What does an air con repair cost?
The first step is a diagnosis, from £75 + VAT, followed by a fixed price for the repair. You decide before any repair work starts.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
What air conditioning will not do
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- An old system with obsolete parts
- A unit that was never big enough for the room
- An R22 system that has lost its refrigerant

What we are called out for in Willingdon
When ice forms on the pipes or coil, something else is wrong. Low airflow from blocked filters or a failing fan, or low refrigerant from a leak, are the common causes. Turn it off and let the ice melt, then call us.
The things we are asked about most include:
- A suspected refrigerant leak
- Water leaking from the unit or through the ceiling
- A flashing light and a system that will not run
Schools such as Oakwood Primary Academy can report a fault on the 24/7 line and have non-urgent work done out of term.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the quote shows VAT clearly
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- If the figure could change on the day
Pricing air conditioning repair in Willingdon
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Good pictures often save a visit. The most useful are:
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
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. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
What a repair looks like in Willingdon
Willingdon lies within about 3 miles of the sea. On a coastal repair, we look at the outdoor unit for corrosion as well as the fault you called about. The Church Street, Willingdon Conservation Area is within about a third of a mile of the centre of Willingdon. There are 3 conservation areas within a mile of the centre of Willingdon. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 29 within half a mile of the centre, such as The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin (grade I). We keep it in mind in case a new outdoor unit is ever needed, as protected buildings can need consent for that. The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures date about 57% of homes in and around Willingdon to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and the last census (2021) found about 85% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Access to the outdoor unit is the one detail that most changes how a visit is planned.
Before you call, note what the unit is doing and any code on the controller.
