Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we show you what we have done and answer any questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. The visit takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. For a job in Longlands, tell us about parking, permits and access to the building when you get in touch.
- We start with what the unit is doing, the make and any code.

Advice
Air conditioning repair in Longlands
When air conditioning stops cooling, leaks water or shows an error code, the symptom rarely tells you the cause. A unit blowing warm air might have a blocked filter, a failed sensor, a fault on the circuit board or a refrigerant leak, so we diagnose before we repair. If the problem is rattling, buzzing or grinding noises and ice forming on the indoor unit or pipes, we can help.
Many buildings in Longlands have a managing agent or security desk, so tell us who controls access. Roof access can need keys or permits, and we plan for that before we arrive.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Questions from Longlands
Is Longlands in your area for air conditioning repair?
Yes. Longlands is one of the places we cover. To start, phone 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form with a few pictures.
What’s the best way to get a price for air conditioning repair in Longlands?
Use the quote form, or email, with a description of the job. We reply the same working day, and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
That depends on the brand. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim and we’ll tell you what your brand asks for.
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.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, if the manual says so. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
How the job changes from property to property
Fans and compressors
At the centre of the system is the compressor. Compressor faults can sometimes be caused by something else, such as an electrical fault or a refrigerant problem, so we test before condemning it. A failed compressor often raises the repair-or-replace question, and we give you both prices.
Refrigerant leaks
Adding refrigerant without a repair is not a fix, and it releases more refrigerant into the air. We always find and fix the leak first.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Longlands
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is, and we can work for either side.
Bigger systems bring extra duties: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.

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 Chislehurst Conservation Area is within about a third of a mile of the centre of Longlands. 7 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Longlands. For most visits that makes no difference.

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.”
