The indicator has no bearing on whether the AC is working or not. It's just controlled by the switch.
Have a look at the AC compressor pulley. It should be possible to see whether the clutch is engaging when the AC is switched on. Beware of the auxilliary belt when doing this!
Personally I wouldn't take this problem to Halfords. I'd find a specialist AC chap, probably one of the mobile ones, who will come to your house.
You may find that the AC Condenser has been holed by a stone or has even rusted through. Both are very common problems.
