Air conditioning repair in Rough Common
A sealed system shouldn’t lose refrigerant, so a low charge means a leak somewhere. Simply adding gas means it will leak away again. We locate the leak, repair it, test, evacuate and recharge, then record it in the F-Gas records. If the problem is a unit blowing warm air and weak airflow from the indoor unit, we can help.
Around Rough Common, outdoor units often sit close to gardens and hedges, and a coil clogged with leaves or seeds is a common cause of weak cooling.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

How we price air conditioning repair
Your quote is based on your property. We consider:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- What kind of system it is
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
What you pay depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, the access and what the work involves. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
Good photos often save a visit. Try to include:
- The address and the type of property
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
Here’s what helps us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, a few pictures, the make and model of any existing system and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Then call us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
What we do, step by step
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before we start, so you can plan around it. For businesses, we can typically work room by room or zone by zone. The work takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Rough Common.
- Diagnosis comes first: codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant.
- Next, a plain explanation and a fixed price.
- Where a repair doesn’t make sense, you will hear it from us, with the alternatives.
- The treatment: the repair itself, with any leak found and fixed before recharging.
- Sign off: prove it works and record the visit.
How to prepare
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is straightforward. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits you.

Do you need air conditioning repair in Rough Common?
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 noises point to the compressor.
Customers usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- A unit blowing warm air
- A system that needs topping up again
- Ice forming on the indoor unit or pipes
Before you call, note what the unit is doing and any code on the controller.
What to look for in a quote
- Which VAT rate the quote uses, and why
- How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected
- Proof of F-Gas company certification
What air conditioning won’t do
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A supply fault outside the property
- A unit whose parts are no longer made (replacement may be the only option)
- A refrigerant fault on an R22 system (new R22 can’t be used for servicing, so replacement is usually the answer)
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Wall-mounted split systems
- Ducted systems
- VRF systems
- Heat pumps
- Multi-split systems
- Ceiling cassettes
Questions from Rough Common
Is Rough Common within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do you cover Rough Common for air conditioning repair?
Yes. Rough Common is one of the places we cover. To start, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or email us with a few photos.
What accreditations do you have?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
How long does the work take?
It depends on the job, but as a guide it takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. We’ll give you a firmer idea when we quote.
How much does an air conditioning repair cost?
It starts with a diagnosis call-out from £75 + VAT, and then you get a fixed price for the repair. You decide before any repair work starts.
Can you repair an R22 air conditioning system?
R22 is an ozone-depleting refrigerant, and new R22 can’t be used for servicing. Some non-refrigerant faults can be repaired if parts are available, but a leak normally makes replacement the sensible route. We will set out the options and quote for a replacement where it makes sense.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always look before we price, on a survey, or from your photos and details where the job is simple. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
