Leak detection and regassing in Folkestone
The South East sees some of the UK's warmest summer days, and south-facing rooms and conservatories feel it first. If an older system in your Folkestone 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 Folkestone. Our Kent coverage takes in Folkestone, about 31 miles from Maidstone. Homes in CT19 are all within our coverage.
