Five Ashes questions
Do you cover Five Ashes for air conditioning repair?
Yes, Five Ashes is within the area we cover. To start, call 07833 053749 or send an email with a few pictures.
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Five Ashes?
The emergency line is open around the clock, and Five Ashes is one of the places it covers. A diagnosis call-out starts from £75 + VAT, and knowing the brand and the symptoms helps us plan it.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
What does an air con repair cost?
The first step is a diagnosis, from £75 + VAT, and then you get a fixed price for the repair. Nothing goes ahead without your agreement.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
How long will you be on site?
That depends on what’s involved, but as a guide it takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. We’ll give you a firmer idea when we quote.
Air conditioning repair in Five Ashes, done properly
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 a noisy indoor or outdoor unit and frost on the pipework, we can help.
Around Five Ashes, 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.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.

What air conditioning will not do
Not every problem is solved by air conditioning repair, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- A room that overheats because of the building, such as a lack of shading or ventilation (the system may need help, not a repair)
- A supply fault outside the property
- An R22 system that has lost its refrigerant
Not sure which it is? You can ring us on 07833 053749 or send an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Aftercare tips
Simple habits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Let any ice thaw before the engineer arrives
- Keep to the service interval the manufacturer recommends
- Check the settings and the remote’s batteries first
If the same symptom comes back, tell us right away. Let us know what the system is doing and any code on the display and we will come back to it.
Have the system serviced once a year. A service cleans the coils and drain, checks the electrics and the refrigerant circuit and catches small faults early, which is far simpler than an emergency repair.
Before you call an engineer
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and call 07833 053749 or email us.
Owner care supports servicing; it does not replace it. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you can’t see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Air conditioning repairs in Five Ashes: local notes
Roughly a third of a mile or less from central Five Ashes, you reach the Five Ashes Conservation Area. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 13 within half a mile of the centre, such as Fir Cottage (grade II). That only matters for replacements, where a new outdoor unit on a protected building can need consent. About 69% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Tell us where your outdoor unit is and how to reach it, so we can plan the visit.
Schools such as Five Ashes CofE Primary School can report a fault on the 24/7 line and have non-urgent work done out of term. The make, model and error code are the most useful things to tell us.

A customer’s words
“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.”
