Leak detection and regassing in Stratford
London's dense streets hold heat overnight, so top-floor flats and loft rooms often stay warm long after sunset. If an older system in your Stratford 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 Stratford. Stratford is about 6 miles from central London and falls within our London coverage. That includes the E15 postcode district.
