On the National Heritage List, around 7 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Upper Wellingham; Wellingham Cottages (grade II) is one. Swapping an outdoor unit on a listed building or in a conservation area may need consent, so we will flag it if a replacement is needed. About 70% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). A photo of the outdoor unit and its surroundings tells us what access the visit needs.

Questions from Upper Wellingham
Is Upper Wellingham within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Can you do air conditioning repair in Upper Wellingham?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Upper Wellingham is part of that. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Can you still repair R410A air conditioning?
Yes. We find and fix the leak, then recharge with R410A and record it in the F-Gas records and we will give you an honest view on whether it’s worth it.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Can you come out for an emergency air conditioning repair?
Yes. We have a 24/7 emergency line for urgent breakdowns. Call 07833 053749 and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code and we’ll talk you through what happens next.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Why isn’t my air con cooling?
There are several possible causes, from simple to serious. We read any fault code and test the system to find which and you get a fixed price before the repair.
System by system
Fans and compressors
The compressor is the heart of the system. Before blaming the compressor, we check the electrics and the refrigerant circuit. A failed compressor often raises the repair-or-replace question, and we give you both prices.
Refrigerant leaks
Topping up without finding the leak only delays the next breakdown and the gas simply leaks out again. We always find and fix the leak first.
The process
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then the work itself, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. The middle part takes longest, which takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. A few photos help us make the most of a visit to Upper Wellingham.
- It starts with the symptoms: what the unit is doing, the make and any code on the display.
- At the property, readings and tests narrow the problem down to its cause.
- You get a plain explanation of the fault and a fixed price for putting it right.
- The repair is carried out, and any refrigerant work is leak tested and recorded.
- We run the system, check it’s working properly and note anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
