Air conditioning repair in Rotherhithe, done properly
A diagnosis call-out is from £75 + VAT. Once we know the cause, you get a fixed price for the repair before any work goes ahead, so you can decide with the facts in front of you. Common call-outs are for new noises from the system and a unit that has lost refrigerant, across heat pumps, ducted systems and VRF systems.
In a managed building in Rotherhithe, the repair may need booking through the agent or building manager, so tell us who controls access. Outdoor units on roofs may need a key, a permit or an escort, and we plan for that before we arrive.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

What affects the quote in Rotherhithe
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- What kind of system it is
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you are unsure, call 07833 053749 or send an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed price.
Before you get in touch
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- The address and the type of property
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

How it works
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then the work itself, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive. Some blocks in Rotherhithe need contractor details in advance, so tell us what your building needs.
- Tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and send a photo of the display if you can.
- The engineer reads the fault codes and checks the electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant circuit.
- 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.
- Before leaving, we run it through its modes and write up what was found and done.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go

Questions from Rotherhithe
What’s the best way to get a price for air conditioning repair in Rotherhithe?
Start with a short message: the address, what you need and a picture or two. We reply the same working day, and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Do you cover Rotherhithe for emergency air conditioning repairs?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in Rotherhithe. Say what the system is doing and whether it shows a code, and we’ll advise on the next step.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
For some brands, yes. Send us the make and model and we’ll tell you what the manufacturer expects, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
How long will you be on site?
We will confirm the time with your quote. As a guide, the work takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We start with protection: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
Is it legal to repair an R410A system?
Yes. We find and fix the leak, then recharge with R410A and record it in the F-Gas records, and we tell you honestly whether a repair is worth it on an older system.
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 07833 053749.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
