How we handle air conditioning repair in Wickham
Diagnosis call-outs start 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 system that runs but doesn’t cool the room and drips from the indoor unit, on wall-mounted split systems, multi-split systems and heat pumps.
Outdoor units around Wickham often sit near hedges, trees and lawns, where leaves and cuttings can clog the coil and cut the cooling. That is one of the first things we check.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

When to call us in Wickham
Leaks tend to start where pipes are joined: flare connections, brazed joints and valves, or pipework damaged or rubbed through by vibration. Corrosion on coils can also cause leaks over time, and a slow leak can go unnoticed until the system stops cooling.
Customers usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Rattling, buzzing or grinding noises
- A system that will not switch on
- An error code or flashing light on the unit
Schools such as Wickham Church of England Primary School can report a fault on the 24/7 line and have non-urgent work done out of term.

What owners can safely do
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.

What affects the quote in Wickham
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- The pipe route between the units
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we look at the job first, from pictures or on a survey, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. Once we’ve looked at the job, from photos or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To start, phone us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Questions from Wickham
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Wickham?
Yes. Our 24/7 emergency line covers Wickham. Tell us the make, model and any error code when you call; repair call-outs start from £75 + VAT.
Do you cover Wickham for air conditioning repair?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Wickham is part of that. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
What can I do with an old R22 system?
Most of the time, we recommend replacement. New R22 cannot be used to service systems, and parts for older units are getting harder to find, so a new system on a modern refrigerant is typically the better investment.
When will I hear back?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
How long does the visit take?
The work itself takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. Larger systems naturally take longer, and the quote will say how long.
What does the error code on my air conditioning mean?
The code is the system’s own clue to the fault, but testing confirms the cause. Note the code and switch the system off if it isn’t working, and give us a ring on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
The process
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. All told, the work takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. We load the van from the survey notes so the work in Wickham can be done in one go where possible.
- You tell us the symptoms, the make and any error code.
- The engineer diagnoses the fault on site, testing rather than guessing.
- We explain the cause in plain English and give you a fixed price.
- With your go-ahead, we carry out the repair, recording any refrigerant work.
- We test the system in operation and leave you a note of the fault and the fix.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
