Air conditioning repair for homes and businesses in Puttenham
Refrigerant does not get used up, so a low charge means a leak somewhere. Simply adding gas means it will leak away again. We find and fix the leak, pressure test, evacuate and recharge to the manufacturer’s charge, then record it in the F-Gas records. The work covers VRF systems, wall-mounted split systems and multi-split systems, and common reasons people get in touch are ice forming on the indoor unit or pipes and water leaking from the unit or through the ceiling.
In a village like Puttenham, most air conditioning we repair is in homes, garden rooms and the occasional pub or village business. Describe the fault and send a photo of the unit’s label so we can plan the visit.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Puttenham
Whether it’s one property or many, the approach is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, access agreed with the people on site and paperwork at the end.
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system and we’re happy to deal with whoever it is.
Before you call an engineer
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Write down what you notice: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
When air con fails in Puttenham
Roughly a third of a mile or less from central Puttenham, you reach the Puttenham Conservation Area. In the mile around Puttenham’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. On the National Heritage List, around 22 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Puttenham; Church of St John the Baptist (grade II*) is one. Swapping an outdoor unit on a listed building or in a conservation area may need consent, so we’ll flag it if a replacement is needed. The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 36% of homes in the Puttenham area were built in 2000 or later, and about 67% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Wall bracket, ground pad or flat roof: knowing where the outdoor unit is saves time on the day.
The make, model and error code are the most useful things to tell us. If a system fails at a school such as Puttenham CofE Infant School, our 24/7 line takes the call, and planned repairs can wait for the holidays.

Puttenham questions
Is Puttenham in your area for air conditioning repair?
Yes. Puttenham is one of the places we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Will you come out to Puttenham?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Can you repair an R22 air conditioning system?
Replacement is normally the better answer. R22 can’t be topped up with new gas, and parts for old models are scarce, so we’ll quote for a modern replacement and explain why.
What does an air con repair cost?
Diagnosis call-outs start from £75 + VAT. When we have found the fault, the repair is priced before we do it. The cost depends on the fault, the parts and access to the units.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. The work itself takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. For a village like Puttenham, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First the diagnosis: fault codes read, electrics and airflow checked, drain and refrigerant tested.
- Then the prescription: what’s wrong and what it will cost to put right.
- 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.
- Finally, a check that it’s working and a record of what we did.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits

- Cooling that falls short because the system is too small
- A power cut or a fault on the incoming supply to the building (that is for the network operator)
- Heat gains the system was never designed for
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

A customer’s words
“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.”
