What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Do not move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrical side needs a competent person. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, if the manual says so. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
About our air conditioning repair in West Itchenor
Age alone doesn’t decide whether a repair is worth it. A fan fault on an older unit can be worth fixing, while a compressor failure may tip the balance. You get an honest view based on the fault, the parts, the refrigerant and the room. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, ceiling cassettes and heat pumps, and the jobs we see most are a noisy indoor or outdoor unit and water dripping from the indoor unit.
We plan the trip to West Itchenor so the repair can be finished in one visit where possible, unless a part has to come from the manufacturer.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Common questions in West Itchenor
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in West Itchenor out of hours?
The emergency line is open around the clock, and West Itchenor is one of the places it covers. Have the make, model and error code ready, and we’ll talk you through what happens next.
Does sea air affect air conditioning in West Itchenor?
It can. West Itchenor is within about 1 mile 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.
Why is my air conditioning icing up?
It usually points to poor airflow or a refrigerant leak. A clogged filter, a fan problem or a leak are typical. Turn it off, let the ice melt and phone us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
How long will you be on site?
Your quote will say how long we expect to be there. As a guide, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find.
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.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
For some brands, yes. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we will explain them and stick to the interval they set.
Air conditioning repair around West Itchenor
The coast is only about 1 mile from West Itchenor. On a coastal repair, we look at the outdoor unit for corrosion as well as the fault you called about. The middle of West Itchenor is part of the West Itchenor Conservation Area. On the National Heritage List, around 10 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of West Itchenor; The Parish Church of St Nicholas (grade I) is one. We keep it in mind in case a new outdoor unit is ever needed, as protected buildings can need consent for that. The 2021 Census found about 77% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Let us know where the outdoor unit sits and whether a ladder is needed to reach it.
Weak cooling, water dripping from the indoor unit and error codes are the faults we are called about most. A photo of the error code and the unit’s rating label helps us plan the repair.

Near you in West Itchenor

What happens if it’s left?
If your system uses R22, the options are narrower. R22 depletes the ozone layer, and servicing with new R22 isn’t allowed, so a refrigerant fault on an R22 system typically points to replacement. We explain why and quote for a new system if that’s the right answer. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
Putting several jobs into one visit often makes better use of the time. Mention every unit or room you need covered, and you will get one fixed price.

Managing agents and facilities teams in West Itchenor
From a single flat to a whole estate, the approach is the same: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system and we are happy to deal with whoever it is.
How it works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: check the plan with you, put the dust sheets down, carry out the job, test what we’ve done and talk you through it. On site, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. A few photos help us make the most of a visit to West Itchenor.
- You tell us the symptoms, the make and any error code.
