Air conditioning repair in Ightham
A sealed system shouldn’t lose refrigerant, so if it’s low, there’s a leak. Simply adding gas means it will leak away again. We find and fix the leak, pressure test, evacuate and recharge to the manufacturer’s charge, then record it in the F-Gas records. If the problem is new noises from the system and a suspected refrigerant leak, we can sort it out.
Around Ightham, 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.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

Aftercare tips
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Turn the system off if it’s dripping water
- Turn it off and let ice clear before the visit
- Rule out the simple causes first: filter, mode and temperature
Where a repair needs parts, we explain what’s been ordered and agree the return visit with you. We do not promise dates we cannot control, so we keep you posted.
Sensible use helps. Moderate settings and a closed room mean less strain and the system does not have to work as hard.
Rented and managed buildings
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is and we are happy to deal with whoever it is.
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit is written up, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
How it works
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it does not catch you out. For businesses, we can usually work room by room or zone by zone. The work takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. For a village like Ightham, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- You describe the fault, the make and any error code, ideally with a photo.
- On the diagnosis visit, the engineer tests the system rather than guessing.
- Nothing is repaired until you’ve heard what’s wrong and agreed a fixed price.
- With your agreement the part is replaced or the fault put right, and refrigerant work goes in the F-Gas log.
- The system is run and checked in every mode, and we tell you about anything else we noticed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them

Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 13 within half a mile of the centre, such as Harrow Cottage (grade II). 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 last census (2021) found about 73% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Tell us where your outdoor unit is and how to reach it, so we can plan the visit.

Common problems we fix in Ightham
Ice on the pipework or the indoor coil is a symptom, not the fault. Low airflow from blocked filters or a failing fan, or low refrigerant from a leak, are the common causes. Turn it off and let the ice melt, then call us.
Customers normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- A unit that has lost refrigerant
- An error code or flashing light on the unit
- A unit that barely blows any air
For a school like Ightham Primary School, urgent repairs can be booked right away and bigger work in the holidays.

Questions from Ightham
Is Ightham within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Ightham out of hours?
Ightham is within our area, and the emergency line is open 24/7. A diagnosis call-out starts from £75 + VAT, and knowing the brand and the symptoms helps us plan it.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We start with protection: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
How long does the visit take?
The work itself takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive. Larger systems naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
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.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
