Expert Air Compressor Repair Services in South Wales and the West

Most call-outs in South Wales and the West receive a same-day response. This minimises your downtime and production losses.

Yes, we repair desiccant dryers, refrigerant dryers, filters, and condensate drains. This ensures your air quality remains compliant with ISO standards.

Repairs are carried out in line with your WSE to maintain compliance. This ensures you remain on the right side of health and safety laws.

Problem: Water in the lines indicates a failure in the ancillary drying or drainage equipment. High ambient temperatures can push refrigerant dryers above their dewpoint capacity.

Impact: Moisture causes rust in pipework and corrosion in expensive production machinery.

Solution: We repair refrigerant leaks, fix condensate drains, or resize dryers to handle the heat load.

Repairing a compressed air system is a legal safety matter governed by the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000 (PSSR 2000).

Why This Matters

Any system over 250 bar litres requires a Written Scheme of Examination (WSE). Repairs must not compromise the safety of the pressure vessel. Our technicians understand the requirements for safety devices. We ensure any repair work aligns with your WSE. This keeps your facility legally compliant and insured.

Yes, a correctly repaired compressor consumes significantly less energy.

The Hidden Costs of Inefficiency

A blocked cooler increases discharge temperatures. This reduces efficiency. A saturated separator increases pressure drop. This forces the compressor to run harder to maintain pressure. A fixed leak reduces runtime. This extends the lifespan of the air end.

We also offer Compressed Air Leak Detection Survey services. This reduces the load on your repaired compressor and lowers your electricity bill.

We generally recommend Genuine OEM parts to protect your asset and warranty.

The Benefits of OEM

Genuine parts are engineered to exact tolerances. An OEM separator typically has a lower pressure drop. A drop of just 0.3 bar in a separator equates to a ~2% energy loss. OEM filters prevent oil starvation. This prevents catastrophic air end seizure and costly replacement. We can source high-quality Tier 1 aftermarket parts for older machines.

The majority of breakdowns are caused by neglected maintenance. Planned maintenance prevents emergency failures and unplanned costs.

Planned Maintenance Intervals

• 2000 Hours: We change air and oil filters to protect the air end. We clean the cooler matrix to prevent overheating.
• 4000 Hours: We replace the oil separator to prevent oil carryover. We change the oil to prevent internal varnish.
• 8000 Hours: We rebuild critical components like the Minimum Pressure Valve (MPV). We rebuild the inlet valve to ensure reliable loading.
