Wall bracket, ground pad or flat roof: knowing where the outdoor unit is saves time on the day. The Thorndon Park Conservation Area lies close to the centre of Ingrave, within about a third of a mile. In the mile around Ingrave’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. Thorndon Hall, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 10 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Ingrave’s centre. For most visits that makes no difference.

Honest limits
Air conditioning repair can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not put right:
- No power to the building at all
- A room that overheats because of the building, such as a lack of shading or ventilation (the system may need help, not a repair)
- A unit that was never big enough for the room
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

How it works
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. On site, it takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Ingrave.
- Diagnosis comes first: codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant.
- Next, a plain explanation and a fixed price.
- If the repair isn’t worth doing, we say so and explain the options.
- Then the fix, with leaks repaired before any refrigerant is added.
- Sign off: prove it works and record the visit.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Let us know where we can park and unload

Questions from Ingrave
Is Ingrave in your area for air conditioning repair?
Yes. Ingrave is one of the places we cover. Just call 07833 053749 with a few details.
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Ingrave out of hours?
Ingrave is within our area, and the emergency line is open 24/7. Say what the system is doing and whether it shows a code, and we’ll advise on the next step.
Why is my air conditioning showing a fault code?
An error code points us in the right direction, but it is not the whole answer. Write down the code and turn the unit off if it has stopped, and call 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it, and the quote is based on that.
How much does an air conditioning repair cost?
The first step is a diagnosis, from £75 + VAT, followed by a fixed price for the repair. Nothing goes ahead without your agreement.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, usually whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Fixed-price quotes for air conditioning repair in Ingrave
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- What electrical work the job needs
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we look at the job first, from pictures or on a survey, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from photos and measurements. Then you get a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
Looking after it afterwards
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. Our tips:
- Do not keep resetting a breaker that trips
- Ask for the leak to be found, not just a top-up
- Turn the system off if it’s dripping water
Where a repair isn’t worth doing, we say so, with the reasons. If replacement is the better option, we can quote for it on the same visit.
Book an annual service. The engineer cleans what you cannot reach and picks up problems before they cause a breakdown and that is typically simpler than a breakdown repair.
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.”
