Leak detection and regassing in Thamesmead
If an older system in your Thamesmead home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. The urban heat island effect means London bedrooms can stay uncomfortably warm on summer nights.
If a system in Thamesmead has needed gas before, the original leak was probably never fixed. Thamesmead lies roughly 11 miles from central London, and we cover it as part of London. Postcode districts we cover here include SE2 and SE28.
