Air conditioning repair for homes and businesses in Maypole
Any repair we carry out in Maypole starts the same way: the engineer reads the fault codes and checks the electrics, the airflow, the condensate drain and the refrigerant pressures and temperatures. Then we explain what’s wrong and give you a fixed price to put it right. If you are dealing with air conditioning running but not cooling and a flashing light and a system that won’t run, we can sort it out.
Air conditioning repairs in Maypole are often in flats, offices and shops, with outdoor units on balconies, rear walls or flat roofs. Telling us where the outdoor unit is and how we reach it saves time on the visit.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: 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 so it’s to hand next time.

Common problems we fix in Maypole
Some faults stop the unit completely: a failed fan motor, a fault on a circuit board, a damaged cable between the units or a tripped circuit. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and call us.
Customers typically contact us after spotting something like this:
- Water dripping from the indoor unit
- Ice on the pipework or the coil
- A system that keeps cutting out
For a home or office near Knockholt station, tell us the make, model and error code when you call, so we can plan the repair.

How the visit 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 note on parking and access helps us plan a visit to Maypole.
- First, a few questions by phone or email about the brand, the fault and anything shown on the controller.
- The engineer reads the fault codes and checks the electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant circuit.
- 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.
- Finally the system is tested in operation and you get a note of the fault and the fix.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
Getting a price
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

Wall-mounted split systems
Wall-mounted splits are the systems we repair most often. Typical faults include blocked drains, dirty coils and filters, failed fan motors, sensor faults and refrigerant leaks and the diagnosis starts with the fault code and the symptoms.
Refrigerant leaks
Topping up without finding the leak only delays the next breakdown and the gas simply leaks out again. We always find and fix the leak first.
What affects the cost of air conditioning repair
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- The number of rooms, units or zones
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but your price depends on the job in front of us. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
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. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.

Tell us where your outdoor unit is and how to reach it, so we can plan the visit. In London, access to outdoor units on roofs and balconies can need planning, so tell us how to reach yours.

Is Maypole in your area for air conditioning repair?
Yes. Maypole is one of the places we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
How long does the visit take?

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?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. It’s worth checking before you book and we will gladly show you ours.

You will hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
