Owner checks or an engineer?
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Owner care supports servicing; it does not replace it. 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.
Air conditioning repair for homes and businesses in Lydd
A sealed system shouldn’t lose refrigerant, so a low charge means a leak somewhere. Simply adding gas means it will leak away again. We locate the leak, repair it, test, evacuate and recharge, then record it in the F-Gas records. If you’re dealing with an error code or flashing light on the unit and water dripping from the indoor unit, we can help.
In a place like Lydd, repairs are usually for home systems and the odd shop or office. What you tell us about the fault shapes the visit, so describe what it’s doing and send a photo of any error code.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight and each visit is recorded.

What a repair looks like in Lydd
The coast is only about 3 miles from Lydd. On a coastal repair, we look at the outdoor unit for corrosion as well as the fault you called about. About 77% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Tell us where your outdoor unit is and how to reach it, so we can plan the visit. The Lydd Conservation Area lies close to the centre of Lydd, within about a third of a mile. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 51 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of All Saints (grade I). Day-to-day work on an existing system isn’t affected; a replacement outdoor unit on a protected building might be.
The rating label on the unit gives the model number, which helps us bring the right parts. For a school like Lydd Primary School, urgent repairs can be booked right away and bigger work in the holidays.
Lydd is about 11 miles south-west of Hythe, in Kent. Homes and businesses alike in Lydd, our engineers can help with air conditioning repair.

Lydd questions
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Lydd?
It can. Lydd is within about 3 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. Corrosion on the outdoor unit is one of the things we check when we diagnose a fault.
Is Lydd within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
That depends on the brand. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
Why does my air conditioning run but not cool?
It could be a dirty filter, the wrong settings, a blocked outdoor unit, a sensor or board fault, or a refrigerant leak. Start by checking the filter and the mode, and if that does not fix it, phone us on 07833 053749 or email us.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the paperwork can go to both.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed-price quote.

How the visit works
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before we start, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. We load the van from the survey notes so the work in Lydd can be done in one go where possible.
- First the diagnosis: fault codes read, electrics and airflow checked, drain and refrigerant tested.
- Prescribe: tell you the cause and the fixed cost of the cure.
- Where a repair doesn’t make sense, you’ll hear it from us, with the alternatives.
- Then the fix, with leaks repaired before any refrigerant is added.
- Sign off: prove it works and record the visit.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
Ask for a quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: 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.
Advice
System by system
Multi-split systems
With several pipe runs, finding a leak on a multi-split takes method. We test each run to find it, then repair, pressure test and recharge.
Fans and compressors
The compressor is the heart of the system. Before blaming the compressor, we check the electrics and the refrigerant circuit. If it has failed, we compare the cost of repair with replacement.
What a customer said
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
