When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by air conditioning repair, and we will tell you before we start. It will not put right:
- A room that overheats because of the building, such as a lack of shading or ventilation (the system may need help, not a repair)
- An R22 system that has lost its refrigerant
- A discontinued model with no parts available
Not sure which it is? You can call 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

Air conditioning repair in Selsted
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, so we diagnose before we repair. If you’re dealing with a unit that barely blows any air and drips from the indoor unit, we can sort it out.
Around Selsted, outdoor units often sit close to gardens and hedges, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs on the coil are worth checking first.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

A photo of the outdoor unit and its surroundings tells us what access the visit needs. Historic England lists about 3 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Selsted, including Thatched Cottage (grade II). Should a unit ever need replacing on a listed building or in a conservation area, ask us about consent first.

The process
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Selsted.
- Describe the problem and the brand, and mention any code on the display.
- A diagnosis visit finds the cause with proper tests.
- The fault is explained simply and the repair priced up front.
- Once agreed, the repair goes ahead.
- It’s tested running, and the write-up is left with you.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
Getting a price
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. Once we have looked at the job, from pictures or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To get going, ring 07833 053749 or drop us a line.

Rented and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the paperwork can go to both.
From a single flat to a whole estate, the approach is the same: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.

Questions from Selsted
Is Selsted in your area for air conditioning repair?
We do: Selsted falls inside our working area. Just ring 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few details.
Is Selsted within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Selsted and across Kent. Let us know who the records should go to.
How long does the visit take?
Your quote will say how long we expect to be there. Most of the time, it takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
What causes ice on the indoor coil?
When airflow drops or refrigerant is lost, the coil gets cold enough to ice. A dirty filter is worth checking first and if that is not it, we will find the cause.
Do you offer an emergency repair service?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for breakdowns that cannot wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we’ll agree the next steps with you.
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly:
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Turn it off and let ice clear before the visit
- Only let an F-Gas qualified engineer work on the refrigerant
The repair is written up: the cause, the parts fitted and any refrigerant added or recovered. Refrigerant work goes into the F-Gas records and it belongs with the system’s paperwork.
Sensible use helps. Moderate settings and a closed room mean less strain and the system does not have to work as hard.
What a customer said
“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.”
