NU Projects is a design and build company in Fulham SW6, founded in 2010. We handle basement cinema rooms in Cobham KT11, under one contract. A basement runs £450 to £780 a sq ft, construction only. Call 020 7731 6841, and a budget estimate typically follows within seven days.
Cobham homes range from village cottages to big gated houses. Most have lawns, old trees and daylight everywhere. A cinema wants dark and quiet. Below ground gives both without losing a bedroom.
Elmbridge has no basement policy, so the council reads the cinema as an extension. It weighs design, neighbours, trees and drainage. The River Mole and River Rythe decide the flood zone. Zone 3b bars it, but Zones 2 and 3a may allow it.
Cobham and Plough Corner are conservation areas, dated 1973 and 1990. Two Article 4 directions cover gates, fences, walls and temporary buildings. A cinema leaves none of this to chance. Lightwells stay discreet, so the street sees nothing.
We fitted a cinema in a Chelsea townhouse and a media room in Fulham. Neither is in Surrey. One team designs, prices and builds the room.

Further reading, from the journal
Can a Cobham basement cinema be built near the Mole?
Not in Zone 3b, where no basement is allowed.
In Zones 2 and 3a a cinema may be considered.
We check the zone before any drawing.
How is a Cobham basement cinema soundproofed?
The room sits inside the room, on its own floor.
Walls and ceiling are decoupled from the house above.
Doors are sealed, so the film stays in.
Does a Cobham basement cinema need a rack room?
It is wise to give the equipment its own room.
Amplifiers and servers run hot and hum.
A small rack room is cooled and sits outside the cinema.
What does a basement cinema room in Cobham cost?
Our basement band is £450 to £780 a sq ft, construction only.
We price your house, not a template.
Do Cobham conservation areas change a basement cinema plan?
Cobham and Plough Corner both have trees to protect.
Notice to the council comes before any tree work.
Lightwells stay small so the street looks unchanged.
