Air conditioning repair in Hankham, done properly
We repair air conditioning on all the main brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Systems fitted by other installers are fine too, so tell us the make and model if you know it. Typical jobs include air conditioning running but not cooling and poor airflow even with clean filters, on heat pumps, ceiling cassettes and ducted systems.
Around Hankham, 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.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Keeping the system healthy
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Ask for the leak to be found, not just a top-up
- Note any error code, or take a photo of the display
- Stop the unit if water is coming through a ceiling
After a repair, the basics matter: clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should. A yearly service catches problems before they become breakdowns.
Use the system sensibly. Moderate settings and a closed room mean less strain and the system doesn’t have to work as hard.

What we do, step by step
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. All told, the work takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. Seeing the property in pictures first means the trip to Hankham can be planned properly.
- First, a few questions by phone or email about the brand, the fault and anything shown on the controller.
- The engineer reads the fault codes and checks the electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant circuit.
- You get a plain explanation of the fault and a fixed price for putting it right.
- The repair is carried out, and any refrigerant work is leak tested and recorded.
- The system is run and checked in every mode, and we tell you about anything else we noticed.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Keep pets and children away from the work area

What a repair looks like in Hankham
At about 3 miles from the coast, Hankham is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor coils and connections, which is one of the things we check on a repair. Corner Cottage, listed at grade II, is one of roughly 14 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Hankham’s centre. Swapping an outdoor unit on a listed building or in a conservation area may need consent, so we will flag it if a replacement is needed. Census 2021 figures found about 79% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. A photo of the outdoor unit and its surroundings tells us what access the visit needs.
Before you call, note what the unit is doing and any code on the controller. Schools such as Hankham Primary School can report a fault on the 24/7 line and have non-urgent work done out of term.

What the work involves, system by system
Wall-mounted split systems
On a wall-mounted split, the indoor and outdoor units talk to each other through a control cable. A break in that communication typically brings up an error code and testing finds whether it’s the cable, a board or a connection.
Condensate drains and pumps
We clear the drain, test the pump and check the fall, so the water goes where it should. If a pump has failed, we replace it and test it before we leave.
How we price air conditioning repair
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but every job is priced on its own. What we look at:
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- The condition of any existing system
- The size of the job
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because every property is different. After a look at the job, by photos or a survey, the price is fixed. To get going, ring us on 07833 053749 or send an email.
Hankham questions
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Hankham?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in Hankham. Have the make, model and error code ready, and we will talk you through what happens next.
Does being near the sea make a difference to air conditioning repair in Hankham?
It can, as Hankham is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. Corrosion on the outdoor unit is one of the things we check when we diagnose a fault.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, on every job. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. It’s worth checking before booking, and we are happy to show ours.
Do you work on all makes?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
Why is not my air con cooling?
It could be a dirty filter, the wrong settings, a blocked outdoor unit, a sensor or board fault, or a refrigerant leak. Check the filter and the settings first, then phone us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier if it’s still not cooling.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Every visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
