Leak detection and regassing across Kent
If an older system in your Maidstone home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. Flare joints are a frequent leak point on older split systems, so they are among the first things checked on a visit in Maidstone. Summers in the South East are among the warmest in the country, so cooling often comes first, with efficient winter heating as a bonus.
Prices in Kent
For Kent, expect roughly £300 to £1,195 leak find, repair and recharge, VAT included, adjusted for typical South East England rates. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in South East England. The main variables are the number of indoor units, access to the outdoor unit and whether any parts are needed. For reference, the Standard option in Kent (leak in pipework or valve, full recharge) usually comes to about £495–£795.
