Air conditioning repair in South Lambeth, done properly
A diagnosis call-out is from £75 + VAT. When the cause is found, the repair is priced before anything else is done, so you can decide with the facts in front of you. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, ceiling cassettes and VRF systems, and people most often call us about air conditioning running but not cooling and water leaking from the unit or through the ceiling.
Air conditioning repairs in South Lambeth are often in flats, offices and shops, where the outdoor unit may be on a balcony, a rear wall or the roof. Knowing where the outdoor unit sits, and how to get to it, helps us plan the repair.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

What the work involves, system by system
Wall-mounted split systems
The single split is the most common system we are called to. Typical faults include blocked drains, dirty coils and filters, failed fan motors, sensor faults and refrigerant leaks, and most are diagnosed on the first visit.
Multi-split systems
Refrigerant leaks on a multi-split can be anywhere on several pipe runs. Each run is checked before the system is repaired, tested and recharged.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different answer:
- A room that overheats because of the building, such as a lack of shading or ventilation (the system may need help, not a repair)
- Cooling that falls short because the system is too small
- A discontinued model with no parts available
If you are not sure, just phone us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What affects the cost of air conditioning repair
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How easy the units are to reach
- What state the existing equipment is in
No two properties are the same, so we price each one individually. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all make a difference.

South Lambeth: your questions answered
Can you do air conditioning repair in South Lambeth?
We do: South Lambeth falls inside our working area. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Do you cover South Lambeth for emergency air conditioning repairs?
South Lambeth is within our area, and the emergency line is open 24/7. Have the make, model and error code ready, and we will talk you through what happens next.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before work begins, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some brands make regular servicing a condition so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Why is water dripping from my indoor unit?
Most of the time, it’s the condensate system: a blocked pipe, a kinked hose or a failed pump. Turn the system off to stop the water and give us a call.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
