Regas and leak check in Essex
We find refrigerant leaks on air conditioning before any recharge, so the system is not simply topped up.
“"We take pride in the survey, the install and the way we keep you informed. Clear communication, tidy workmanship and reliable follow-through are how we look after every air conditioning job from first visit to finished system."”
Diagnosis before recharge
- Low refrigerant points to a leak or another fault. We find that first.
- Performance, fault codes and service history tell us why refrigerant loss is suspected.
- We check accessible joints, coils and connections to find the leak where we can.
- The repair, testing and correct recharge are set out before further work.
What a leak check can cover
The method depends on the equipment, refrigerant and access. Adding gas without finding the leak is not the job.
Included when agreed
- Review of equipment and service history
- Operating checks relevant to refrigerant loss
- Leak detection on accessible components
- Explanation of findings
- A separate repair and recharge quote where needed
Not included automatically
- Adding refrigerant without investigating suspected loss
- Repairing inaccessible pipework
- Replacement parts unless they are in the quote
How a leak check works
System details help confirm the right equipment and test method before we arrive.
- 01
Identify the system
Share the make, model, refrigerant label, fault code and service history where you have them.
- 02
Diagnose the loss
We inspect and test the accessible system to find a leak or another fault.
- 03
Set out further work
Repair, testing and recharge are quoted before they start.
Leak check quotes
Leak diagnosis is quoted from the system on site, access, and the checks needed. Repair and recharge follow that finding.
- A sealed system should not need a routine top up.
- Leak repair, testing and recharge are included only when the quote says so.
What you receive
The visit names the fault and the next step for the system.
- Leak findings
- The areas tested and what was found are recorded.
- Repair options
- The likely repair, and whether replacement should also be considered, are explained.
- Recharge work
- Pressure testing, evacuation and refrigerant work are set out separately from the first diagnosis.
Why the system is not topped up
A sealed circuit should not consume gas. If the charge is low, we find the leak first. Recharge follows that finding when it is quoted.

Leak check and refrigerant questions
Why diagnosis comes before a recharge.
Can you just regas the system?+
No. A sealed system should not consume refrigerant. If the charge is low, we find the cause before quoting a recharge.
— Martin Rogers
How do you find a leak?+
It depends on the system and access. Visual inspection, electronic detection and pressure testing can form part of the quoted diagnosis.
— Martin Rogers
Is the repair included in the leak check?+
Not automatically. Repair, parts, testing and recharge are confirmed once the fault and access are understood.
What information do you need?+
Make, model, refrigerant label, symptoms, fault codes, and any previous service details.
What if the leak cannot be found on the first visit?+
We explain the findings and quote the next check or a replacement. Refrigerant is not added as a shortcut.
