Why it’s worth doing now in Friar's Wash
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 system that’s left with a fault, or without a service, normally costs more to run.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we look at the job first, from pictures or on a survey, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What you get with us
- Clear warranty information from the manufacturer
- A site survey and a fixed-price quote
- NICEIC approved for electrical work
- An F-Gas certified company, as the law requires

Friar's Wash questions
Do you cover Friar's Wash for emergency air conditioning repairs?
The emergency line is open around the clock, and Friar's Wash 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.
Is Friar's Wash in your area for air conditioning repair?
Yes, Friar's Wash is within the area we cover. To start, phone us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line with a few pictures.
Why is my air conditioning showing a fault code?
An error code points us in the right direction, but testing confirms the cause. Note the code and switch the system off if it is not working, and ring 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
What warranty do I get?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
How long does the visit take?
The work itself takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. Bigger or more complicated systems take longer, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Why is water dripping from my indoor unit?
The condensate drain or pump is the usual cause: a blocked pipe, a kinked hose or a failed pump. Switch the unit off to avoid water damage, then call us.
How it works
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. The visit takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Friar's Wash.
- We start with what the unit is doing, the make and any code.
- The engineer diagnoses the fault on site, testing rather than guessing.
- The fault is explained simply and the repair priced up front.
- Once agreed, the repair goes ahead.
- The system is run and checked, and you get a written note of the repair.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
