Leak detection and regassing in Canvey Island
Low rainfall and long summer days in the East of England make south-facing rooms the first to overheat. Flare joints are a frequent leak point on older split systems, so they are among the first things checked on a visit in Canvey Island.
If a system in Canvey Island has needed gas before, the original leak was probably never fixed. Canvey Island is about 6 miles from Southend-on-Sea and falls within our Essex coverage. That includes the SS8 postcode district.
