Leak detection and regassing in Oban
Flare joints are a frequent leak point on older split systems, so they are among the first things checked on a visit in Oban. Wind and salt air in the north of Scotland mean outdoor unit placement and protection need extra thought.
If a system in Oban has needed gas before, the original leak was probably never fixed. As well as Oban itself, our Argyll and Bute coverage takes in Campbeltown, Dunoon and the towns around them. We cover PA34 and the streets around them.
Prices in Oban
For Oban, expect roughly £220 to £895 leak find, repair and recharge, VAT included, adjusted for typical Highlands, Islands and North East Scotland rates. Access, the number of indoor units and any parts are what move the price, and we confirm it before booking. As an example, the Standard option (leak in pipework or valve, full recharge) would typically be £350–£595 here. These figures exclude travel to Oban. Any travel, ferry or accommodation cost is quoted separately, in writing, before anything is booked.
