Air conditioning repair for homes and businesses in Westmeston
A sealed system shouldn’t lose refrigerant, so a low charge means a leak somewhere. Simply adding gas means it will leak away again. We find and fix the leak, pressure test, evacuate and recharge to the manufacturer’s charge, then record it in the F-Gas records. The work covers VRF systems, heat pumps and multi-split systems, and the jobs we see most are an error code or flashing light on the unit and water leaking from the unit or through the ceiling.
Around Westmeston, outdoor units often sit close to gardens and hedges, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs on the coil are worth checking first.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

Why act early in Westmeston
If your system uses R22, the options are narrower. R22 depletes the ozone layer, and servicing with new R22 isn’t allowed, so a refrigerant fault on an R22 system typically points to replacement. We will tell you honestly and quote for a replacement if it makes sense. Booking before summer means the work in Westmeston is done before the hot weather.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is looked at first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

Questions from Westmeston
Is Westmeston in your area for air conditioning repair?
Yes, Westmeston is within the area we cover. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the quote form with a few details.
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Westmeston out of hours?
Yes. Our 24/7 emergency line covers Westmeston. A diagnosis call-out starts from £75 + VAT, and knowing the brand and the symptoms helps us plan it.
What does an air con repair cost?
The first step is a diagnosis, from £75 + VAT, and then you get a fixed price for the repair. Nothing goes ahead without your agreement.
My system uses R410A. Can it still be repaired?
Yes. Any leak is repaired before recharging, and the work is recorded and we will give you an honest view on whether it’s worth it.
Do you work on all makes?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
Why is my air conditioning icing up?
When airflow drops or refrigerant is lost, the coil gets cold enough to ice. A dirty filter is worth checking first and if that isn’t it, we will find the cause.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
Let and managed properties
From a single flat to a whole estate, you get the same standard: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is, and we can work for either side.
Do you need air conditioning repair in Westmeston?
When the fan runs but the air is not cold, there are some common causes: dirty filters, wrong settings, a blocked outdoor unit, a sensor or board fault, or a refrigerant leak. Diagnosis narrows it down.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Weak airflow from the indoor unit
- Frost on the pipework
- Rattling, buzzing or grinding noises
A photo of the error code and the unit’s rating label helps us plan the repair.

- Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning
