What affects the quote in Pett Bottom
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- How many units are involved
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is looked at first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- The address and the type of property
- The make and model of the system, from the label
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. Once we have looked at the job, from pictures or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To start, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Pett Bottom
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is, and we can work for either side.
Bigger systems bring extra duties: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
Signs you need air conditioning repair in Pett Bottom
Most indoor unit leaks come back to the condensate. A blocked or kinked drain, a failed pump or a unit that is not level are the usual causes, and ice on the coil that melts can drip too.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Ice forming on the indoor unit or pipes
- A unit that barely blows any air
- A system that keeps cutting out
A photo of the error code and the unit’s rating label helps us plan the repair.

If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before work begins, so you can plan around it. For businesses, we can typically work room by room or zone by zone. The work takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. If a lane or gateway near Pett Bottom is tight for a van, let us know and we’ll plan for it.
- First the diagnosis: fault codes read, electrics and airflow checked, drain and refrigerant tested.
- Next, a plain explanation and a fixed price.
- Where a repair does not make sense, you will hear it from us, with the alternatives.
- Then the fix, with leaks repaired before any refrigerant is added.
- The sign-off: the system tested in operation and the work recorded.
How to prepare
