Air conditioning repair in Wickham Common, done properly
When air conditioning stops cooling, leaks water or shows an error code, the symptom rarely tells you the cause. A unit blowing warm air might have a blocked filter, a failed sensor, a fault on the circuit board or a refrigerant leak, which is why diagnosis comes first. The work covers ducted systems, ceiling cassettes and heat pumps, and common reasons people get in touch are a system that keeps cutting out and an error code or flashing light on the unit.
Around Wickham Common, repairs tend to be home systems, garden rooms and a few businesses. Describe the fault and send a photo of the unit’s label so we can plan the visit.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer, so keep it safe.

Common problems we fix in Wickham Common
Some faults stop the unit completely: a failed fan motor, a fault on a circuit board, a damaged cable between the units or a tripped circuit. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off until an engineer has looked at it.
The things we’re asked about most include:
- A system that won’t switch on
- New noises from the system
- A unit that barely blows any air
If a system fails at a school such as Wickham Church of England Primary School, our 24/7 line takes the call, and planned repairs can wait for the holidays.

Your questions about air conditioning repair in Wickham Common
Do you cover smaller places like Wickham Common?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do you cover Wickham Common for emergency air conditioning repairs?
The emergency line is open around the clock, and Wickham Common is one of the places it covers. A diagnosis call-out starts from £75 + VAT, and knowing the brand and the symptoms helps us plan it.
How quickly will you reply?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Every visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Can you repair an R22 air conditioning system?
Replacement is usually the better answer. R22 can’t be topped up with new gas, and parts for old models are scarce, so a new system on a modern refrigerant is usually the better investment.
What causes water to leak from an air conditioning unit?
The condensate drain or pump is the usual cause: a blocked pipe, a kinked hose or a failed pump. Switch the unit off to avoid water damage, then call us.
Why is my air conditioning showing a fault code?
An error code points us in the right direction, but it isn’t the whole answer. Note the code and switch the system off if it is not working, and phone 07833 053749.

Leave it or put it right?
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 typically points to replacement. We explain why and quote for a new system if that is the right answer. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
The cost depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, the access and the parts and time the job needs. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Take a look at what air conditioning costs and our accreditations and certificates.
System by system
VRF systems
On larger VRF systems, the refrigerant charge can be big enough to need regular leak checks under the F-gas rules. Any leak we find and repair is recorded for the operator’s records.
Circuit boards and sensors
Boards and sensors are the system’s nervous system. Sensor faults can stop the system or confuse it and boards can fail with age or after electrical problems.
How it works
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it doesn’t catch you out. For businesses, we can usually work room by room or zone by zone. On site, it takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. Work in Wickham Common is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- You tell us the symptoms, the make and any error code.
- On the diagnosis visit, we test the electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant.
- You get the cause explained and a fixed price for the repair.
- Once agreed, the repair goes ahead.
- It’s tested running, and the write-up is left with you.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
