Air conditioning repair in Patching
Older systems raise a fair question: repair or replace?. A fan fault on an older unit can be worth fixing, while a compressor failure may tip the balance. You get an honest view based on the fault, the parts, the refrigerant and the room. If you’re dealing with a unit that has lost refrigerant and a flashing light and a system that won’t run, we can sort it out.
We prepare for a visit to Patching from the make and model you give us, and if a part has to be ordered, we tell you the price before we fit it.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

What air conditioning repair can’t fix

- A room that overheats because of the building, such as a lack of shading or ventilation (the system may need help, not a repair)
- A supply fault outside the property
- A unit whose parts are no longer made (replacement may be the only option)
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

How the visit works
You do not need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and we take it from there. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. Getting to the outside of the property matters more than parking in a place like Patching.
- Diagnosis comes first: codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant.
- Then the prescription: what’s wrong and what it will cost to put right.
- Where a repair does not make sense, you will hear it from us, with the alternatives.
- Treat: carry out the repair, sealing any leak before refrigerant goes back in.
- Finally, a check that it’s working and a record of what we did.
How to prepare
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
How to get a quote

Related advice
Your questions about air conditioning repair in Patching
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Patching?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in Patching. Tell us the make, model and any error code when you call; repair call-outs start from £75 + VAT.
Is Patching within the area you cover?
Yes. Patching is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Why isn’t my air con cooling?
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, then ring us on 07833 053749 or send an email if it’s still not cooling.
Do you work on all makes?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
My air con is showing an error code. What should I do?
The code is the system’s own clue to the fault, but it is not the whole answer. Write down the code and turn the unit off if it has stopped, and phone us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Can you repair an R22 air conditioning system?
Servicing with new R22 isn’t allowed, because it depletes the ozone layer. Some non-refrigerant faults can be repaired if parts are available, but a refrigerant leak typically means replacement. We explain the options and quote for a new system if that’s the answer.
Pricing air conditioning repair in Patching
Your quote is based on your property. We consider:
- The condition of any existing system
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
- The number of rooms, units or zones
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 07833 053749 and we will give you an honest view and a fixed price.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, with the rate that applies to your job. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. To get one, phone 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
