Air conditioning repair in Seven Dials, Greater London
Our engineers work in Seven Dials on air conditioning repair. Diagnosis first, a fixed price and proper paperwork when we finish.
- A suspected refrigerant leak
- A system that keeps cutting out
- An error code or flashing light on the unit
Owner checks or an engineer?
Write down what you notice: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
Air conditioning repair in Seven Dials, done properly
Not sure whether it’s worth calling an engineer? Check the filter, the mode, the set temperature and the remote’s batteries first, and if that does not fix it, ring 07833 053749 or send an email. You’ll hear back from us the same working day. We’re often asked to deal with ice forming on the indoor unit or pipes and air conditioning running but not cooling, on heat pumps, multi-split systems and VRF systems.
In Seven Dials, as across London, air conditioning works hard in hot spells, and that’s when faults show: weak cooling, water leaks, error codes or a unit that won’t start. A photo of the error code and the unit’s label helps us arrive with the right parts in mind.
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

The process
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we let you know if plans need to move. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. For a job in Seven Dials, tell us about parking, permits and access to the building when you get in touch.
- Describe the problem and the brand, and mention any code on the display.
- On the diagnosis visit, we test the electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant.
- We explain the cause in plain English and give you a fixed price.
- With your go-ahead, we carry out the repair, recording any refrigerant work.
- It’s tested running, and the write-up is left with you.
Before we arrive
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it

Common problems we fix in Seven Dials
A unit that runs but doesn’t cool has a few usual suspects: a blocked filter, the wrong mode or set temperature, an outdoor unit that can’t breathe, a failed sensor or board, or low refrigerant from a leak. Testing tells us which.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Poor airflow even with clean filters
- Frost on the pipework
- A system that keeps cutting out
Shops and offices around Tottenham Court Road station often can’t wait for cooling to come back, which is what the 24/7 line is for.

Seven Dials questions
Is Seven Dials in your area for air conditioning repair?
Yes. Seven Dials is one of the places we cover. To start, ring us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few pictures.
Can I get a fixed-price quote for air conditioning repair in Seven Dials?
Send us photos of the room or the system and a few details about the property. Where photos aren’t enough, a survey comes first and the fixed-price quote follows.
Can I do any of the installation 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 manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Why is my air conditioning leaking water?
Most leaks come from a blocked drain, a failed pump or a unit that has dropped out of level. Ice on the coil from low airflow or low refrigerant can also melt and drip. Switch the unit off and call 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
Why isn’t my air con cooling?
Common causes are a blocked filter, the wrong mode or set temperature, an outdoor unit that can’t breathe, a failed sensor or board, or low refrigerant from a leak. Start by checking the filter and the mode, then call us on 07833 053749 or email us if it’s still not cooling.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Can you come out for an emergency air conditioning repair?
Yes, 24/7. Urgent cases include water leaking through a ceiling or a server or comms room overheating, and we’ll advise on what to do right away. Call 07833 053749.
