How we handle air conditioning repair in Lathbury
Age alone doesn’t decide whether a repair is worth it. A system with a failed fan motor may be well worth repairing, while one with a failed compressor might not be. We look at the fault, the parts, the refrigerant and how well the system suits the room, then give you an honest view. If the problem is rattling, buzzing or grinding noises and a system that runs but doesn’t cool the room, we can help.
A visit to Lathbury is planned so we can normally finish in one go, though some parts have to be ordered from the manufacturer.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits make a real difference. Our advice:
- If the breaker trips twice, leave it off
- Send us a photo of any code on the display
- Check the filter, the mode and the set temperature before calling us
After the repair, the system is run and checked in every mode it has. We confirm it’s working properly and look for anything else that needs attention, and we tell you about anything we noticed.
Clean the filters regularly. Clogged filters starve the unit of air, and that can cause ice, drips and poor performance and the manual shows how to clean them.
Questions from Lathbury
Do you cover Lathbury for air conditioning repair?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Lathbury is part of that. To start, ring us on 07833 053749 or send an email with a few pictures.
Do you cover Lathbury for emergency air conditioning repairs?
The emergency line is open around the clock, and Lathbury 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.
What does the error code on my air conditioning mean?
Codes differ by brand, and the same code can cover several faults. Tell us the code, the make and the model, and we’ll diagnose the fault on site.
Can I do any of the installation 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.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
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.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.

What we do, step by step
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. On site, the work takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive. For a village like Lathbury, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- It starts with the symptoms: what the unit is doing, the make and any code on the display.
- The engineer reads the fault codes and checks the electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant circuit.
- Once the cause is found, we explain it and fix the price for the repair.
- We repair the fault, and where refrigerant is involved, the leak is found and fixed before recharging.
- We run the system, check it’s working properly and note anything else that needs attention.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

What owners can safely do
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and phone 07833 053749 or drop us a line.

Look out for any of the following:
- A unit blowing warm air
- A system that won’t switch on
- A unit that barely blows any air
The make, model and error code are the most useful things to tell us.
