Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too across Greater London. Larger buildings can be done in stages around the people who use them.
How we handle air conditioning repair in Penge
Diagnosis call-outs start from £75 + VAT. When the cause is found, the repair is priced before anything else is done, so you can decide with the facts in front of you. If you’re dealing with a system that won’t switch on and a suspected refrigerant leak, we can help.
Many buildings in Penge have a managing agent or security desk, 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.
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. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

Each visit follows the same order: agree the plan on site, protect the area, do the work, test what we have done and explain it all to you.

- A diagnosis visit finds the cause with proper tests.
- The fault is explained simply and the repair priced up front.
- Once agreed, the repair goes ahead.

Penge: your questions answered
How do I get a quote for air conditioning repair in Penge?
The easiest way is to ring 07833 053749 or drop us a line with a few details and pictures. Simple jobs can be priced from photos; otherwise we arrange a site survey and then give you a fixed-price quote.
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Penge out of hours?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in Penge. A diagnosis call-out starts from £75 + VAT, and knowing the brand and the symptoms helps us plan it.
How long will you be on site?
The work itself takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. Larger systems naturally take longer, and we will tell you what to expect.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
What warranty do I get?
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. As the GB phase-down continues, R410A is getting harder and dearer to buy, so for older systems we compare the cost of a repair with a replacement.
How soon will you get back to me?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
What owners can safely do
Do not move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
What a customer said
“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.”
