Leak detection and regassing across the Scottish Borders
If a system in Galashiels has needed gas before, the original leak was probably never fixed. Flare joints are a frequent leak point on older split systems, so they are among the first things checked on a visit in Galashiels. In central and southern Scotland, heat pump heating is usually the main reason to install, especially in homes on electric heating.
Prices in the Scottish Borders
Our Central and Southern Scotland guide price for leak detection and regassing is £225–£895 leak find, repair and recharge, VAT included. That sits a little below the UK middle, reflecting typical Central and Southern Scotland labour rates. The main variables are the number of indoor units, access to the outdoor unit and whether any parts are needed. Typical Standard work (leak in pipework or valve, full recharge) lands around £365–£595 in this area.

The visit

Visits in the Scottish Borders are booked at a price agreed with you in advance. If the engineer finds anything beyond the agreed work, they explain it and price it before carrying it out.
