What a repair looks like in Rock-a-Nore
Rock-a-Nore lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor coils and connections, which is one of the things we check on a repair. The middle of Rock-a-Nore is part of the Old Town, Hastings Conservation Area. 4 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Rock-a-Nore. Church of St Clement, listed at grade II*, is one of roughly 384 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Rock-a-Nore’s centre. 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. VOA council tax data put about 75% of homes across Rock-a-Nore and its surrounding area before 1919, and the last census (2021) found about 46% of households live in flats. In flats, outdoor units are often on balconies, roofs or high walls, so tell us how we reach yours.
Schools such as Ark Castledown Primary Academy can report a fault on the 24/7 line and have non-urgent work done out of term. Near Ore station, as anywhere, a photo of the error code on the controller is the quickest way to start a repair.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and ring 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
How it works
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. So on the day, you do not need a separate electrician for the electrical side. On site, it takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. In a place like Rock-a-Nore, parking is rarely an issue, but tell us about gates and access to the back of the property.
- You describe the fault, the make and any error code, ideally with a photo.
- The engineer reads the fault codes and checks the electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant circuit.
- We explain the cause and give you a fixed price for the repair before any work goes ahead.
- We repair the fault, and where refrigerant is involved, the leak is found and fixed before recharging.
- Finally the system is tested in operation and you get a note of the fault and the fix.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in

Related advice
Common questions in Rock-a-Nore
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Rock-a-Nore?
The emergency line is open around the clock, and Rock-a-Nore is one of the places it covers. Have the make, model and error code ready, and we will talk you through what happens next.
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Rock-a-Nore?
It can, as Rock-a-Nore is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. We look for corroded coils, fixings and connections on coastal repairs.
Why is water dripping from my indoor unit?
Usually a blocked or kinked condensate drain, a failed condensate pump or a unit that isn’t level. Ice that forms on the coil and melts can cause drips too. Turn it off and call us on 07833 053749 or send an email.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Will you make a mess?
We start with protection: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
How much is an air conditioning call-out?
It starts with a diagnosis call-out from £75 + VAT, followed by a fixed price for the repair. Nothing goes ahead without your agreement.
System by system
Multi-split systems
With several pipe runs, finding a leak on a multi-split takes method. We test each run to find it, then repair, pressure test and recharge.
Ducted and cassette systems
Ducted units and cassettes sit above the ceiling, so access matters. Condensate pumps are common on both, and a failed pump is a frequent cause of water leaks.
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.”
