What we do, step by step
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. On site, it takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. Let us know how to reach the outside wall or outdoor unit at your property near Locks Heath.
- First the diagnosis: fault codes read, electrics and airflow checked, drain and refrigerant tested.
- Next, a plain explanation and a fixed price.
- 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.
- The sign-off: the system tested in operation and the work recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Tell us about parking and loading

Questions from Locks Heath
Will you come out to Locks Heath?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Locks Heath?
It can, as Locks Heath is within about 2 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. Corrosion on the outdoor unit is one of the things we check when we diagnose a fault.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, always. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. 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.
What warranty do I get?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Can you repair an R22 air conditioning system?
R22 is an ozone-depleting refrigerant, and new R22 can’t be used for servicing. Some non-refrigerant faults can be repaired if parts are available, but a refrigerant leak normally means replacement. We’ll set out the options and quote for a replacement where it makes sense.
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. A dirty filter is worth checking first, and if it’s clean, the system needs a diagnosis.
What affects the cost of air conditioning repair
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The condition of any existing system
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your photos and details. After that, we send a fixed price before any work starts.
Different systems, different jobs
Condensate drains and pumps
Most water leaks from indoor units come back to the condensate system. Drains block with dirt and growth, pipes get kinked and pumps fail, and a unit that isn’t level can spill water too.
Ducted and cassette systems
Water through a ceiling below a cassette or ducted unit needs prompt attention. A failed pump, a blocked drain or an overflowing tray is usually behind it and the diagnosis covers each of them.
What happens if it’s left?
Refrigerant supply is changing. R410A systems can still be repaired legally, though the GB phase-down is making R410A harder and dearer to buy, so for older systems we compare the cost of a repair with a replacement. Planning ahead for a job near Locks Heath means we can arrive with everything needed.
Every job is different, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all play a part.
