Air conditioning repair for homes and businesses in Old Town
Our emergency line runs 24/7 for urgent breakdowns, such as a server room overheating or water coming through a ceiling. Call 07833 053749 and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we will agree the next steps. We are often asked to deal with weak airflow from the indoor unit and frost on the pipework, on wall-mounted split systems, multi-split systems and ducted systems.
In a managed building in Old Town, the repair may need booking through the agent or building manager, so let us know who needs to know we are coming. Outdoor units on roofs may need a key, a permit or an escort, which is worth sorting before the visit.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order, and every service is written up.

What a repair looks like in Old Town
About 42% of homes in the Old Town area have been built since 2000, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and the 2021 Census found about 76% of households live in flats. 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. Old Town’s centre falls inside the Parish Church Conservation Area. 6 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Old Town. On the National Heritage List, around 40 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Old Town; Old Palace Croydon: Chapel (grade I) is one. Swapping an outdoor unit on a listed building or in a conservation area may need consent, so we’ll flag it if a replacement is needed.
For a school like The Minster Nursery and Infant School, urgent repairs can be booked right away and bigger work in the holidays.

Other services in Old Town
System by system
Circuit boards and sensors
We test sensors and boards before replacing them because swapping parts on a guess wastes money. Parts may need ordering and we’ll explain any wait.
Multi-split systems
A multi-split links several indoor units to one outdoor unit, so a fault outside can affect every room, while a fault inside may affect only one. That shapes the diagnosis and the repair.
When to call us in Old Town
A unit that runs but does not cool has a few usual suspects: a blocked filter, the wrong mode or set temperature, an outdoor unit that can’t breathe, a failed sensor or board, or low refrigerant from a leak. Diagnosis narrows it down.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Air conditioning running but not cooling
- Ice on the pipework or the coil
- Drips from the indoor unit
For a home or office near West Croydon station, tell us the make, model and error code when you call, so we can plan the repair.

How do I get a quote for air conditioning repair in Old Town?
Start with a short message: the address, what you need and a picture or two. Straightforward work can be priced remotely. Bigger jobs get a survey and a written fixed price.
Why is water dripping from my indoor unit?
Most leaks come from a blocked drain, a failed pump or a unit that has dropped out of level. Ice on the coil from low airflow or low refrigerant can also melt and drip. Turn it off and phone us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.

Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. You get a written record of every visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. File them with the system’s paperwork.
What does the error code on my air conditioning mean?
Codes differ by brand, and the same code can cover several faults. Tell us the code, the make and the model and we’ll test the system to confirm the cause.
