Wetsuit & Drysuit Alterations/Tailoring
You'd be surprised how many different alterations we've been asked to do over the years. From a few more or less inches in the body to removing and sealing up arms, we never shy away from a challenge.
If you have a suit that you think needs to be altered, please don't hesitate to
contact us and we can talk it through with you.
Airgun Cylinder Testing
Every pressure cylinder has to be tested over time, no matter what its use. The frequency of this test however varies. For cylinders with a SCUBA diving valve, these need to be tested every 18 months, however for cylinders with a surface valve designed for airgun use, the test schedule is once every 5 years.
If you are unsure of the type of valve that your cylinder has, please don't hesitate to
contact us and we can talk it through with you.
Using the best diagnostic equipment available, Hydrotech is one of the UK's leading cylinder service centres. Our IDEST and UKAS approved technicians are capable of servicing your equipment to the highest standard it deserves.

airgun cylinder testing page.
