When air con fails in Tilehurst
Valuation Office Agency council tax records date about 54% of homes in Tilehurst and the neighbourhoods around it to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 66% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). A photo of the outdoor unit and its surroundings tells us what access the visit needs. About 5 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Tilehurst, Water Tower (grade II) among them. Should a unit ever need replacing on a listed building or in a conservation area, ask us about consent first.
When cooling fails at a school like Park Lane Primary School, we can time non-urgent repair work around lessons. Near Tilehurst station, as anywhere, a photo of the error code on the controller is the quickest way to start a repair.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Tilehurst
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
Bigger systems bring extra duties: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
What happens on the day
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. From there, the work takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. Everything the job in Tilehurst needs is worked out beforehand.
- We start with what the unit is doing, the make and any code.
- The engineer diagnoses the fault on site, testing rather than guessing.
- The fault is explained simply and the repair priced up front.
- Once you are happy, the repair is done and any refrigerant work recorded.
- It’s tested running, and the write-up is left with you.
Getting ready for the visit
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in

Leave it or put it right?
The rules on refrigerant affect repairs. Repairing and recharging existing R410A systems is still legal, but R410A is getting scarcer and dearer to buy as the GB phase-down tightens, so for older systems we compare the cost of a repair with a replacement. Dealing with it now is usually simpler than a breakdown later.
Every job is different, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.
