- A system that keeps cutting out
- A noisy indoor or outdoor unit
- Water leaking from the unit or through the ceiling
What happens on the day
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we show you what we have done and answer any questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. All told, the work takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. A few pictures help us make the most of a visit to Polstead Heath.
- First, a few questions by phone or email about the brand, the fault and anything shown on the controller.
- We diagnose on site, checking the codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant pressures.
- You get a plain explanation of the fault and a fixed price for putting it right.
- The repair is carried out, and any refrigerant work is leak tested and recorded.
- Finally the system is tested in operation and you get a note of the fault and the fix.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time

Air conditioning repair for homes and businesses in Polstead Heath
Refrigerant does not get used up, so if it’s low, there’s a leak. Topping up without a repair only delays the next breakdown. We find and fix the leak, pressure test, evacuate and recharge to the manufacturer’s charge, then record it in the F-Gas records. The work covers VRF systems, ceiling cassettes and ducted systems, and common reasons people get in touch are ice on the pipework or the coil and rattling, buzzing or grinding noises.
Around Polstead Heath, repairs tend to be home systems, garden rooms and a few businesses. A photo of the unit’s label and a description of the fault help us plan.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

What the work involves, system by system
Refrigerant leaks
Topping up without finding the leak only delays the next breakdown and the gas simply leaks out again. That is why we repair the leak first.
Circuit boards and sensors
Testing comes before any part is replaced because swapping parts on a guess wastes money. Parts may need ordering and we will explain any wait.
Questions from Polstead Heath
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Polstead Heath?
The emergency line is open around the clock, and Polstead Heath is one of the places it covers. A diagnosis call-out starts from £75 + VAT, and knowing the brand and the symptoms helps us plan it.
Will you come out to Polstead Heath?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. Ask to see proof before you book anyone and we will gladly show you ours.
How long will you be on site?
The work itself takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. Larger systems naturally take longer, and we will tell you what to expect.
My system uses R22. Can it be repaired?
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 usually means replacement. We explain the options and quote for a new system if that’s the answer.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
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 on a regular cycle.
Bigger systems bring extra duties: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
Air conditioning repair in Polstead Heath: the local picture
Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 5 within half a mile of the centre, such as Spencer's Farmhouse (grade II). We keep it in mind in case a new outdoor unit is ever needed, as protected buildings can need consent for that. About 82% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Tell us where your outdoor unit is and how to reach it, so we can plan the visit.
A unit that keeps tripping or showing the same code is worth a proper diagnosis.
