How we handle air conditioning repair in Great Tew
Older systems raise a fair question: repair or replace?. A system with a failed fan motor may be well worth repairing, while one with a failed compressor might not be. You get an honest view based on the fault, the parts, the refrigerant and the room. The work covers heat pumps, multi-split systems and ducted systems, and common reasons people get in touch are a unit that won’t start and a fault code on the display.
Outdoor units in a place like Great Tew can be near hedges and fields, and a coil clogged with leaves or seeds is a common cause of weak cooling.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send 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.

What the work involves, system by system
Fans and compressors
Fans are the moving parts most likely to wear, often starting with a noise or weaker airflow. Indoor and outdoor fan motors can normally be replaced where the parts are available.
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 the diagnosis covers each of them.
The process
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. So on the day, you don’t need a separate electrician for the electrical side. On site, it takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive. Visits to Great Tew are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First the diagnosis: fault codes read, electrics and airflow checked, drain and refrigerant tested.
- Prescribe: tell you the cause and the fixed cost of the cure.
- Where a repair doesn’t make sense, you’ll hear it from us, with the alternatives.
- The treatment: the repair itself, with any leak found and fixed before recharging.
- Sign off: prove it works and record the visit.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
Getting a price
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from photos and measurements. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.

The middle of Great Tew is part of the Great Tew Conservation Area. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 67 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of St Michael and All Angels (grade I). Day-to-day work on an existing system isn’t affected; a replacement outdoor unit on a protected building might be. About 41% of homes in Great Tew and the neighbourhoods around it were built before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and the 2021 Census found about 78% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Tell us where your outdoor unit is and how to reach it, so we can plan the visit.

Common questions in Great Tew
Is Great Tew in your area for air conditioning repair?
Yes, Great Tew is within the area we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Is Great Tew within the area you cover?
Yes. Great Tew is within the area we cover across London and the South East. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump 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 is there ice on my air conditioning pipes?
It normally points to poor airflow or a refrigerant leak. A clogged filter, a fan problem or a leak are typical. Switch the system off, let it thaw and ring us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
How quickly will you reply?
You will hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
How much is an air conditioning call-out?
The first step is a diagnosis, from £75 + VAT, and then you get a fixed price for the repair. Nothing goes ahead without your agreement.
