Diagnosis call-outs start from £75 + VAT. When the cause is found, the repair is priced before anything else is done and nothing goes ahead without your say-so. We are often asked to deal with a system that won’t switch on and air conditioning running but not cooling, on multi-split systems, VRF systems and ceiling cassettes.
In a village like West Ilsley, most air conditioning we repair is in homes, garden rooms and the occasional pub or village business. Describe the fault and send a photo of the unit’s label so we can plan the visit.

How it works
The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. It takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts, and we tidy up before we leave. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in West Ilsley.
- First the diagnosis: fault codes read, electrics and airflow checked, drain and refrigerant tested.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
Getting a price
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.

FAQs for West Ilsley
Can you do air conditioning repair in West Ilsley?
Yes, West Ilsley is within the area we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Will you come out to West Ilsley?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it, and the quote is based on that.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
How much is an air conditioning call-out?
A diagnosis call-out is from £75 + VAT. When we have found the fault, the repair is priced before we do it. The cost depends on the fault, the parts and access to the units.
Do you offer an emergency repair service?
Yes. We have a 24/7 emergency line for urgent breakdowns. Call 07833 053749 and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code and we’ll talk you through what happens next.
Why is there ice on my air conditioning pipes?
The coil gets too cold when air can’t move across it or when the refrigerant charge is low. A dirty filter is worth checking first, and if it’s clean, the system needs a diagnosis.
What owners can safely do
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. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- An R22 system that has lost its refrigerant
- A discontinued model with no parts available
- A unit that was never big enough for the room
If you’re not sure, just phone 07833 053749 or send an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work
- Heat pumps
- VRF systems
- Wall-mounted split systems
- Ducted systems
- Multi-split systems
- Ceiling cassettes
What happens if it’s left?
R22 systems are a different case. R22 is an ozone-depleting refrigerant and new R22 cannot be used for servicing, so a refrigerant fault on an R22 system normally points to replacement. We explain why and quote for a new system if that’s the right answer. Getting the date in early helps for a place like West Ilsley.
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

When air con fails in West Ilsley
The West Ilsley Conservation Area is within about a third of a mile of the centre of West Ilsley. Downs House, listed at grade II, is one of roughly 16 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around West Ilsley’s centre. That only matters for replacements, where a new outdoor unit on a protected building can need consent. The 2021 Census found about 83% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. If the outdoor unit is high up or behind a locked gate, mention it when you book.
Before you call, note what the unit is doing and any code on the controller. Weak cooling, water dripping from the indoor unit and error codes are the faults we are called about most.
