What a repair looks like in Gatcombe
Central Gatcombe is inside a conservation area. Church of St Olave, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 14 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Gatcombe’s centre. If a repair turns into a replacement on a listed building or in a conservation area, we check the planning position before changing the outdoor unit. The 2021 Census found about 66% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Let us know where the outdoor unit sits and whether a ladder is needed to reach it.
Schools such as Chillerton and Rookley Primary School can report a fault on the 24/7 line and have non-urgent work done out of term.

Common problems we fix in Gatcombe
Refrigerant leaks often start at joints: joints, valves and sections of pipe worn by vibration or damage. Coils can corrode and leak too and many leaks are slow enough to go unnoticed for a while.
Customers typically contact us after spotting something like this:
- A system that will not switch on
- A unit that barely blows any air
- A unit that has lost refrigerant
The make, model and error code are the most useful things to tell us.

Gatcombe: your questions answered
Will you come out to Gatcombe?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Do you cover Gatcombe for air conditioning repair?
Yes, Gatcombe is within the area we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
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. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Why does my air conditioning run but not cool?
It can be anything from a dirty filter to a refrigerant leak. We read any fault code and test the system to find which and you get a fixed price before the repair.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
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 will work out which band applies to yours.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer so it’s worth keeping the service records.
How much does an air conditioning repair cost?
A diagnosis call-out is from £75 + VAT. When we have found the fault, the repair is priced before we do it. The final cost depends on the fault, the parts and the access.
Fixed-price quotes for air conditioning repair in Gatcombe

Before you get in touch
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:

What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: check the plan with you, protect the area, carry out the job, test what we’ve done and talk you through it. On site, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Gatcombe easier.
- First, a few questions by phone or email about the brand, the fault and anything shown on the controller.
- At the property, readings and tests narrow the problem down to its cause.
- Nothing is repaired until you’ve heard what’s wrong and agreed a fixed price.
- We repair the fault, and where refrigerant is involved, the leak is found and fixed before recharging.
- The system is run and checked in every mode, and we tell you about anything else we noticed.
Preparing for the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property

What the work involves, system by system
Condensate drains and pumps
We clear the drain, test the pump and check the fall until the condensate runs away properly. If a pump has failed, we replace it and tested before we go.
Ducted and cassette systems
If water is coming through the ceiling, switch the unit off and call us. A failed pump, a blocked drain or an overflowing tray is usually behind it and the diagnosis covers each of them.
