How the visit works
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. The visit takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. Seeing the property in pictures first helps us plan the trip to Whitley.
- Tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and send a photo of the display if you can.
- We diagnose on site, checking the codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant pressures.
- Once the cause is found, we explain it and fix the price for the repair.
- With your agreement the part is replaced or the fault put right, and refrigerant work goes in the F-Gas log.
- We run the system, check it’s working properly and note anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them

What else we do in Whitley
Common questions in Whitley
Do you cover Whitley for emergency air conditioning repairs?
Yes. Our 24/7 emergency line covers Whitley. Say what the system is doing and whether it shows a code, and we will advise on the next step.
Do you cover Whitley for air conditioning repair?
Yes, Whitley is within the area we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. 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.
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. Switch the system off, let it thaw and call us on 07833 053749 or send an email.
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.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
How much does an air conditioning repair cost?
A diagnosis call-out is from £75 + VAT. Once we know the cause, you get a fixed price for the repair before any work goes ahead. The final cost depends on the fault, the parts and the access.
For landlords and property managers
We work for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as homeowners and businesses. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to, and we’ll keep everyone informed.
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system, and we can work for either side.
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, some problems need a different answer:
- Heat gains the system was never designed for
- A discontinued model with no parts available
- A unit that was never big enough for the room
Not sure which it is? You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.

Air conditioning repair in Whitley: the local picture

Wall bracket, ground pad or flat roof: knowing where the outdoor unit is saves time on the day. Whitley is about 38 miles from central London, well within the area we cover from our base in East Grinstead.

Looking after it afterwards
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Turn the system off if it’s dripping water
- Check the settings and the remote’s batteries first
- Only let an F-Gas qualified engineer work on the refrigerant
Where a repair needs parts, we explain what’s been ordered and agree the return visit with you. We do not promise dates we cannot control and we’ll keep you updated.
Book an annual service. A service cleans the coils and drain, checks the electrics and the refrigerant circuit and catches small faults early and that’s typically simpler than a breakdown repair.
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.”
