How we handle air conditioning repair in Old Ford
Wondering whether the fault is something simple? Check the filter, the mode, the set temperature and the remote’s batteries first, and if that doesn’t fix it, ring 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier. We reply to enquiries the same working day. If you’re dealing with a flashing light and a system that won’t run and water leaking from the unit or through the ceiling, we can sort it out.
Many buildings in Old Ford have a managing agent or security desk, so tell us who controls access. Roof access can need keys or permits, and we plan for that before we arrive.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer, so keep it safe.

What happens on the day
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. On the day, both are in the same hands. The work takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive. Parking bays, permits and roof or balcony access are the first things we ask about in Old Ford.
- 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.
- Nothing is repaired until you’ve heard what’s wrong and agreed a fixed price.
- The fix goes in, with any refrigerant work tested and written into the F-Gas records.
- Before leaving, we run it through its modes and write up what was found and done.
How to prepare
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go

Other services in Old Ford
Different systems, different jobs
Ducted and cassette systems
Water through a ceiling below a cassette or ducted unit needs prompt attention. The cause is usually the condensate pump, a blocked drain or a tray that’s overflowing, and we check all three.
VRF systems
On larger VRF systems, the refrigerant charge can be big enough to need regular leak checks under the F-gas rules. Leak repairs are written into the F-Gas records for the operator’s records.
For landlords and property managers
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed-price quote.

About 29 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Old Ford, Church of St Mary Stratford Bow (grade II*) among them.

If you live in a flat, mention any roof hatch, balcony or managing agent we’ll need to get to the outdoor unit. In London, access to outdoor units on roofs and balconies can need planning, so tell us how to reach yours.

How do I get a quote for air conditioning repair in Old Ford?
The easiest way is to ring us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form with a few details and photos. Where pictures are not enough, a survey comes first and the fixed-price quote follows.
Why is water dripping from my indoor unit?
The condensate drain or pump is the usual cause: a blocked pipe, a kinked hose or a failed pump. Turn the system off to stop the water and give us a call.
What does the error code on my air conditioning mean?
The code is the system’s own clue to the fault, but testing confirms the cause. Note the code and switch the system off if it isn’t working, then call 07833 053749.
Which brands do you work with?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
When will I hear back?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and we hold it.
