Air conditioning repair in Hawkinge, done properly
A sealed system shouldn’t lose refrigerant, so a low charge means a leak somewhere. Simply adding gas means it will leak away again. We locate the leak, repair it, test, evacuate and recharge, then record it in the F-Gas records. The work covers ducted systems, wall-mounted split systems and multi-split systems, and common reasons people get in touch are weak airflow from the indoor unit and a unit blowing warm air.
For a repair near Hawkinge, we bring the common parts and tools for the make you have, and if a part has to be ordered, we tell you the price before we fit it.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Common problems we fix in Hawkinge
When ice forms on the pipes or coil, something else is wrong. Low airflow from blocked filters or a failing fan, or low refrigerant from a leak, are the common causes. Turn it off and let the ice melt, then call us.
These are the situations we see most often:
- A system that keeps cutting out
- Air conditioning running but not cooling
- A unit that has lost refrigerant
When cooling fails at a school like The Churchill School, we can time non-urgent repair work around lessons.

Questions from Hawkinge
Do you cover smaller places like Hawkinge?
Yes. Hawkinge is within the area we cover across London and the South East. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Hawkinge?
The emergency line is open around the clock, and Hawkinge is one of the places it covers. Tell us the make, model and any error code when you call; repair call-outs start from £75 + VAT.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Hawkinge and across Kent. Let us know who the records should go to.
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.
When will I hear back?
You will hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Can you repair an R22 air conditioning system?
Most of the time, we recommend replacement. R22 can’t be topped up with new gas, and parts for old models are scarce, so a new system on a modern refrigerant is normally the better investment.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
How the job changes from property to property
Refrigerant leaks
If the charge is low, there’s a leak somewhere. The leak is found and fixed, then the circuit is tested, evacuated and recharged and every step is recorded.
VRF systems
On larger VRF systems, the refrigerant charge can be big enough to need regular leak checks under the F-gas rules. Any leak we find and repair is recorded for the operator’s records.
How it works
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. On site, it takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive. A few pictures let us plan a visit to a place like Hawkinge.
- We start with what the unit is doing, the make and any code.
- On the diagnosis visit, we test the electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant.
- You get the cause explained and a fixed price for the repair.
- Once agreed, the repair goes ahead.
- It’s tested running, and the write-up is left with you.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
