Cinema rooms below Oxshott houses, built as a quiet room within a room. Designed, engineered and built by one team.
What an Oxshott cinema has to hold back.
- Room in a room
- Sound isolation starts at the structure
- No basement SPD
- A cinema is judged as an extension
- Flood SPD, 2016
- A cinema may be considered in Zones 2 and 3a
NU Projects is a design and build company in Fulham SW6, founded in 2010. We handle basement cinema rooms in Oxshott KT22, 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.
A cinema works with no daylight to fight. A basement gives total light control and a ceiling nobody else hears. In a large Oxshott house, it keeps the screen away from the family rooms.
The council has no basement rulebook, so a screening room reads as an extension. Neighbours, trees and drainage shape the outcome. Flood Zones 2 and 3a can still allow a cinema. Only Zone 3b rules a basement out.
Sound isolation comes first, so we build a room within a room. Treatment panels sit inside that shell. Ventilation runs quietly, beside a rack room for the equipment. Seating is raked or stepped where height allows.
We have not built in Surrey yet. Our nearest cinema and media rooms are both in Chelsea SW3. One team designs, prices and builds the room and its structure.

A separate rack room holds the amplifiers and cabling.
It has its own cooling, so the cinema stays silent.

Only in the lowest zones, where Zone 3b bars any basement.
