About our air conditioning repair in Shooter's Hill
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 and nothing goes ahead without your say-so. If you’re dealing with a system that runs but doesn’t cool the room and a fault code on the display, we can sort it out.
Many buildings in Shooter's Hill have a managing agent or security desk, 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.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

How the visit works
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. It takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive, and we clear up before we go. A note on parking and access helps us plan a visit to Shooter's Hill.
- It starts with the symptoms: what the unit is doing, the make and any code on the display.
- The engineer reads the fault codes and checks the electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant circuit.
- We explain the cause and give you a fixed price for the repair before any work goes ahead.
- The fix goes in, with any refrigerant work tested and written into the F-Gas records.
- The system is run and checked in every mode, and we tell you about anything else we noticed.
How to prepare
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
Getting a quote
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, with the rate that applies to your job. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it on the quote. For a fixed-price quote, ring us on 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice
What the work involves, system by system
Fans and compressors
Fans are the moving parts most likely to wear, often starting with a noise or weaker airflow. Indoor and outdoor fan motors can typically be replaced where the parts are available.
Circuit boards and sensors
Boards and sensors are the system’s nervous system. Sensor faults can stop the system or confuse it and boards can fail with age or after electrical problems.
FAQs for Shooter's Hill
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Shooter's Hill?
Shooter's Hill is within our area, and the emergency line is open 24/7. Say what the system is doing and whether it shows a code, and we’ll advise on the next step.
Do you cover Shooter's Hill for air conditioning repair?
Yes. Shooter's Hill is one of the places we cover. To start, ring 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few pictures.
How long does the work take?
It depends on the job, but as a guide it takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive. We’ll give you a firmer idea when we quote.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
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 will give you an honest view on whether it’s worth it.
What causes water to leak from an air conditioning unit?
The condensate drain or pump is the usual cause: a blocked pipe, a kinked hose or a failed pump. Turn the system off to stop the water and give us a call.

Fixed-price quotes for air conditioning repair in Shooter's Hill
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier for straight advice and a fixed price.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
For a fixed-price quote, phone 07833 053749 and tell us about the property and what you need. A few pictures make it quicker. You’ll hear back from us the same working day.
What air conditioning won’t do
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A refrigerant fault on an R22 system (new R22 can’t be used for servicing, so replacement is normally the answer)
- A power cut or a fault on the incoming supply to the building (that’s for the network operator)
- Cooling that falls short because the system is too small
If you are not sure, just ring us on 07833 053749 or send an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

When air con fails in Shooter's Hill
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 53% of homes in and around Shooter's Hill date from 1919 to 1939, and Census 2021 figures found about 41% of households in terraced houses. With a terrace, access to the rear for the outdoor unit is the main thing to tell us. In London buildings, outdoor units can be on roofs or in light wells, so let us know where yours is. The centre of Shooter's Hill lies within a conservation area. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 8 within half a mile of the centre, such as Prospect Cottage (grade II). That only matters for replacements, where a new outdoor unit on a protected building can need consent.
Near Falconwood station, as anywhere, a photo of the error code on the controller is the quickest way to start a repair. When cooling fails at a school like Shooters Hill Sixth Form College, we can time non-urgent repair work around lessons.
