What we do, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and we take it from there. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. A few photos help us make the most of a visit to Luddesdown.
- First, a few questions by phone or email about the brand, the fault and anything shown on the controller.
- On the diagnosis visit, the engineer tests the system rather than guessing.
- We explain the cause and give you a fixed price for the repair before any work goes ahead.
- With your agreement the part is replaced or the fault put right, and refrigerant work goes in the F-Gas log.
- We run the system, check it’s working properly and note anything else that needs attention.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
How to get a quote
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

Air conditioning repair in Luddesdown
A diagnosis call-out is from £75 + VAT. When the cause is found, the repair is priced before anything else is done, so you can decide with the facts in front of you. We’re often asked to deal with water dripping from the indoor unit and frost on the pipework, on ducted systems, heat pumps and ceiling cassettes.
Around Luddesdown, outdoor units often sit close to gardens and hedges, and a coil clogged with leaves or seeds is a common cause of weak cooling.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order, and every service is written up.

Safe owner checks
Don’t move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are typically the one part owners can clean, 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. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
A customer’s words
“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.”
