Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Pimlico
Commercial air conditioning is a big part of what we do, for businesses in Pimlico and the rest of Greater London. Offices, shops, restaurants, hotels, schools and server rooms all come with different demands and we choose the system to suit the space and the way it’s used. Typical jobs include IT rooms that need resilient cooling and commercial systems near the end of their life, across multi-split systems, ceiling cassettes and wall-mounted split systems.
In Pimlico, as anywhere in England, larger systems need F-gas leak checks, and over 12 kW of cooling a TM44 inspection is required. We keep the F-gas records and flag what’s coming up.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Pimlico: your questions answered
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Pimlico?
In many cases, yes, once the lease and the building’s rules are checked. We look at where the outdoor unit could go, such as a balcony, flat roof or rear wall, and write it up for the freeholder or agent.
Do you cover Pimlico for commercial air conditioning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Pimlico is part of that. To start, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or email us with a few photos.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
Which commercial systems do you fit?
From one wall-mounted unit to VRF across several floors. Cassettes and ducted units suit offices, shops and restaurants.
How are commercial air conditioning installs priced?
We price commercial work after visiting the site. It means the system and the programme fit your building, and the quote you get is fixed.
Can you look after our air conditioning after it’s installed?
Yes, with visits planned around the site. There’s also a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns.
How often is a TM44 inspection needed?
Where the air conditioning is over 12 kW, an inspection is needed at least every 5 years. It’s carried out by an accredited energy assessor, and we can prepare the system and act on the report.
Commercial air conditioning around Pimlico
Food Standards Agency records list about 2,030 restaurants, cafés and canteens, about 103 hotels and guest houses and about 73 schools and colleges within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Pimlico. Each of those is a different cooling job, from kitchen heat to quiet bedrooms and server rooms. About 42% of homes across Pimlico and its surrounding area have been built since 2000, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 94% of households live in flats, according to the last census (2021). Where shops and offices sit below or beside homes, outdoor plant position and noise need extra care. In London, commercial installs often need landlord consent, agreed plant positions and out-of-hours working.
For premises near London Victoria station, we plan plant positions and working hours with the landlord or managing agent first, where there is one.

How the visit works
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. The visit takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone. If your building in Pimlico has a managing agent, a concierge or sign-in rules, mention them when you book.
- We start with the details of the building and the problem.
- A site survey confirms the heat load, the layout and the access.
- The options, cost and timing are set out in a fixed-price quote.
- Installation goes ahead around the business.
- The system is commissioned and maintenance can be arranged.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
Related advice
Do you need commercial air conditioning in Pimlico?
Ageing systems are a common reason for a call. Parts become harder to find and the system can’t keep up, and replacing it becomes the better option.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Workspaces that overheat on warm days
- Installs that must fit around trading hours
- Changes of use that need a new layout
If you look after a church or hall such as St Gabriel's, an air-to-air system that warms up quickly can suit a building used on and off, subject to the right consents.
Before booking anyone
- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
- How VAT is shown, and which rate applies
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted
What happens if it’s left?
In a comms room, losing the cooling can soon become serious. Designing in a backup unit or reviewing the existing set-up is worth doing before anything goes wrong. Booking in spring means a home or office in Pimlico is ready before the first hot week.
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
