I am the sole director of a company based in the UK. Through this company I am doing some work for a company in San Francisco. All the work is done remotely but once in a while I need to go to the office. I am currently just entering in the US with a visitor/tourist visa. Theoretically, which visa should I be applying or is there a visa for that sort of temporary (less than month) work in American soil?

This is complicated. In short, while in the U.S., you shouldn't get paid by your U.S. clients and the "work" you do should be along the lines of status meetings, not "productive" employment. Otherwise, you will need a work visa.
