Air Conditioning Repair in Swanscombe
F-Gas certified and NICEIC approved, we cover Swanscombe for fault finding and repair for split, multi-split, ducted, cassette and VRF air conditioning, whatever the brand. Fixed-price quotes and a 24/7 emergency line.
- A system that needs topping up again

- Water dripping from the indoor unit
What affects the cost of air conditioning repair
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The condition of any existing system
- The pipe route between the units
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is looked at first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
To help us quote: the address and the type of property, a few pictures, the make and model of any existing system and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Once you have those, call 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
Air conditioning repair for homes and businesses in Swanscombe
We treat a faulty system the way a doctor treats a patient: find the cause, put it right and check it’s healthy before we leave. Guessing is expensive, and replacing a board when the fault is a sensor leaves the problem in place. The work covers multi-split systems, VRF systems and wall-mounted split systems, and people most often call us about a unit that barely blows any air and water dripping from the indoor unit.
Outdoor units around Swanscombe often sit near hedges, trees and lawns, and leaves or grass cuttings on the coil are a common reason for poor cooling. We check the coil early on.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For example, 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.

What happens on the day
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. The visit takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. Because we plan from photos or a survey, a job in Swanscombe can typically be finished in one visit.
- We start with what the unit is doing, the make and any code.
- On the diagnosis visit, we test the electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant.
- The fault is explained simply and the repair priced up front.
- With your go-ahead, we carry out the repair, recording any refrigerant work.
- We test the system in operation and leave you a note of the fault and the fix.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go

Every quote starts with a look at the job, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from pictures and measurements. After that, we send a fixed price before any work starts.
Advice
Swanscombe: your questions answered
Do you cover Swanscombe for emergency air conditioning repairs?
Swanscombe is within our area, and the emergency line is open 24/7. Say what the system is doing and whether it shows a code, and we will advise on the next step.
Will you come out to Swanscombe?
Yes. Swanscombe is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Why is my air conditioning icing up?
Ice is a symptom of low airflow or low refrigerant. A clogged filter, a fan problem or a leak are typical. Turn it off, let the ice melt and call us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
Can you repair an R22 air conditioning system?
Replacement is usually the better answer. New R22 can’t be used to service systems, and parts for older units are getting harder to find, so we will quote for a modern replacement and explain why.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim and we will tell you what your brand asks for.
How soon will you get back to me?
You will hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. It’s worth checking before you book and we will gladly show you ours.
Before you call an engineer
Do not move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrical side needs a competent person. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you can’t see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.

What the work involves, system by system
Condensate drains and pumps
The condensate drain is behind most indoor unit leaks. Blockages, kinks and failed pumps are the usual causes, and a unit that has dropped out of level can leak.
Wall-mounted split systems
The indoor and outdoor units of a split communicate through a cable. Communication faults show up as error codes, and we test the cable, the boards and the connections to find the cause.
