Where we work around Pimlico
Premises in Pimlico are often in mixed-use buildings with shared roofs and tight access, so outdoor unit positions are agreed early.
That includes premises in SW1 and the surrounding districts. Neighbouring towns we cover include Battersea, Chelsea and Soho. Buildings across London range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.
Included as standard
- Pipework re-use assessment, flushing where suitable
- Refrigerant recovery with waste transfer documentation
- Removal and disposal of old equipment
- Installation of new efficient units
- Commissioning and new F-gas records
