Air conditioning in Belgravia.

Installations planned around the building, not the catalogue

Belgravia is largely made up of Grade II listed stucco terraces within the Belgravia conservation area, much of it still under estate management. Uniform façades are the entire character of the area, which means external plant on a principal elevation is effectively out of the question. Many properties also have a mews house, a substantial lower ground floor or a newly excavated basement — all of which change the cooling requirement.

Our approach is to survey the whole property, including the mews and basement levels, and work out where plant can sit without affecting the elevation: rear lightwells, roof valleys behind parapets, internal plant rooms with ducted intake and discharge, or the mews roof where one exists. We then explain the consent position honestly, because in Belgravia that is usually the deciding factor.

Working across SW1

We work around Eaton Square, Belgrave Square, Chester Square, Wilton Crescent, Elizabeth Street, Motcomb Street, Lower Belgrave Street and the surrounding mews. Scaffold and crane access is rarely practical, so equipment usually has to be brought in and positioned by hand — we size and specify with that in mind. We also work alongside architects, interior designers and main contractors on full refurbishments, first-fixing cooling while the structure is open.

For embassies, family offices and managed portfolios we can put planned preventative maintenance in place across multiple properties, with scheduled visits and written reports after each service so the condition of every system is documented.
