What we do, step by step
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before work begins, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. If a lane or gateway near Strood is tight for a van, let us know and we will plan for it.
- 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.
- If the repair isn’t worth doing, we say so and explain the options.
- 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
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits

How we handle air conditioning repair in Strood
Any repair we carry out in Strood starts the same way: fault codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant are all checked. Then we explain what’s wrong and give you a fixed price to put it right. The work covers VRF systems, ducted systems and heat pumps, and common reasons people get in touch are a unit blowing warm air and water dripping from the indoor unit.
We plan the trip to Strood so the repair can be finished in one visit where possible, though some parts have to be ordered from the manufacturer.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order and each visit is recorded.

What a repair looks like in Strood
Strood’s centre falls inside a designated conservation area. About 3 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Strood, Strood House (grade II) among them. For most visits that makes no difference. It only comes up when an outdoor unit has to be replaced on a protected building. The 2021 Census found about 69% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Wall bracket, ground pad or flat roof: knowing where the outdoor unit is saves time on the day.
Before you call, note what the unit is doing and any code on the controller.

Common questions in Strood
Is Strood in your area for air conditioning repair?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Strood is part of that. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Do you cover smaller places like Strood?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
My air con is showing an error code. What should I do?
Each manufacturer uses its own codes, and one code can have more than one cause. Tell us the code, the make and the model, and we will diagnose the fault on site.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. That isn’t optional: it’s required by law, and we hold it.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Common problems we fix in Strood
Some faults stop the unit completely: fan motors, boards, interconnecting cables and tripped breakers. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off until an engineer has looked at it.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A system that won’t switch on
- Drips from the indoor unit
- Ice forming on the indoor unit or pipes
Schools such as Rolvenden Primary School can report a fault on the 24/7 line and have non-urgent work done out of term.
What to look for in a quote
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted
- Proof of F-Gas company certification
- If the figure could change on the day
What affects the quote in Strood
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- What electrical work the job needs
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
Homes, offices, shops and public buildings are all priced the same way: what’s needed, how we reach it, the parts and the labour. Ask for a fixed-price quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, 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. To get one, phone us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Different systems, different jobs
Wall-mounted split systems
Wall-mounted splits are the systems we repair most often. Drains, coils, fans, sensors and leaks account for many of the faults, and most are diagnosed on the first visit.
Ducted and cassette systems
Ducted units and cassettes sit above the ceiling and access is part of the job. Many have condensate pumps, and pump failures are a common cause of ceiling leaks.

A customer’s words
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
