FAQs for Westbrook
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Westbrook?
It can, as Westbrook is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. Corrosion on the outdoor unit is one of the things we check when we diagnose a fault.
Is Westbrook within the area you cover?
Yes. Westbrook is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
Why is not my air con cooling?
It can be anything from a dirty filter to a refrigerant leak. Diagnosis confirms the cause, then give you a fixed price to fix it.
How much does an air conditioning repair cost?
The first step is a diagnosis, from £75 + VAT, and then you get a fixed price for the repair. You decide before any repair work starts.
Can you still repair R410A air conditioning?
Yes, repairs and recharges on existing R410A systems remain legal. 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.
What else we do in Westbrook
Why it’s worth doing now in Westbrook
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 and we weigh that up when we advise you. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.
No two properties are the same, so we price each one individually. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all play a part.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and ring 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
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.
How it works
Think of the visit in three stages: diagnose, treat and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. The middle part takes longest, which takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive. Everything the job in Westbrook needs is worked out beforehand.
- You describe the fault, the make and any error code, ideally with a photo.
- At the property, readings and tests narrow the problem down to its cause.
- We explain the cause and give you a fixed price for the repair before any work goes ahead.
- The repair is carried out, and any refrigerant work is leak tested and recorded.
- The system is run and checked in every mode, and we tell you about anything else we noticed.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in

Advice
What the work involves, system by system
Refrigerant leaks
Adding refrigerant without a repair isn’t a fix, and it releases more refrigerant into the air. That is why we repair the leak first.
VRF systems
VRF systems often hold enough refrigerant to need regular F-gas leak checks. Leak repairs are written into the F-Gas records, and the operator keeps the records.
From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
