Working in Soho
In Soho, commercial premises range from street-level shops and restaurants to offices in converted and modern buildings, many with managing agents and landlord consents to work through.
That includes premises in W1 and the surrounding districts. Nearby, we also cover Pimlico (about 3 km), Camden Town (about 3 km) and Islington (about 3 km). For server room cooling in Soho, the survey looks at where the outdoor unit can go, how pipework will reach the indoor units and whether the electrical supply has capacity.
What is included
- IT load assessment (kW) and room survey
- Duty/standby (N+1) unit design

How it works in Soho
Measure the load
We read the IT and UPS load and allow for growth.
Design resilience
Duty/standby units, changeover control and power supplies are designed together.
Install with minimal risk
Work around live equipment is planned with your IT team and kept clean. In Soho we agree timings around your opening hours.
Test failover
We test the changeover and alarms before handover.
Local points to consider
Run 24/7
Comfort units are not designed for continuous year-round use. We select equipment rated for it.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Soho are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Winter operation
Cooling is needed even when it is cold outside, so low-ambient controls are fitted.
Leased premises
If your Soho premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
Premises we work in around Soho
- Offices: zoned cooling and heating for open-plan floors, meeting rooms and comms rooms.
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
- Healthcare and dental: clean, quiet cooling for surgeries, clinics, dental practices and care settings.
- Schools and education: classroom cooling, ventilation and IT room cooling, installed in the holidays.
Compliance in England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).

Do you also cover Pimlico, Camden Town and Islington?
Yes. Alongside Soho, we also cover Pimlico, Camden Town and Islington. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Which postcodes do you cover in Soho?
All of them, including W1. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
Why not use the office air conditioning?
Office systems switch off out of hours and are sized for people, not equipment that runs 24/7. A dedicated system is more reliable and cheaper to run.
Can we get alerts if the temperature rises?
Yes. We can fit a temperature alarm that sends alerts by email or text, or connects to your BMS or network monitoring.
