Leak detection and regassing in Stromness

Leak detection and regassing in Stromness

Flare joints are a frequent leak point on older split systems, so they are among the first things checked on a visit in Stromness. Wind and salt air in the north of Scotland mean outdoor unit placement and protection need extra thought.

If an older system in your Stromness home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. Stromness is part of our Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles coverage. Coverage includes KW16.

Prices in Stromness

For Stromness, expect roughly £220 to £895 leak find, repair and recharge, VAT included, adjusted for typical Highlands, Islands and North East Scotland rates. The price depends mostly on how many indoor units there are and how easy the outdoor unit is to reach. On our Highlands, Islands and North East Scotland figures, the Standard option (leak in pipework or valve, full recharge) is about £350–£595. These figures exclude travel to Stromness. Any travel, ferry or accommodation cost is quoted separately, in writing, before anything is booked.

The visit
