Basement golf simulator rooms in Westminster.

Most Westminster SW1P homes are flats, too low and narrow for a full swing. A whole house can sometimes work.
A Westminster golf room starts with the ceiling.

- Code of practice

NU Projects is a design and build company in Fulham SW6, founded in 2010. We handle basement golf simulator rooms in Westminster SW1P, under one contract. A new basement dig typically runs £500k to £900k. Converting an existing basement runs £180k to £300k. Call 020 7731 6841, and a budget estimate typically follows within seven days.
Mansion block ceilings are generous by London standards. Even so, a full swing wants about 3.0 m clear. Makers accept 2.85 m at the very least. Few flats reach that, and none can dig down alone.
A whole house can lower a floor, within Policy 50’s single storey. Under a listed house, the hierarchy of spaces must stay balanced. Near the river, flood risk is assessed before design.
For most flats, the golf brief becomes a putting room. It needs no extra height. A short game room asks far less of the building than a full bay.
We have not built a golf room in Westminster. In SW1 we fitted an apartment with interiors and joinery. One team would design, price and build it.
