Leak detection and regassing in Hastings
The South East sees some of the UK's warmest summer days, and south-facing rooms and conservatories feel it first. Flare joints are a frequent leak point on older split systems, so they are among the first things checked on a visit in Hastings.
If an older system in your Hastings home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. Hastings lies roughly 31 miles from Brighton, and we cover it as part of East Sussex. That includes the TN34 postcode district.
