A golf simulator room under a Kensington villa or garden flat. Sound and height are settled before the dig.
What a Kensington golf room owes the house.
- W8
- Stucco terraces and villas on the hill
- Since 2015
- The borough limited basement extent first
- Room within a room
- How impact noise stays below
NU Projects is a design and build company in Fulham SW6, founded in 2010. We handle basement golf simulator rooms in Kensington W8, 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.
Kensington has stucco terraces and brick villas on the hill. Many are divided into garden flats. A golf room below one may sit beneath neighbours. So what they hear is the first question.
The borough limits a new basement to one storey under half the garden. The 2016 SPD stops that storey becoming two floors later. So the golf room and every other lower room share a single level.
A struck ball makes a hard thud that carries through the slab. We float the floor on resilient layers. Then we build a lined box inside the shell. The screen wall gets the heaviest build.
Our dig for two new houses in Kensington went three floors down. Nothing there is a golf room. It does prove one team can manage deep structure and fit-out together. We would approach a golf room the same way.
What the council allows in Kensington.
- Council
- The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea covers every Kensington address.
- Reach
- Policy CD11, once CL7, caps the dig. The bay must fit inside it.
- Storey
- The 2016 SPD keeps one storey. Screen and tee share that level.
- Permission
- An Article 4 direction since 2016 sends every golf room to planning.
- Sound
- A room within a room keeps thuds from the flats above.

Further reading, from the journal
Can a Kensington garden flat have a golf simulator room?
Often, if the lease and the freehold allow it.
The borough still permits one storey only.
We check both before drawings begin.
Will a Kensington golf simulator room disturb the flat above?
It should not.
The floor floats, the ceiling hangs free, and a lined box sits inside.
Thuds are stopped before they reach the flat.
How much headroom does a Kensington golf simulator room need?
Makers advise about 3.0 m clear, and 2.85 m at the least.
We set the floor level at design stage.
The slab goes lower where the rules and structure allow.
What does a Kensington golf simulator room cost?
Our basement band is £450 to £780 a sq ft, construction only.
Converting an existing basement is £180k to £300k as a project total.
What screen does a Kensington golf simulator room use?
An impact screen takes the ball, with a projector beside it.
Padding sits behind the screen.
We specify it around your chosen launch monitor.
