What happens on the day
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we show you what we have done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Marley so we arrive with what’s needed.
- It starts with the symptoms: what the unit is doing, the make and any code on the display.
- We diagnose on site, checking the codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant pressures.
- Once the cause is found, we explain it and fix the price for the repair.
- The repair is carried out, and any refrigerant work is leak tested and recorded.
- The system is run and checked in every mode, and we tell you about anything else we noticed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it

How we handle air conditioning repair in Marley
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 agree the next steps. If the problem is a fault code on the display and a unit that won’t start, we can help.
Outdoor units in a place like Marley can be near hedges and fields, and a coil clogged with leaves or seeds is a common cause of weak cooling.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

What a repair looks like in Marley
At about 3 miles from the coast, Marley is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor coils and connections, which is one of the things we check on a repair. The 2021 Census found about 65% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Wall bracket, ground pad or flat roof: knowing where the outdoor unit is saves time on the day. The centre of Marley lies within a conservation area. On the National Heritage List, around 9 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Marley; Thatch Cottage (grade II) is one. For most visits that makes no difference. It only comes up when an outdoor unit has to be replaced on a protected building.
If the display shows a code, write it down: it helps narrow down the fault.

What else we do in Marley
Marley: your questions answered
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Marley?
It can. Marley is within about 3 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. We look for corroded coils, fixings and connections on coastal repairs.
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Marley?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in Marley. A diagnosis call-out starts from £75 + VAT, and knowing the brand and the symptoms helps us plan it.
What can I do with an old R22 system?
Replacement is usually the better answer. R22 can’t be topped up with new gas, and parts for old models are scarce, so a new system on a modern refrigerant is normally the better investment.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
What causes water to leak from an air conditioning unit?
Most of the time, it’s the condensate system: a blocked pipe, a kinked hose or a failed pump. Turn the system off to stop the water and give us a call.
Safe owner checks
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and phone us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
What we are called out for in Marley
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. Switch the system off and let it thaw before calling us.
Look out for any of the following:
- Ice on the pipework or the coil
- A unit that barely blows any air
- Water leaking from the unit or through the ceiling
For a school like Northbourne Church of England Primary School, urgent repairs can be booked right away and bigger work in the holidays.
What to look for in a quote
- What paperwork you will receive afterwards
- Whose warranty applies, and on what terms

Looking after your system
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Send us a photo of any code on the display
- Keep to the service interval the manufacturer recommends
- Do not keep resetting a breaker that trips
After a repair, the basics matter: clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should. An annual service is the best way to catch the next fault before it stops the system.
Clean the filters regularly. Blocked filters cut airflow, which can lead to poor cooling, ice on the coil and drips and the manual shows how to clean them.
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.”
