A diagnosis call-out is from £75 + VAT. When the cause is found, the repair is priced before anything else is done and nothing goes ahead without your say-so. The work covers VRF systems, heat pumps and ducted systems, and people most often call us about a suspected refrigerant leak and air conditioning running but not cooling.
For a shop or office in Guildford, a system that stops in a heatwave is a real problem. The emergency line is open 24/7, and repair call-outs start from £75 + VAT.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

Common problems we fix in Guildford
Water dripping from an indoor unit is typically about the condensate. A blocked or kinked drain, a failed pump or a unit that is not level are the usual causes, while ice that forms on the coil and then melts can also cause drips.
It’s time to call us if you are dealing with:
- Water leaking from the unit or through the ceiling
- Air conditioning running but not cooling
- Poor airflow even with clean filters
When cooling fails at a school like Sandfield Primary School, we can time non-urgent repair work around lessons.
Before you book anyone
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
- What paperwork you’ll receive afterwards
- Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning

Managing agents and facilities teams in Guildford
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
If you look after several properties, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Every address has its own paperwork, so the files stay tidy.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is straightforward, and it helps at the next service:
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Only let an F-Gas qualified engineer work on the refrigerant
- If the breaker trips twice, leave it off
Where a repair isn’t worth doing, we say so, with the reasons. If replacement is the better option, we can quote for it on the same visit.
Keep the outdoor unit clear. Anything blocking the outdoor unit makes the whole system strain and debris drawn into the fan can cause noise and damage.
Questions from Guildford
Can you do air conditioning repair in Guildford?
We do: Guildford falls inside our working area. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Guildford out of hours?
Guildford is within our area, and the emergency line is open 24/7. A diagnosis call-out starts from £75 + VAT, and knowing the brand and the symptoms helps us plan it.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
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 yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always look before we price, either on a site survey or from pictures and details for simple jobs. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Why is my air conditioning blowing warm air?
There are several possible causes, from simple to serious. Diagnosis confirms the cause and you get a fixed price before the repair.
How the visit works
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. On the day, both are in the same hands. On site, it takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive. Work at a business in Guildford can be split over a few visits so you keep trading.
- Diagnosis comes first: codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
