FAQs for Ivy Chimneys
Will you come out to Ivy Chimneys?
Yes. Ivy Chimneys is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Ivy Chimneys?
The emergency line is open around the clock, and Ivy Chimneys is one of the places it covers. A diagnosis call-out starts from £75 + VAT, and knowing the brand and the symptoms helps us plan it.
How much is an air conditioning call-out?
It starts with a diagnosis call-out from £75 + VAT, followed by a fixed price for the repair. You decide before any repair work starts.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always look before we price, on a survey, or from your pictures and details where the job is simple. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
Which brands do you work with?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
Why is my air conditioning icing up?
The coil gets too cold when air can’t move across it or when the refrigerant charge is low. Check the filter first and if that is not it, we will find the cause.
What warranty do I get?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Book an annual service after the repair
- Write down the fault code if there is one
- Stop the unit if water is coming through a ceiling
The repair is written up: the cause, the parts fitted and any refrigerant added or recovered. Any refrigerant work is recorded in the F-Gas records, so keep the note with the system’s paperwork.
Book an annual service. A service cleans the coils and drain, checks the electrics and the refrigerant circuit and catches small faults early and that is usually simpler than a breakdown repair.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ivy Chimneys
Refrigerant supply is changing. Repairing and recharging existing R410A systems is still legal, but R410A is getting scarcer and dearer to buy as the GB phase-down tightens, so for older systems we compare the cost of a repair with a replacement. A system that is left with a fault, or without a service, typically costs more to run.
A single unit or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the equipment. The price is fixed before we start, with VAT shown clearly.
Why people in Ivy Chimneys choose us
- Diagnosis first, then a fixed price
- A 24/7 emergency line
