What we’re called out for in Newgate Street
Noises normally have a mechanical cause. Worn fan bearings, loose panels, debris in the outdoor fan or pipework vibrating against the building are common and some point to a compressor problem.
Look out for any of the following:
- A flashing light and a system that won’t run
- Weak airflow from the indoor unit
- A system that will not switch on
The make, model and error code are the most useful things to tell us.

About our air conditioning repair in Newgate Street
A sealed system shouldn’t lose refrigerant, so if it’s low, there’s a leak. Topping up without a repair only delays the next breakdown. We find and fix the leak, pressure test, evacuate and recharge to the manufacturer’s charge, then record it in the F-Gas records. Common call-outs are for a noisy indoor or outdoor unit and a system that keeps cutting out, on ceiling cassettes, ducted systems and heat pumps.
A visit to Newgate Street is planned so we can typically finish in one go, unless a part has to come from the manufacturer.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order, and every service is written up.

When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A building problem rather than a system fault
- A discontinued model with no parts available
- A refrigerant fault on an R22 system (new R22 cannot be used for servicing, so replacement is typically the answer)
Not sure which it is? You can call 07833 053749 and we’ll tell you honestly.

FAQs for Newgate Street
Do you cover Newgate Street for air conditioning repair?
We do: Newgate Street falls inside our working area. Just phone us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form with a few details.
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Newgate Street?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in Newgate Street. Have the make, model and error code ready, and we will talk you through what happens next.
What can I do with an old R22 system?
R22 is an ozone-depleting refrigerant, and new R22 cannot be used for servicing. A fault that does not involve the refrigerant may still be repairable, depending on parts, but a leak usually makes replacement the sensible route. We’ll set out the options and quote for a replacement where it makes sense.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
Will you make a mess?
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.
How much does an air conditioning repair cost?
A diagnosis call-out is from £75 + VAT. Once we know the cause, you get a fixed price for the repair before any work goes ahead. The cost depends on the fault, the parts and access to the units.

Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help:
- Turn it off and let ice clear before the visit
- Never add refrigerant yourself or let anyone top up without finding the leak
- Stop the unit if water is coming through a ceiling
If parts are needed, we tell you what’s on order and book the return visit with you. Parts lead times depend on the supplier and we’ll keep you updated.
Give the outdoor unit space. Anything blocking the outdoor unit makes the whole system strain and debris drawn into the fan can cause noise and damage.
What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: agree the plan on site, protect the area, do the work, test what we have done and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. If a lane or gateway near Newgate Street is tight for a van, let us know and we’ll plan for it.
- Describe the problem and the brand, and mention any code on the display.
- A diagnosis visit finds the cause with proper tests.
- The fault is explained simply and the repair priced up front.
- Once agreed, the repair goes ahead.
- The system is run and checked, and you get a written note of the repair.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
