About our air conditioning repair in Catmore
Wondering whether the fault is something simple? Check the filter, the mode, the set temperature and the remote’s batteries first, and if that doesn’t fix it, call 07833 053749 or drop us a line. You will hear back from us the same working day. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, multi-split systems and VRF systems, and people most often call us about ice on the pipework or the coil and a flashing light and a system that won’t run.
Around Catmore, repairs tend to be home systems, garden rooms and a few businesses. A photo of the unit’s label and a description of the fault help us plan.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

How it works
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Catmore.
- Diagnose: test the system until the cause is clear.
- Prescribe: tell you the cause and the fixed cost of the cure.
- If the repair isn’t worth doing, we say so and explain the options.
- The treatment: the repair itself, with any leak found and fixed before recharging.
- Sign off: prove it works and record the visit.
Preparing for the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process

Advice
What the work involves, system by system
Refrigerant leaks
Adding refrigerant without a repair is not a fix and the gas simply leaks out again. We always find and fix the leak first.
Multi-split systems
Refrigerant leaks on a multi-split can be anywhere on several pipe runs. Each run is checked before the system is repaired, tested and recharged.

Aftercare tips
Simple habits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Book an annual service after the repair
- Write down the fault code if there is one
- Clear debris away from the outdoor fan
The repair is written up: the cause, the parts fitted and any refrigerant added or recovered. Refrigerant work goes into the F-Gas records and it belongs with the system’s paperwork.
Filter cleaning is the simplest prevention there is. Blocked filters cut airflow, which can lead to poor cooling, ice on the coil and drips, so keep them clean as the manual describes.
Air conditioning repair around Catmore
On the National Heritage List, around 3 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Catmore; Church of St Margaret (grade I) is one. Day-to-day work on an existing system is not affected; a replacement outdoor unit on a protected building might be. The last census (2021) found about 83% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Access to the outdoor unit is the one detail that most changes how a visit is planned.
Many breakdowns start small, with a drip, a smell or a unit that takes longer to cool. A photo of the error code and the unit’s rating label helps us plan the repair.

Leave it or put it right?
Running with a fault wastes electricity. A dirty coil, a blocked filter or a low refrigerant charge all make the system work harder for less cooling, and the extra strain can shorten the life of the compressor. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
Every job is different, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.

FAQs for Catmore
Will you come out to Catmore?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Do you cover Catmore for air conditioning repair?
Yes. Catmore is one of the places we cover. Just phone 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with a few details.
How long will you be on site?
That depends on what’s involved, but in most cases it takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. We’ll confirm it with the quote.
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 cost depends on the fault, the parts and access to the units.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. We’re also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
Can you repair an R22 air conditioning system?
R22 is an ozone-depleting refrigerant, and new R22 cannot be used for servicing. Some non-refrigerant faults can be repaired if parts are available, but a refrigerant leak normally means replacement. We explain the options and quote for a new system if that is the answer.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
