Air conditioning repair in Ducklington, done properly
Refrigerant does not get used up, so a low charge means a leak somewhere. Topping up without a repair only delays the next breakdown. We locate the leak, repair it, test, evacuate and recharge and write it up in the F-Gas records. If the problem is a system that won’t switch on and a system that needs topping up again, we can sort it out.
Around Ducklington, repairs tend to be home systems, garden rooms and a few businesses. Describe the fault and send a photo of the unit’s label so we can plan the visit.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

How we price air conditioning repair
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- What state the existing equipment is in
- The size of the job
- What electrical work the job needs
One room or a whole building, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the equipment. The price is fixed before any work starts, with VAT shown clearly.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Send what you can of the following:
- Your installation or service records
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your pictures and details. Then you get a fixed price before any work starts.
What the work involves, system by system
Circuit boards and sensors
Boards and sensors are the system’s nervous system. A failed sensor can make a unit stop, run oddly or show an error code and boards can fail with age or after electrical problems.
Multi-split systems
Refrigerant leaks on a multi-split can be anywhere on several pipe runs. We test each run to find it, then repair, pressure test and recharge.

Signs you need air conditioning repair in Ducklington
When ice forms on the pipes or coil, something else is wrong. Low airflow from blocked filters or a failing fan, or low refrigerant from a leak, are the common causes. Switch the system off and let it thaw before calling us.
It’s time to call us if you are dealing with:
- A system that runs but does not cool the room
- A noisy indoor or outdoor unit
- Frost on the pipework
If the display shows a code, write it down: it helps narrow down the fault.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included

Ducklington: your questions answered
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Ducklington?
The emergency line is open around the clock, and Ducklington is one of the places it covers. Tell us the make, model and any error code when you call; repair call-outs start from £75 + VAT.
Do you cover Ducklington for air conditioning repair?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Ducklington is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with a few details.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
What does the error code on my air conditioning mean?
Each manufacturer uses its own codes, and one code can have more than one cause. Tell us the code, the make and the model and we’ll test the system to confirm the cause.
What can I do with an old R22 system?
Servicing with new R22 isn’t allowed, because it depletes the ozone layer. A fault that doesn’t involve the refrigerant may still be repairable, depending on parts, but a leak normally makes replacement the sensible route. We’ll set out the options and quote for a replacement where it makes sense.
What causes water to leak from an air conditioning unit?
Most leaks come from a blocked drain, a failed pump or a unit that has dropped out of level. Ice on the coil from low airflow or low refrigerant can also melt and drip. Switch the unit off and ring us on 07833 053749 or send an email.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
From one of our customers
“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.”
