If the problem is new noises from the system and a system that needs topping up again, we can sort it out.

How it works
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. The visit takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive. A few pictures help us make the most of a visit to Lovedean.
- You tell us the symptoms, the make and any error code.
- On the diagnosis visit, we test the electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant.
- You get the cause explained and a fixed price for the repair.
- Once you are happy, the repair is done and any refrigerant work recorded.
- The system is run and checked, and you get a written note of the repair.
Before we arrive
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.

What air conditioning repair can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than sell you work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A power cut or a fault on the incoming supply to the building (that’s for the network operator)
- A refrigerant fault on an R22 system (new R22 cannot be used for servicing, so replacement is typically the answer)
- An old system with obsolete parts
If in doubt, ring us on 07833 053749 and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Multi-split systems
- Wall-mounted split systems
- Heat pumps
- Ceiling cassettes
- VRF systems
- Ducted systems
Lovedean: your questions answered
Is Lovedean in your area for air conditioning repair?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Lovedean is part of that. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Lovedean?
Yes. Our 24/7 emergency line covers Lovedean. Tell us the make, model and any error code when you call; repair call-outs start from £75 + VAT.
How soon will you get back to me?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. Each visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Will you make a mess?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. 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.
Can you repair an R22 air conditioning system?
In most cases, we recommend replacement. R22 cannot be topped up with new gas, and parts for old models are scarce, so a new system on a modern refrigerant is typically the better investment.
Air conditioning repairs in Lovedean: local notes
About 60% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Wall bracket, ground pad or flat roof: knowing where the outdoor unit is saves time on the day. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 3 within half a mile of the centre, such as The Old Thatched Cottage (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.

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves and clutter
- Write down the fault code if there is one
- Rule out the simple causes first: filter, mode and temperature
You get a note of the fault and what we did: what was wrong, what was replaced and any refrigerant work. Any refrigerant work is recorded in the F-Gas records, so keep the note with the system’s paperwork.
Sensible use helps. Choose the right mode and a moderate set temperature, and keep doors and windows closed while it runs, so it isn’t running flat out all day.
Common problems we fix in Lovedean
Some faults stop the unit completely: fan motors, boards, interconnecting cables and tripped breakers. A breaker that trips a second time should be left off and call us.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Air conditioning running but not cooling
- A unit that barely blows any air
- A system that needs topping up again
For a school like Woodcroft Primary, urgent repairs can be booked right away and bigger work in the holidays.
Before you book anyone
- Proof of F-Gas company certification
- Whether the quote shows VAT clearly
- If the quote is based on a survey, pictures or a diagnosis
