Leak detection and regassing in Consett
Cooler North East summers mean cooling is mostly needed in lofts, conservatories and rooms with large windows. Flare joints are a frequent leak point on older split systems, so they are among the first things checked on a visit in Consett.
If a system in Consett has needed gas before, the original leak was probably never fixed. Consett sits around 11 miles from Durham, inside our County Durham area. That includes the DH8 postcode district.
