About 16 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Three Chimneys, Great Bachelors Hall (grade II*) among them. Should a unit ever need replacing on a listed building or in a conservation area, ask us about consent first. Census 2021 figures found about 75% of households in detached or semi-detached houses.

How it works
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. The visit takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive. For a village like Three Chimneys, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- Tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and send a photo of the display if you can.
- The engineer reads the fault codes and checks the electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant circuit.
- Nothing is repaired until you’ve heard what’s wrong and agreed a fixed price.
- The repair is carried out, and any refrigerant work is leak tested and recorded.
- Finally the system is tested in operation and you get a note of the fault and the fix.
Before we arrive
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it

Advice
Rented and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We can quote either party, and the paperwork can go to both.
We also work for facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings across Kent. Larger buildings can be done in stages to keep disruption down.
What the work involves, system by system
Condensate drains and pumps
Most water leaks from indoor units come back to the condensate system. Blockages, kinks and failed pumps are the usual causes, and a unit that is not level can spill water too.
Ducted and cassette systems
If water is coming through the ceiling, switch the unit off and call us. The cause is typically the condensate pump, a blocked drain or a tray that is overflowing, and we check all three.
Three Chimneys questions
Do you cover smaller places like Three Chimneys?
Yes. Three Chimneys is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Three Chimneys?
Three Chimneys 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.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
What causes water to leak from an air conditioning unit?
Usually a blocked or kinked condensate drain, a failed condensate pump or a unit that is not level. Ice on the coil from low airflow or low refrigerant can also melt and drip. Switch the unit off and ring 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
My system uses R410A. Can it still be repaired?
Yes. We find and fix the leak, then recharge with R410A and record it in the F-Gas records and we’ll give you an honest view on whether it’s worth it.
Why is my air conditioning icing up?
It typically points to poor airflow or a refrigerant leak. Blocked filters, a failing fan or a leak are the common causes. Turn it off, let the ice melt and phone 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
