Pricing air conditioning repair in Selmeston
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- The brand, model and parts involved
A single unit or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the equipment. You will have a fixed price before any work starts, and the quote sets out the VAT.
Asking for a quote

About our air conditioning repair in Selmeston
A sealed system shouldn’t lose refrigerant, so a low charge means a leak somewhere. 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. If you are dealing with poor airflow even with clean filters and a system that keeps cutting out, we can help.
Around Selmeston, outdoor units often sit close to gardens and hedges, and a coil clogged with leaves or seeds is a common cause of weak cooling.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Air conditioning repairs in Selmeston: local notes

On the National Heritage List, around 15 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Selmeston; Green House (grade II) is one. That only matters for replacements, where a new outdoor unit on a protected building can need consent. VOA council tax data date about 55% of homes in the Selmeston area to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 77% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. A photo of the outdoor unit and its surroundings tells us what access the visit needs.
A unit that keeps tripping or showing the same code is worth a proper diagnosis. The rating label on the unit gives the model number, which helps us bring the right parts.

Selmeston: your questions answered
Do you cover Selmeston for emergency air conditioning repairs?
Yes. Our 24/7 emergency line covers Selmeston. Tell us the make, model and any error code when you call; repair call-outs start from £75 + VAT.
Do you cover Selmeston for air conditioning repair?
Yes. Selmeston is one of the places we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
What causes ice on the indoor coil?
The coil gets too cold when air cannot move across it or when the refrigerant charge is low. A dirty filter is worth checking first, and if it’s clean, the system needs a diagnosis.
My air con is showing an error code. What should I do?
An error code points us in the right direction, but it isn’t the whole answer. Note the code and switch the system off if it isn’t working, and give us a ring on 07833 053749.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Which brands do you work with?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
Let and managed properties
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
What the work involves, system by system
Refrigerant leaks
If the charge is low, there’s a leak somewhere. The leak is found and fixed, then the circuit is tested, evacuated and recharged, and the work is recorded in the F-Gas records.
Multi-split systems
Refrigerant leaks on a multi-split can be anywhere on several pipe runs. Each run is checked before the system is repaired, tested and recharged.
How the visit works
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. On site, it takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. If a lane or gateway near Selmeston is tight for a van, let us know and we’ll plan for it.
- 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.
- We explain the cause and give you a fixed price for the repair before any work goes ahead.
- With your agreement the part is replaced or the fault put right, and refrigerant work goes in the F-Gas log.
- Before leaving, we run it through its modes and write up what was found and done.
Before we arrive
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Let us know where we can park and unload
