What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and call us on 07833 053749 or email us.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Air conditioning repair in Putney Vale, done properly
When air conditioning stops cooling, leaks water or shows an error code, the symptom rarely tells you the cause. Warm air can mean anything from a dirty filter to a sensor, board or refrigerant fault, which is why diagnosis comes first. The work covers ducted systems, heat pumps and ceiling cassettes, and the jobs we see most are rattling, buzzing or grinding noises and a flashing light and a system that won’t run.
In Putney Vale, as across London, air conditioning works hard in hot spells, which is when weak cooling, leaks and error codes tend to appear. The error code on the display, the make and the model are the most useful things to send us.
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

When air con fails in Putney Vale
Putney Vale’s centre is no more than about a third of a mile from the Kingston Vale Conservation Area. 4 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Putney Vale. About 3 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Putney Vale, Dorich House (grade II) among them. That only matters for replacements, where a new outdoor unit on a protected building can need consent. VOA council tax data date about 71% of homes in the Putney Vale area to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 77% of households live in flats, according to Census 2021 figures. If you live in a flat, mention any roof hatch, balcony or managing agent we’ll need to get to the outdoor unit. In London, access to outdoor units on roofs and balconies can need planning, so tell us how to reach yours.
The rating label on the unit gives the model number, which helps us bring the right parts. If a system fails at a school such as Hall School Wimbledon, our 24/7 line takes the call, and planned repairs can wait for the holidays.

How it works
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before any work starts, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive. If a freeholder or agent needs to agree the work in Putney Vale, we can send them the details.
- We start with what the unit is doing, the make and any code.
- The engineer diagnoses the fault on site, testing rather than guessing.
- The fault is explained simply and the repair priced up front.
- Once you’re happy, the repair is done and any refrigerant work recorded.
- We test the system in operation and leave you a note of the fault and the fix.
How to prepare
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records

Common questions in Putney Vale
What’s the best way to get a price for air conditioning repair in Putney Vale?
Start with a short message: the address, what you need and a picture or two. Simple jobs can be priced from photos; otherwise we arrange a site survey and then give you a fixed-price quote.
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Putney Vale?
Putney Vale is within our area, and the emergency line is open 24/7. A diagnosis call-out starts from £75 + VAT, and knowing the brand and the symptoms helps us plan it.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Which brands do you work with?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
What causes ice on the indoor coil?
The coil gets too cold when air can’t move across it or when the refrigerant charge is low. A dirty filter is worth checking first and if that is not it, we will find the cause.
Why act early in Putney Vale
Small faults rarely stay small. A blocked drain becomes water damage, and a slow leak drains the refrigerant until the compressor is working far harder than it should and early diagnosis typically keeps the repair simpler. Getting the work done in Putney Vale before summer avoids the busiest weeks.
No two properties are the same, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all play a part.
