Different systems, different jobs
Fans and compressors
Fans are the moving parts most likely to wear, often starting with a noise or weaker airflow. A worn fan motor can usually be replaced where the parts are available.
VRF systems
On larger VRF systems, the refrigerant charge can be big enough to need regular leak checks under the F-gas rules. Leak repairs are written into the F-Gas records, and the operator keeps the records.
About our air conditioning repair in Sholden Meadows
When air conditioning stops cooling, leaks water or shows an error code, the symptom rarely tells you the cause. A unit blowing warm air might have a blocked filter, a failed sensor, a fault on the circuit board or a refrigerant leak, which is why diagnosis comes first. If you are dealing with a flashing light and a system that won’t run and poor airflow even with clean filters, we can sort it out.
Around Sholden Meadows, repairs tend to be home systems, garden rooms and a few businesses. A photo of the unit’s label and a description of the fault help us plan.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

The process
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it doesn’t catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Sholden Meadows.
- It starts with the symptoms: what the unit is doing, the make and any code on the display.
- The engineer reads the fault codes and checks the electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant circuit.
- Once the cause is found, we explain it and fix the price for the repair.
- With your agreement the part is replaced or the fault put right, and refrigerant work goes in the F-Gas log.
- We run the system, check it’s working properly and note anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.

Questions from Sholden Meadows
Does being near the sea make a difference to air conditioning repair in Sholden Meadows?
It can. Sholden Meadows is within about 2 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. Corrosion on the outdoor unit is one of the things we check when we diagnose a fault.
Is Sholden Meadows within the area you cover?
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.
How much is an air conditioning call-out?
Diagnosis call-outs start from £75 + VAT. When we’ve found the fault, the repair is priced before we do it. The final cost depends on the fault, the parts and the access.
Which brands do you work with?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and tell you why.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. For simple jobs, pictures and a few details can be enough, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
Why does my air conditioning run but not cool?
It can be anything from a dirty filter to a refrigerant leak. We read any fault code and test the system to find which and you get a fixed price before the repair.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Sholden Meadows and across Kent. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
When to call us in Sholden Meadows
When the fan runs but the air is not cold, there are some common causes: dirty filters, wrong settings, a blocked outdoor unit, a sensor or board fault, or a refrigerant leak. Diagnosis narrows it down.
The things we are asked about most include:
- Weak airflow from the indoor unit
- A system that keeps cutting out
- An error code or flashing light on the unit

What your quote should include
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted
- What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day

What air conditioning repair cannot fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Cooling that falls short because the system is too small
- Heat gains the system was never designed for
- A unit whose parts are no longer made (replacement may be the only option)
If you are not sure, just call 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we’ll give you a straight answer.
