- Water leaking from the unit or through the ceiling
- A fault code on the display
How it works
We book the visit for a day and time that suit 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. From there, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. Work in Sole Street is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- Tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and send a photo of the display if you can.
- The engineer reads the fault codes and checks the electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant circuit.
- Nothing is repaired until you’ve heard what’s wrong and agreed a fixed price.
- The fix goes in, with any refrigerant work tested and written into the F-Gas records.
- We run the system, check it’s working properly and note anything else that needs attention.
How to prepare
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need

Different systems, different jobs
Fans and compressors
The compressor is the heart of the system. Before blaming the compressor, we check the electrics and the refrigerant circuit. A failed compressor often raises the repair-or-replace question, and we give you both prices.
Ducted and cassette systems
If water is coming through the ceiling, switch the unit off and call us. A failed pump, a blocked drain or an overflowing tray is normally behind it and the diagnosis covers each of them.
What a repair looks like in Sole Street
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures date about 70% of homes in Sole Street and the neighbourhoods around it to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and the 2021 Census found about 89% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Access to the outdoor unit is the one detail that most changes how a visit is planned. On the National Heritage List, around 8 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Sole Street; Yeomans House (grade II) is one. Day-to-day work on an existing system is not affected; a replacement outdoor unit on a protected building might be.
If a system fails at a school such as Cobham Primary School, our 24/7 line takes the call, and planned repairs can wait for the holidays. Shops and offices around Sole Street station often cannot wait for cooling to come back, which is what the 24/7 line is for.

Questions from Sole Street
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Sole Street out of hours?
Sole Street is within our area, and the emergency line is open 24/7. Have the make, model and error code ready, and we’ll talk you through what happens next.
Is Sole Street within the area you cover?
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.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
How does the warranty work?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Why is water dripping from my indoor unit?
Most leaks come from a blocked drain, a failed pump or a unit that has dropped out of level. Ice that forms on the coil and melts can cause drips too. Turn it off and phone 07833 053749.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
After we’ve gone
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Stop the unit if water is coming through a ceiling
- Never add refrigerant yourself or let anyone top up without finding the leak
- Leave a tripping breaker off and call us
Keep the filters clean and the outdoor unit clear after the repair: clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should. A yearly service catches problems before they become breakdowns.
Book an annual service. A service cleans the coils and drain, checks the electrics and the refrigerant circuit and catches small faults early and that is usually simpler than a breakdown repair.

What air conditioning repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A unit that was never big enough for the room
- A supply fault outside the property
- A room that overheats because of the building, such as a lack of shading or ventilation (the system may need help, not a repair)
If in doubt, ring us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we will say what we think.

From one of our customers
“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.”
