Leak detection and regassing in Chatham
Summers in the South East are among the warmest in the country, so cooling often comes first, with efficient winter heating as a bonus. If an older system in your Chatham 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 Chatham. Chatham is about 8 miles from Maidstone and falls within our Kent coverage. That includes the ME4 postcode district.

For Chatham, 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. If parts or extra work turn out to be needed, the engineer explains and prices them before going ahead.
