About our air conditioning repair in Fordham Heath
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. It does not matter who installed it, so tell us the make and model if you know it. If the problem is a fault code on the display and rattling, buzzing or grinding noises, we can sort it out.
In a village like Fordham Heath, most air conditioning we repair is in homes, garden rooms and the occasional pub or village business. Describe the fault and send a photo of the unit’s label so we can plan the visit.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order, and every service is written up.

How we price air conditioning repair
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed price.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

Why does my air conditioning run but not cool?
There are several possible causes, from simple to serious. Diagnosis confirms the cause, then give you a fixed price to fix it.
Which brands do you work with?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
How long does the work take?
The work itself takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. Bigger or more complicated systems take longer, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
What does an air con repair cost?
A diagnosis call-out is from £75 + VAT. When we’ve found the fault, the repair is priced before we do it. The final cost depends on the fault, the parts and the access.
What warranty do I get?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer, so keep your service records.
After we have gone
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. A few tips:
- Don’t keep resetting a breaker that trips
- Only let an F-Gas qualified engineer work on the refrigerant
- Keep to the service interval the manufacturer recommends
Keep the filters clean and the outdoor unit clear after the repair: clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should. A yearly service catches problems before they become breakdowns.
Sensible use helps. Choose the right mode and a moderate set temperature, and keep doors and windows closed while it runs, so it is not running flat out all day.

What else we do in Fordham Heath
For landlords and property managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed-price quote.
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is, and we can work for either side.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby and nothing is moved without asking you. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. The work on site takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts, and we clear up before we go. If a lane or gateway near Fordham Heath is tight for a van, let us know and we’ll plan for it.
- We start with what the unit is doing, the make and any code.
- The engineer diagnoses the fault on site, testing rather than guessing.
- We explain the cause in plain English and give you a fixed price.
- Once agreed, the repair goes ahead.
- The system is run and checked, and you get a written note of the repair.
Before we arrive
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
Getting a price
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 simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
