Air conditioning repair in Southwick, done properly
A diagnosis call-out is from £75 + VAT. When the cause is found, the repair is priced before anything else is done and nothing goes ahead without your say-so. The work covers heat pumps, VRF systems and ducted systems, and common reasons people get in touch are a fault code on the display and a unit that won’t start.
Around Southwick, outdoor units often sit close to gardens and hedges, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs on the coil are worth checking first.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Southwick
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Every visit is written up, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Why act early in Southwick
Leaving a fault seldom makes it go away. A drip can turn into a damaged ceiling, and a slow leak can leave the compressor straining, so getting it looked at early normally means a simpler repair. A system that is left with a fault, or without a service, usually costs more to run.
What you pay depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, how easy the units are to reach and the parts and time the job needs. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What you get with us
- We diagnose before we treat
- One number for homes and businesses across London and the South East
- We work on all the leading brands
- A site survey and a fixed-price quote

Questions from Southwick
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Southwick?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in Southwick. Tell us the make, model and any error code when you call; repair call-outs start from £75 + VAT.
Is Southwick within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
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 tell you why.
How do you keep the place clean during the 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 when we finish.
Why is my air conditioning blowing warm air?
It could be a dirty filter, the wrong settings, a blocked outdoor unit, a sensor or board fault, or a refrigerant leak. Check the filter and the settings first, and if that does not fix it, ring 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.

When it’s something else
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A power cut or a fault on the incoming supply to the building (that’s for the network operator)
- A refrigerant fault on an R22 system (new R22 can’t be used for servicing, so replacement is usually the answer)
- A system that was undersized for the room in the first place (that needs a bigger system, not a repair)
If you are not sure, just phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

What a repair looks like in Southwick
Southwick is within about 2 miles of the coast. On a coastal repair, we look at the outdoor unit for corrosion as well as the fault you called about. VOA council tax data date about 80% of homes in Southwick and the neighbourhoods around it to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 39% of households live in terraced houses, according to the 2021 Census. Terraced homes rarely have side access, so say whether we reach the back through the house, a garage or a rear lane. The Southwick Conservation Area is within about a third of a mile of the centre of Southwick. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 51 within half a mile of the centre, such as Red Lion Inn (grade II). Should a unit ever need replacing on a listed building or in a conservation area, ask us about consent first.
The make, model and error code are the most useful things to tell us. Schools such as King Richard School can report a fault on the 24/7 line and have non-urgent work done out of term.

What we do, step by step
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it doesn’t catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Southwick easier.
- First the diagnosis: fault codes read, electrics and airflow checked, drain and refrigerant tested.
- Prescribe: tell you the cause and the fixed cost of the cure.
- Where a repair doesn’t make sense, you will hear it from us, with the alternatives.
- Then the fix, with leaks repaired before any refrigerant is added.
- Finally, a check that it’s working and a record of what we did.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
