Leak detection and regassing in Rothesay
Wind and salt air in the north of Scotland mean outdoor unit placement and protection need extra thought. Flare joints are a frequent leak point on older split systems, so they are among the first things checked on a visit in Rothesay.
If an older system in your Rothesay home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. We cover Rothesay as part of Argyll and Bute. Homes in PA20 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Rothesay
Our Highlands, Islands and North East Scotland guide price for leak detection and regassing is £220–£895 leak find, repair and recharge, VAT included. The price depends mostly on how many indoor units there are and how easy the outdoor unit is to reach. For reference, the Standard option in Rothesay (leak in pipework or valve, full recharge) usually comes to about £350–£595. These figures exclude travel to Rothesay. Any travel, ferry or accommodation cost is quoted separately, in writing, before anything is booked.
