Air conditioning repair for homes and businesses in Shoreham
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 and write it up in the F-Gas records. If you’re dealing with air conditioning running but not cooling and a system that keeps cutting out, we can help.
We plan the trip to Shoreham so the repair can be finished in one visit where possible, unless a part has to come from the manufacturer.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

Why act early in Shoreham
Waiting for hot weather to see whether a fault sorts itself out rarely works. If the system is faulty now, it will be faulty in a heatwave, when you need it most and it’s easier to deal with before you depend on it. Getting the date in early helps for a place like Shoreham.
What you pay depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, how easy the units are to reach and the parts and time the job needs. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

Looking after it afterwards
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- If there’s ice on the pipes, switch off and let it melt
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Ask for the leak to be found, not just a top-up
You get a note of the fault and what we did: the cause, the parts fitted and any refrigerant added or recovered. Any refrigerant work is recorded in the F-Gas records and it belongs with the system’s paperwork.
Use the system sensibly. Moderate settings and a closed room mean less strain and the system does not have to work as hard.
How the visit works
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we’ve done. If a lane or gateway near Shoreham is tight for a van, let us know and we’ll plan for it.
- You tell us the symptoms, the make and any error code.
- The engineer diagnoses the fault on site, testing rather than guessing.
- We explain the cause in plain English and give you a fixed price.
- Once agreed, the repair goes ahead.
- It’s tested running, and the write-up is left with you.
Preparing for the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
Ask for a quote
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 07833 053749 or use the quote form.

When air con fails in Shoreham
Valuation Office Agency council tax records date about 43% of homes in the Shoreham area to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 82% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. If the outdoor unit is high up or behind a locked gate, mention it when you book. The middle of Shoreham is part of a conservation area. Church of St Peter and St Paul, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 43 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Shoreham’s centre. If a repair turns into a replacement on a listed building or in a conservation area, we check the planning position before changing the outdoor unit.
If a system fails at a school such as Shoreham Village School, our 24/7 line takes the call, and planned repairs can wait for the holidays. Near Shoreham (Kent) station, as anywhere, a photo of the error code on the controller is the quickest way to start a repair.

Questions from Shoreham
Do you cover smaller places like Shoreham?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Shoreham out of hours?
Shoreham is within our area, and the emergency line is open 24/7. A diagnosis call-out starts from £75 + VAT, and knowing the brand and the symptoms helps us plan it.
How quickly will you reply?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
Do you look at the job first?
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.
Do you protect the property while you work?
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.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and we hold it.
How we price air conditioning repair
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- What state the existing equipment is in
- The brand, model and parts involved
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
Every quote starts with a look at the job, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from photos and measurements. After that, we send a fixed price before any work starts.
