Air conditioning repair in Pratt's Bottom
Any repair we carry out in Pratt's Bottom starts the same way: the engineer reads the fault codes and checks the electrics, the airflow, the condensate drain and the refrigerant pressures and temperatures. Then we explain what’s wrong and give you a fixed price to put it right. Typical jobs include a unit blowing warm air and a system that won’t switch on, across multi-split systems, ceiling cassettes and wall-mounted split systems.
Air conditioning repairs in Pratt's Bottom are often in flats, offices and shops, with outdoor units on balconies, rear walls or flat roofs. Telling us where the outdoor unit is and how we reach it saves time on the visit.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Never add refrigerant yourself or let anyone top up without finding the leak
- Clear debris away from the outdoor fan
- Turn the system off if it’s dripping water
Once the fault is fixed, we test the system in operation. We confirm it’s working properly and look for anything else that needs attention, and we tell you about anything we noticed.
Give the outdoor unit space. Anything blocking the outdoor unit makes the whole system strain and debris drawn into the fan can cause noise and damage.

The process
The first job on site is protection: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby and nothing is moved without asking you. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive, and we clear up before we go. The more we can see beforehand, the smoother the visit to Pratt's Bottom will be.
- Diagnose: test the system until the cause is clear.
- Next, a plain explanation and a fixed price.
- Where a repair doesn’t make sense, you will hear it from us, with the alternatives.
- The treatment: the repair itself, with any leak found and fixed before recharging.
- Sign off: prove it works and record the visit.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time

Advice
FAQs for Pratt's Bottom
Is Pratt's Bottom in your area for air conditioning repair?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Pratt's Bottom is part of that. To start, phone 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few pictures.
Do you cover Pratt's Bottom for emergency air conditioning repairs?
Pratt's Bottom is within our area, and the emergency line is open 24/7. Tell us the make, model and any error code when you call; repair call-outs start from £75 + VAT.
Why is my air conditioning blowing warm air?
There are several possible causes, from simple to serious. Diagnosis confirms the cause and you get a fixed price before the repair.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
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.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Is it legal to repair an R410A system?
Yes. Repairing and recharging existing R410A systems is still legal. R410A is getting scarcer and dearer to buy as the GB phase-down tightens, so for older systems we compare the cost of a repair with a replacement.
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what air conditioning repair will not do:
- A discontinued model with no parts available
- Cooling that falls short because the system is too small
- A refrigerant fault on an R22 system (new R22 cannot be used for servicing, so replacement is typically the answer)
If you’re not sure, just call us on 07833 053749 or send an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

“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.”
