Hollow Street’s centre falls inside the Hollow Street and Chislet Forstal Conservation Area. In the mile around Hollow Street’s centre, 5 conservation areas have been designated. Church of St Mary the Virgin, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 6 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Hollow Street’s centre. For most visits that makes no difference. It only comes up when an outdoor unit has to be replaced on a protected building.
When cooling fails at a school like Chislet Church of England Primary School, we can time non-urgent repair work around lessons. The rating label on the unit gives the model number, which helps us bring the right parts.

About our air conditioning repair in Hollow Street
Refrigerant doesn’t get used up, so if it’s low, there’s a leak. Simply adding gas means it will leak away again. We locate the leak, repair it, test, evacuate and recharge and write it up in the F-Gas records. If the problem is weak airflow from the indoor unit and rattling, buzzing or grinding noises, we can sort it out.
Outdoor units in a place like Hollow Street can be near hedges and fields, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs on the coil are worth checking first.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order, and every service is written up.

Questions from Hollow Street
Will you come out to Hollow Street?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Hollow Street out of hours?
Yes. Our 24/7 emergency line covers Hollow Street. Say what the system is doing and whether it shows a code, and we’ll advise on the next step.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Hollow Street and across Kent. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Why is my air conditioning showing a fault code?
Codes differ by brand, and the same code can cover several faults. Send us a photo of the display with the make and model, and we will diagnose the fault on site.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some brands make regular servicing a condition so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, 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.
My system uses R410A. Can it still be repaired?
Yes. Repairing and recharging existing R410A systems is still legal. As the GB phase-down continues, R410A is getting harder and dearer to buy and we talk through repair against replacement for older systems.
When it’s something else
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A supply fault outside the property
- A unit that was never big enough for the room
- A room that overheats because of the building, such as a lack of shading or ventilation (the system may need help, not a repair)
If you are not sure, just ring 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What else we do in Hollow Street
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. The visit takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. Seeing the property in pictures first means the trip to Hollow Street can be planned properly.
- Diagnose: test the system until the cause is clear.
- Then the prescription: what’s wrong and what it will cost to put right.
- Where a repair does not make sense, you will hear it from us, with the alternatives.
- The treatment: the repair itself, with any leak found and fixed before recharging.
- Finally, a check that it’s working and a record of what we did.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
