Air conditioning repair in New Hinksey: the local picture
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures put about 39% of homes across New Hinksey and its surrounding area before 1919, and about 41% of households live in terraced houses, according to Census 2021 figures. With a terrace, access to the rear for the outdoor unit is the main thing to tell us. 2 conservation areas lie within a mile of central New Hinksey. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 13 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of St Lawrence (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.
If the display shows a code, write it down: it helps narrow down the fault. When cooling fails at a school like New Hinksey Church of England Primary School, we can time non-urgent repair work around lessons.

What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: diagnose, treat and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. Visits to a place like New Hinksey are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the job needs.
- Describe the problem and the brand, and mention any code on the display.
- On the diagnosis visit, we test the electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant.
- The fault is explained simply and the repair priced up front.
- Once you are happy, the repair is done and any refrigerant work recorded.
- It’s tested running, and the write-up is left with you.
How to prepare
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area

What the work involves, system by system
Refrigerant leaks
Adding refrigerant without a repair isn’t a fix and the gas simply leaks out again. We always find and fix the leak first.
Ducted and cassette systems
If water is coming through the ceiling, switch the unit off and call us. The cause is typically the condensate pump, a blocked drain or a tray that is overflowing, and we check all three.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
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 can work for either side.
Common questions in New Hinksey
Is New Hinksey within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Is New Hinksey in your area for air conditioning repair?
Yes. New Hinksey is one of the places we cover. Just phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email with a few details.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. That is not optional: it’s required by law, and we hold it.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Send us the make and model and we’ll tell you what the manufacturer expects, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically 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 every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Is it legal to repair an R410A system?
Yes. We find and fix the leak, then recharge with R410A and record it in the F-Gas records and we’ll give you an honest view on whether it’s worth it.

What else we do in New Hinksey
After we have gone
So the system stays in good health:
- Turn it off and let ice clear before the visit
- Rule out the simple causes first: filter, mode and temperature
- Never add refrigerant yourself or let anyone top up without finding the leak
After the repair, the system is run and checked in every mode it has. We confirm it’s working properly and look for anything else that needs attention, and we tell you about anything we noticed.
Have the system serviced once a year. A service cleans the coils and drain, checks the electrics and the refrigerant circuit and catches small faults early and that is normally simpler than a breakdown repair.
What a customer said
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
