Leak detection and regassing in Putney
Many London homes are flats or tall terraces, where heat rises to the top floor and the bedrooms bear the brunt of a hot spell. Flare joints are a frequent leak point on older split systems, so they are among the first things checked on a visit in Putney.
If an older system in your Putney home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. We cover Putney as part of London, roughly 5 miles from central London. Postcode districts we cover here include SW15.
