A split air conditioning system has an indoor unit and an outdoor unit joined by refrigerant pipework.
Soho and surrounding areas
Premises in Soho are often in mixed-use buildings with shared roofs and tight access, so outdoor unit positions are agreed early.
That includes premises in W1 and the surrounding districts. We also work in nearby Pimlico, Camden Town and Islington. We plan installations in Soho so the noisy work — core drilling, ceiling access, lifting plant — happens when it disturbs your business least.
What you get
- Survey and unit sizing
- Outdoor unit on wall brackets, a flat roof frame or ground mounts
- Pipework in neat trunking or concealed routes
- Condensate drainage
- Commissioning, remote or wired controls and F-gas records

From enquiry to handover in Soho
Survey
We size the unit to the room and agree indoor and outdoor positions and the pipe route.
Mount the units
Indoor unit on a mounting plate, outdoor unit on brackets or a frame with anti-vibration mounts.
Pipe and wire
Pipework, interconnecting cable and condensate are run and made off neatly. We keep work areas in Soho screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Test and commission
Pressure test, evacuation, any extra refrigerant charge, then commissioning and handover.
Points to plan for in Soho
One outdoor unit, many rooms
Multi-splits save wall space but share a single compressor. For server rooms or critical spaces we recommend dedicated systems.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
Pipe routes
Shorter, simpler pipe routes are cheaper and more reliable. We plan routes before quoting.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Who we work with in Soho
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.
- Gyms and leisure: high-capacity cooling and fresh air for gym floors, studios and changing rooms.
- Pubs and bars: cooling for busy bars, function rooms and cellars, sited with neighbours in mind.
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
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).
