Owner checks or 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 electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, if the manual says so. 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.
Air conditioning repair for homes and businesses in Tovil
Wondering whether the fault is something simple? A quick check of the filter, settings and remote can rule out the simple causes, and if that doesn’t fix it, phone us on 07833 053749 or email us. You will hear back from us the same working day. The work covers multi-split systems, VRF systems and wall-mounted split systems, and people most often call us about ice forming on the indoor unit or pipes and an error code or flashing light on the unit.
In a place like Tovil, repairs are normally for home systems and the odd shop or office. What you tell us about the fault shapes the visit, so describe what it’s doing and send a photo of any error code.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

FAQs for Tovil
Is Tovil in your area for air conditioning repair?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Tovil is part of that. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Do you cover smaller places like Tovil?
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.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Not the refrigerant work. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Send us the make and model and we’ll tell you what the manufacturer expects and stick to the interval they set.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
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. Nothing goes ahead without your agreement.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. We are also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.

How the visit works
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then the work itself, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. Seeing the property in pictures first helps us plan the trip to Tovil.
- Describe the problem and the brand, and mention any code on the display.
- On the diagnosis visit, we test the electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant.
- The fault is explained simply and the repair priced up front.
- Once agreed, the repair goes ahead.
- It’s tested running, and the write-up is left with you.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in

Advice
What the work involves, system by system
VRF systems
In a VRF system, many indoor units share outdoor plant. We use the system’s fault history and codes, then test to confirm and the repair is priced before work begins.
Circuit boards and sensors
We test sensors and boards before replacing them because swapping parts on a guess wastes money. Some parts need ordering from the manufacturer and we’ll explain any wait.
What we are called out for in Tovil
Ice on the pipework or the indoor coil is a symptom, not the fault. It normally points to poor airflow, such as a clogged filter or a fan problem, or to a refrigerant leak. Switch the system off and let it thaw before calling us.
It’s time to call us if you’re dealing with:
- A flashing light and a system that will not run
- A unit that will not start
- A unit that has lost refrigerant
Schools such as Archbishop Courtenay Primary School can report a fault on the 24/7 line and have non-urgent work done out of term.
