- Air conditioning running but not cooling
- New noises from the system
- Frost on the pipework
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is straightforward, and it helps at the next service:
- Rule out the simple causes first: filter, mode and temperature
- Leave a tripping breaker off and call us
- Have the system serviced once a year
Keep the filters clean and the outdoor unit clear after the repair: clean filters every few weeks in heavy use and space around the outdoor unit. A yearly service catches problems before they become breakdowns.
Book an annual service. The engineer cleans what you can’t reach and picks up problems before they cause a breakdown and that’s usually simpler than a breakdown repair.
How we handle air conditioning repair in Marks Tey
Age alone does not decide whether a repair is worth it. A fan fault on an older unit can be worth fixing, while a compressor failure may tip the balance. We look at the fault, the parts, the refrigerant and how well the system suits the room, then give you an honest view. The work covers ceiling cassettes, heat pumps and wall-mounted split systems, and the jobs we see most are ice forming on the indoor unit or pipes and an error code or flashing light on the unit.
Outdoor units in a place like Marks Tey can be near hedges and fields, and a coil clogged with leaves or seeds is a common cause of weak cooling.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

System by system
VRF systems
In a VRF system, many indoor units share outdoor plant. Faults are diagnosed through the system’s own fault codes and controls, then confirmed by testing and the repair is priced before work begins.
Ducted and cassette systems
If water is coming through the ceiling, switch the unit off and call us. A failed pump, a blocked drain or an overflowing tray is usually behind it and the diagnosis covers each of them.

Marks Tey questions
Can you do air conditioning repair in Marks Tey?
We do: Marks Tey falls inside our working area. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Marks Tey?
The emergency line is open around the clock, and Marks Tey is one of the places it covers. A diagnosis call-out starts from £75 + VAT, and knowing the brand and the symptoms helps us plan it.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some brands make regular servicing a condition so it’s worth keeping the service records.
My system uses R410A. Can it still be repaired?
Yes, repairs and recharges on existing R410A systems remain legal. R410A is getting scarcer and dearer to buy as the GB phase-down tightens, so for older systems we compare the cost of a repair with a replacement.
What can I do with an old R22 system?
R22 is an ozone-depleting refrigerant, and new R22 cannot be used for servicing. A fault that doesn’t involve the refrigerant may still be repairable, depending on parts, but a leak normally makes replacement the sensible route. We explain the options and quote for a new system if that’s the answer.
How the visit works
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 the rest is down to us. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Marks Tey.
- You describe the fault, the make and any error code, ideally with a photo.
- At the property, readings and tests narrow the problem down to its cause.
- You get a plain explanation of the fault and a fixed price for putting it right.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in

“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.”
