at a school like Willingdon Community School, we can time non-urgent repair work around lessons.
What to look for in a quote
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted
- If the figure could change on the day
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
How we handle air conditioning repair in Folkington
We repair air conditioning on all the main brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Systems fitted by other installers are fine too, so tell us the make and model if you know it. If you’re dealing with water leaking from the unit or through the ceiling and a unit that has lost refrigerant, we can sort it out.
In a village like Folkington, most air conditioning we repair is in homes, garden rooms and the occasional pub or village business. A photo of the unit’s label and a description of the fault help us plan.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Your questions about air conditioning repair in Folkington
Is Folkington within the area you cover?
Yes. Folkington is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.

Do you work on all makes?

What does the error code on my air conditioning mean?
An error code points us in the right direction, but it isn’t the whole answer. Note the code and switch the system off if it isn’t working, then call us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
How soon will you get back to me?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
How we price air conditioning repair
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
Every job is different, so we price each one individually. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all play a part.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- The make and model of the system, from the label
To get a fixed-price quote, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and tell us about the property and what you need. Photos help a lot. You’ll hear back from us the same working day.
What happens on the day
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. On the day, both are in the same hands. The work takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. Somewhere like Folkington, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- First the diagnosis: fault codes read, electrics and airflow checked, drain and refrigerant tested.
- Then the prescription: what’s wrong and what it will cost to put right.
- If the repair is not worth doing, we say so and explain the options.
- Then the fix, with leaks repaired before any refrigerant is added.
- Sign off: prove it works and record the visit.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in

Related advice
Looking after your system
Simple habits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Turn the system off if it’s dripping water
- Check the filter, the mode and the set temperature before calling us
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves and clutter
You get a note of the fault and what we did: the cause, the parts fitted and any refrigerant added or recovered. Refrigerant work goes into the F-Gas records and it belongs with the system’s paperwork.
Don’t ignore early signs. 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.
