Sounds like your compressor is not switching on, poss low pressure in the system, to check if you have pressure find one of the air con filling points near the plenium and remove the cap, you will find a tyre type valve, give it a quick press and listen for gas pressure escaping, if good then the compressor is either not getting power or the compressor is seized.  check air con fuse first.

Just bare in mind there's a £20,000 fine for knowingly releasing refrigeration gas to the atmosphere.
I have a problem with my a/c system.  I suspect it's a compressor issue as I had it pressure checked and it was fully charged.
I asked the techie doing the check about the fine, as I thought it was £30k, but it's actually £20k.

Just passing on what I was advised by an aircon techie.
He said the same about being able to do a quick check that way, which is how we got onto the subject of the fine. His words were "F.F.S don't get caught !!". 
Apparently with all this Global Warming malarky they are well up for making an example of anyone breaking eco laws.
