When air con fails in Keston
About 31% of homes in the Keston area were built between the wars, according to VOA council tax data, and Census 2021 figures found about 79% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Let us know where the outdoor unit sits and whether a ladder is needed to reach it. London repairs often depend on reaching the outdoor unit, so access details help us plan. The middle of Keston is part of the Keston Village Conservation Area. Draw a one-mile circle round the middle of Keston and it takes in 4 conservation areas. Historic England lists about 6 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Keston, including Leafy Grove House (grade II). For most visits that makes no difference. It only comes up when an outdoor unit has to be replaced on a protected building.
The make, model and error code are the most useful things to tell us. When cooling fails at a school like Keston Church of England Primary School, we can time non-urgent repair work around lessons.

Air conditioning repair in Keston
Diagnosis call-outs start from £75 + VAT. Once we know the cause, you get a fixed price for the repair before any work goes ahead and nothing goes ahead without your say-so. Common call-outs are for a system that runs but doesn’t cool the room and weak airflow from the indoor unit, on ducted systems, wall-mounted split systems and heat pumps.
In a London area like Keston, a lot of the systems we repair serve flats and small offices, where the outdoor unit may be on a balcony, a rear wall or the roof. Knowing where the outdoor unit sits, and how to get to it, helps us plan the repair.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we are happy to talk you through them.

More services for Keston
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. It takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive, and we clear up before we go. If your building in Keston has a managing agent, a concierge or sign-in rules, mention them when you book.
- First the diagnosis: fault codes read, electrics and airflow checked, drain and refrigerant tested.
- Then the prescription: what’s wrong and what it will cost to put right.
- If the repair is not worth doing, we say so and explain the options.
- Then the fix, with leaks repaired before any refrigerant is added.
- Sign off: prove it works and record the visit.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Let us know where we can park and unload
How to get a quote
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. 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.
Advice
What air conditioning repair cannot fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A power cut or a fault on the incoming supply to the building (that’s for the network operator)
- Cooling that falls short because the system is too small
- A refrigerant fault on an R22 system (new R22 cannot be used for servicing, so replacement is usually the answer)
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on in Keston
- Wall-mounted split systems
- Ducted systems
- Multi-split systems
- VRF systems
- Heat pumps
- Ceiling cassettes
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Write down the fault code if there is one
- Never add refrigerant yourself or let anyone top up without finding the leak
- Turn it off and let ice clear before the visit
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. An annual service is the best way to catch the next fault before it stops the system.
Small changes are worth acting on. A drip, a new noise, a weaker airflow or an occasional error code is often the first sign of a fault and catching it early keeps the repair simpler.
Questions from Keston
Can you do air conditioning repair in Keston?
We do: Keston falls inside our working area. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
What’s the best way to get a price for air conditioning repair in Keston?
Start with a short message: the address, what you need and a picture or two. Straightforward work can be priced remotely. Bigger jobs get a survey and a written fixed price.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Every visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
Can you repair an R22 air conditioning system?
Servicing with new R22 isn’t allowed, because it depletes the ozone layer. A fault that doesn’t involve the refrigerant may still be repairable, depending on parts, but a refrigerant leak typically means replacement. We’ll set out the options and quote for a replacement where it makes sense.
What affects the cost of air conditioning repair
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- How many units are involved
The cost depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, the access and what the work involves. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Useful things to send:
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
Here’s what helps us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, photos of the rooms or units, the brand and model of anything already fitted and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Once you have those, ring 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
What a customer said
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
