About our air conditioning repair in Faversham
Our emergency line runs 24/7 for urgent breakdowns, such as a server room overheating or water coming through a ceiling. Call 07833 053749 and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code and we will talk you through what happens next. If the problem is ice on the pipework or the coil and weak airflow from the indoor unit, we can help.
Whether it’s a shop or a house in Faversham, the system is an indoor unit, an outdoor unit and the pipework and wiring that join them. The fault can be at either end, or in between, which is why we test before we replace parts.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

What a repair looks like in Faversham
The coast is only about 3 miles from Faversham. Corroded fins, fixings and electrical connections on outdoor units are more common near the sea, and they can cause faults. The centre of Faversham lies within the Faversham Conservation Area. Draw a one-mile circle round the middle of Faversham and it takes in 3 conservation areas. Church of St Mary Magdalene, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 267 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Faversham’s centre. Day-to-day work on an existing system is not affected; a replacement outdoor unit on a protected building might be. About 40% of households live in terraced houses, according to the 2021 Census. On terraced streets, outdoor units are usually at the back, so tell us how we get to the rear of the property.
If a system fails at a school such as Ethelbert Road Primary School, our 24/7 line takes the call, and planned repairs can wait for the holidays.

Questions from Faversham
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Faversham?
It can, as Faversham is within about 3 miles 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.
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Faversham out of hours?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in Faversham. Have the make, model and error code ready, and we’ll talk you through what happens next.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Are you F-Gas certified?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
Why is not my air con cooling?
It can be anything from a dirty filter to a refrigerant leak. We read any fault code and test the system to find which, then give you a fixed price to fix it.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
The process
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. On site, it takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. We book visits in Faversham at a time that suits you, and business work around your hours.
- Diagnose: test the system until the cause is clear.
- Then the prescription: what’s wrong and what it will cost to put right.
- Where a repair does not make sense, you will hear it from us, with the alternatives.
- Treat: carry out the repair, sealing any leak before refrigerant goes back in.
- Finally, a check that it’s working and a record of what we did.
Before we arrive
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
Getting a price
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. After a look at the job, by photos or a survey, the price is fixed. To get going, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
Advice
Honest limits
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A refrigerant fault on an R22 system (new R22 cannot be used for servicing, so replacement is usually the answer)
- A room that overheats because of the building, such as a lack of shading or ventilation (the system may need help, not a repair)
- No power to the building at all
If you are not sure, just phone 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Multi-split systems
- Ducted systems
- Wall-mounted split systems
- VRF systems
- Ceiling cassettes
- Heat pumps
When to call us in Faversham
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.
These are the situations we see most often:
- A system that runs but doesn’t cool the room
- A system that won’t switch on
- An error code or flashing light on the unit
If your system near Faversham station stops in a hot spell, our 24/7 line is open.
What to look for in a quote
- How VAT is shown, and which rate applies
- Why the equipment they’re quoting suits the job
- What records you get at the end
Why it’s worth doing now in Faversham
If your system uses R22, the options are narrower. R22 depletes the ozone layer, and servicing with new R22 is not allowed, which usually makes replacement the sensible route after a refrigerant fault. We will tell you honestly and quote for a replacement if it makes sense. In a town like Faversham, the first hot week of the year is when most people call, so booking early helps.
A single unit or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the equipment. The price is fixed before we start, with VAT shown clearly.
