What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. The visit takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. For a village like Woodcock Hill, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- Diagnose: test the system until the cause is clear.
- Then the prescription: what’s wrong and what it will cost to put right.
- Where a repair does not make sense, you will hear it from us, with the alternatives.
- The treatment: the repair itself, with any leak found and fixed before recharging.
- The sign-off: the system tested in operation and the work recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from pictures and measurements. Then you get a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Turn it off and let ice clear before the visit
- Leave a tripping breaker off and call us
- Send us a photo of any code on the display
Once the fault is fixed, we test the system in operation. We check it’s cooling or heating as it should and that the fault hasn’t left anything else behind, and we tell you about anything we noticed.
Don’t ignore early signs. Drips, noises, weak airflow and error codes are early warnings, and early diagnosis typically means a smaller repair.
Common questions in Woodcock Hill
Is Woodcock Hill in your area for air conditioning repair?
Yes. Woodcock Hill is one of the places we cover. Just ring us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form with a few details.
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Woodcock Hill?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in Woodcock Hill. Tell us the make, model and any error code when you call; repair call-outs start from £75 + VAT.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. You get a written record of each visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
Why is water dripping from my indoor unit?
Usually a blocked or kinked condensate drain, a failed condensate pump or a unit that isn’t level. Ice that forms on the coil and melts can cause drips too. Switch the unit off and call us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
My system uses R22. Can it be repaired?
Most of the time, we recommend replacement. New R22 can’t be used to service systems, and parts for older units are getting harder to find, so we will quote for a modern replacement and explain why.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one building, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Every address has its own paperwork, so each one has its own history.
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit produces a dated record, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
