What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then the work itself, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Cattawade.
- You describe the fault, the make and any error code, ideally with a photo.
- At the property, readings and tests narrow the problem down to its cause.
- Once the cause is found, we explain it and fix the price for the repair.
- We repair the fault, and where refrigerant is involved, the leak is found and fixed before recharging.
- We run the system, check it’s working properly and note anything else that needs attention.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need

Advice
Air conditioning repair in Cattawade
Any repair we carry out in Cattawade starts the same way: the engineer reads the fault codes and checks the electrics, the airflow, the condensate drain and the refrigerant pressures and temperatures. After that, you get a plain explanation and a fixed price for the repair. We’re often asked to deal with a system that runs but doesn’t cool the room and an error code or flashing light on the unit, on wall-mounted split systems, ducted systems and multi-split systems.
Around Cattawade, 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 periods vary by brand and by product. For example, 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.

FAQs for Cattawade
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Cattawade out of hours?
Yes. Our 24/7 emergency line covers Cattawade. Tell us the make, model and any error code when you call; repair call-outs start from £75 + VAT.
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Cattawade?
It can, as Cattawade is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. We look for corroded coils, fixings and connections on coastal repairs.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
What can I do with an old R22 system?
R22 is an ozone-depleting refrigerant, and new R22 can’t be used for servicing. A fault that doesn’t involve the refrigerant may still be repairable, depending on parts, but a leak usually makes replacement the sensible route. We will set out the options and quote for a replacement where it makes sense.
Can you still repair R410A air conditioning?
Yes. Any leak is repaired before recharging, and the work is recorded, and we tell you honestly whether a repair is worth it on an older system.
Why is water dripping from my indoor unit?
In most cases, it’s the condensate system: a blockage, a kink or a pump that has stopped. Switch the unit off to avoid water damage, then call us.
Owner checks or an engineer?
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: 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.
What affects the quote in Cattawade
Our prices page gives typical ranges, and your quote is built on your job. The quote depends on:
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- The number of rooms, units or zones
The cost depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, how easy the units are to reach and the parts and time the job needs. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The address and the type of property
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
For a fixed-price quote, phone us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line with the address and a few details about the rooms or units involved. Photos help a lot. We reply to enquiries the same working day.

Air conditioning repairs in Cattawade: local notes
Cattawade lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Coastal outdoor units can suffer from corroded coils and terminals, which can lead to poor cooling or trips. About 75% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. If the outdoor unit is high up or behind a locked gate, mention it when you book. About 5 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Cattawade, The Crown Public House (grade II) among them. That only matters for replacements, where a new outdoor unit on a protected building can need consent.
If the display shows a code, write it down: it helps narrow down the fault. Schools such as Brooklands Primary School can report a fault on the 24/7 line and have non-urgent work done out of term.
