Air conditioning repair in Shellwood Cross
We treat a faulty system the way a doctor treats a patient: find the cause, put it right and check it’s healthy before we leave. Guesswork costs money, and topping up refrigerant on a system with a blocked filter fixes nothing. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, ceiling cassettes and VRF systems, and people most often call us about ice forming on the indoor unit or pipes and water dripping from the indoor unit.
Around Shellwood Cross, repairs tend to be home systems, garden rooms and a few businesses. A photo of the unit’s label and a description of the fault help us plan.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than sell you work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A unit whose parts are no longer made (replacement may be the only option)
- Heat gains the system was never designed for
- No power to the building at all
If in doubt, call 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Heat pumps
- Ducted systems
- Multi-split systems
- Ceiling cassettes
- VRF systems
- Wall-mounted split systems
The process
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. The work itself takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Shellwood Cross easier.
- 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.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go

Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. 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.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, if the manual says so. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.

Common questions in Shellwood Cross
Will you come out to Shellwood Cross?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Is Shellwood Cross in your area for air conditioning repair?
We do: Shellwood Cross falls inside our working area. Just phone us on 07833 053749 with a few details.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. You get a written record of each visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Do you work on all makes?
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.
Which accreditations do you hold?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
Why is my air conditioning blowing warm air?
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, and if that doesn’t fix it, call 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
System by system
VRF systems
On larger VRF systems, the refrigerant charge can be big enough to need regular leak checks under the F-gas rules. Any leak we find and repair is recorded, and the operator keeps the records.
Wall-mounted split systems
On a wall-mounted split, the indoor and outdoor units talk to each other through a control cable. Communication faults show up as error codes, and we test the cable, the boards and the connections to find the cause.
A customer’s words
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
