Air conditioning repair for homes and businesses in Whitesmith
A diagnosis call-out is from £75 + VAT. When the cause is found, the repair is priced before anything else is done and nothing goes ahead without your say-so. Common call-outs are for a suspected refrigerant leak and frost on the pipework, across multi-split systems, wall-mounted split systems and ceiling cassettes.
In a village like Whitesmith, most air conditioning we repair is in homes, garden rooms and the occasional pub or village business. Describe the fault and send a photo of the unit’s label so we can plan the visit.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For instance, 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.

Rented and managed buildings
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
If you look after several properties, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Every address has its own paperwork, so each one has its own history.
Why it’s worth doing now in Whitesmith
A struggling system costs more to run. A dirty coil, a blocked filter or a low refrigerant charge all make the system work harder for less cooling and the extra work wears the parts faster. For a village like Whitesmith, booking ahead lets us plan the trip properly.
Every job is different, so we price each one individually. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all make a difference.
Why people in Whitesmith choose us
- One contact for properties across the South East and London

What we do, step by step
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your pictures or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. A few pictures help us make the most of a visit to Whitesmith.
- 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.
- The system is run and checked in every mode, and we tell you about anything else we noticed.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go

Advice
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different answer:
- No power to the building at all
- A discontinued model with no parts available
- A refrigerant fault on an R22 system (new R22 cannot be used for servicing, so replacement is typically the answer)
Not sure which it is? You can phone 07833 053749 or send an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Air conditioning repair in Whitesmith: the local picture
Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 4 within half a mile of the centre, such as Burchetts Cottage (grade II). That only matters for replacements, where a new outdoor unit on a protected building can need consent. The 2021 Census found about 82% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Let us know where the outdoor unit sits and whether a ladder is needed to reach it.
If the display shows a code, write it down: it helps narrow down the fault. Schools such as Chiddingly Primary School can report a fault on the 24/7 line and have non-urgent work done out of term.

What a customer said
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
