- A suspected refrigerant leak

How it works
You do not need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and the rest is down to us. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. Visits to Inkpen Common are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- It starts with the symptoms: what the unit is doing, the make and any code on the display.
- 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.
- The fix goes in, with any refrigerant work tested and written into the F-Gas records.
- We run the system, check it’s working properly and note anything else that needs attention.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
How to get a quote
Getting a quote is straightforward. Call or email with a few details and we’ll come back to you the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.

Air conditioning repair in Inkpen Common
Our emergency line runs 24/7 for urgent breakdowns, from an overheating comms room to water leaking from a unit. Ring 07833 053749 with the make, what’s happening and any code and we will talk you through what happens next.

Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer, so keep it safe.

From a single flat to a whole estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, access agreed with the people on site and paperwork at the end.
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
Air conditioning repair in Inkpen Common: the local picture
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures put about 38% of homes in and around Inkpen Common before 1919, and about 79% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Access to the outdoor unit is the one detail that most changes how a visit is planned. Historic England lists about 4 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Inkpen Common, including Thornton Cottage (grade II). We keep it in mind in case a new outdoor unit is ever needed, as protected buildings can need consent for that.

Your questions about air conditioning repair in Inkpen Common
Will you come out to Inkpen Common?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Can you do air conditioning repair in Inkpen Common?
Yes. Inkpen Common is one of the places we cover. To start, ring us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few pictures.
Why is my air conditioning icing up?
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 call us on 07833 053749 or email us.
What can I do with an old R22 system?
Replacement is typically the better answer. R22 can’t be topped up with new gas, and parts for old models are scarce, so we will quote for a modern replacement and explain why.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Which brands do you work with?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
Why isn’t my air con cooling?
It can be anything from a dirty filter to a refrigerant leak. Diagnosis confirms the cause, then give you a fixed price to fix it.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly:
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves and clutter
- Note any error code, or take a photo of the display
- If the breaker trips twice, leave it off
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 and we will keep you updated.
Have the system serviced once a year. The engineer cleans what you cannot reach and picks up problems before they cause a breakdown, which is far simpler than an emergency repair.
What a customer said
“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.”
