A diagnosis call-out is from £75 + VAT. Once we know the cause, you get a fixed price for the repair before any work goes ahead and nothing goes ahead without your say-so. If you are dealing with a fault code on the display and a unit that has lost refrigerant, we can sort it out.
A visit to Hollingbourne is planned so we can normally finish in one go, though some parts have to be ordered from the manufacturer.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

What the work involves, system by system
Refrigerant leaks
A low refrigerant charge always means a leak. We find it, repair it, pressure test the circuit, evacuate it and recharge to the manufacturer’s charge and every step is recorded.
Wall-mounted split systems
The indoor and outdoor units of a split communicate through a cable. A break in that communication normally brings up an error code, and we test the cable, the boards and the connections to find the cause.
Air conditioning repair in Hollingbourne: the local picture

Wall bracket, ground pad or flat roof: knowing where the outdoor unit is saves time on the day. The middle of Hollingbourne is part of the Hollingbourne Upper Street Conservation Area. 2 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Hollingbourne. Hollingbourne Manor, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 26 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Hollingbourne’s centre. We keep it in mind in case a new outdoor unit is ever needed, as protected buildings can need consent for that.

Common questions in Hollingbourne
Do you cover Hollingbourne for air conditioning repair?
Yes. Hollingbourne is one of the places we cover. Just phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email with a few details.
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Hollingbourne out of hours?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in Hollingbourne. Say what the system is doing and whether it shows a code, and we’ll advise on the next step.
What can I do with an old R22 system?
R22 is an ozone-depleting refrigerant, and new R22 can’t be used for servicing. A fault that does not involve the refrigerant may still be repairable, depending on parts, but a refrigerant leak typically means replacement. We’ll set out the options and quote for a replacement where it makes sense.
What warranty do I get?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
What causes ice on the indoor coil?
Ice is a symptom of low airflow or low refrigerant. A clogged filter, a fan problem or a leak are typical. Switch the system off, let it thaw and give us a ring on 07833 053749 or email us.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
Do you need air conditioning repair in Hollingbourne?
When ice forms on the pipes or coil, something else is wrong. Low airflow from blocked filters or a failing fan, or low refrigerant from a leak, are the common causes. Switch the system off and let it thaw before calling us.

What else we do in Hollingbourne
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves and clutter
- Only let an F-Gas qualified engineer work on the refrigerant
- If there’s ice on the pipes, switch off and let it melt
Where a repair needs parts, we explain what’s been ordered and agree the return visit with you. Parts lead times depend on the supplier, so we keep you posted.
Book an annual service. 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.
From one of our customers
“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.”
