Air conditioning repair for homes and businesses in Surrey Quays
Any repair we carry out in Surrey Quays starts the same way: the engineer reads the fault codes and checks the electrics, the airflow, the condensate drain and the refrigerant pressures and temperatures. After that, you get a plain explanation and a fixed price for the repair. If the problem is poor airflow even with clean filters and a suspected refrigerant leak, we can help.
Many buildings in Surrey Quays have a managing agent or security desk, so let us know who needs to know we are coming. Outdoor units on roofs may need a key, a permit or an escort, and we plan for that before we arrive.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

How it works
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. All told, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. The more we can see beforehand, the smoother the visit to Surrey Quays will be.
- First the diagnosis: fault codes read, electrics and airflow checked, drain and refrigerant tested.
- Next, a plain explanation and a fixed price.
- Where a repair doesn’t make sense, you’ll hear it from us, with the alternatives.
- Treat: carry out the repair, sealing any leak before refrigerant goes back in.
- Sign off: prove it works and record the visit.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
Advice
Safe owner checks
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and give us a ring on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.

Surrey Quays questions
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Surrey Quays?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in Surrey Quays. Say what the system is doing and whether it shows a code, and we will advise on the next step.
Do you cover Surrey Quays for air conditioning repair?
Yes. Surrey Quays is one of the places we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
How much does an air conditioning repair cost?
It starts with a diagnosis call-out from £75 + VAT, followed by a fixed price for the repair. You decide before any repair work starts.
Which accreditations do you hold?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
What does the error code on my air conditioning mean?
The code is the system’s own clue to the fault, but testing confirms the cause. Write down the code and turn the unit off if it has stopped, then ring us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
Can you repair an R22 air conditioning system?
Servicing with new R22 is not allowed, because it depletes the ozone layer. Some non-refrigerant faults can be repaired if parts are available, but a refrigerant leak usually means replacement. We explain the options and quote for a new system if that is the answer.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
For landlords and property managers
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Every visit is written up, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed-price quote.
