Not sure what you need, or where it would go? Send a few pictures of the rooms and the outside walls when you call 07833 053749 or send an email, and you will hear back from us the same working day about a survey or a fixed-price quote.

In a village like Ickleford, many homes are older, and some are listed. That matters, because a listed home needs consent and permitted development rules don’t apply to it.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than sell you work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Work that needs permission from a landlord or the council
- Damp or condensation caused by leaks or poor ventilation in the building (that needs the cause fixing)
- Central heating repairs
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Why deal with it now?
New systems now use lower-impact refrigerants. Since 2025, new single split systems with less than 3 kg of refrigerant cannot use F gases with a GWP above 750, so new splits use refrigerants such as R32, with a GWP of 675. Older R410A systems have a GWP of 2088. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you are unsure, phone us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form for straight advice and a fixed price.

Ickleford questions
Do you cover Ickleford for air conditioning?
Yes. Ickleford is one of the places we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Is Ickleford within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, always. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We start with protection: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
How long will the installation take?
Most single-room systems take a day. Multi-room and ducted systems take longer, depending on the pipe routes and access, and we tell you how long on the quote.
What warranty do I get?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Owner checks or an engineer?
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and phone us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Air conditioning around Ickleford
The middle of Ickleford is part of the Ickleford Conservation Area. Historic England lists about 26 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Ickleford, including Church of St Katherine (church of England) (grade I). Heritage protection changes what an install can involve, so the survey looks at your address first and tells you plainly whether consent is likely. About 34 miles out from central London, Ickleford is part of the South East area we work across.
Living close to Church of St Katharine? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is. A loft bedroom or a glazed extension is often the room that prompts the first call.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. On site, it takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. Seeing the property in pictures first means the trip to Ickleford can be planned properly.
- We start by looking at the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go.
- Cooling loads are worked out room by room, and the written price names the make, the model and every position.
- The units go up and the pipework, cable and condensate drain are run neatly between them.
- Power is wired in, the joints are proved leak-tight under pressure and a vacuum pump draws out air and moisture.
- The system is commissioned and checked in every mode, and we hand over the controls, F-Gas records and warranty information.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from photos and measurements. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
