NU Projects is a design and build company in Fulham SW6, founded in 2010. We handle design and build in South London SW and SE, under one contract. The calculator gives your own range in a minute, by scope and finish. Call 020 7731 6841, and a budget estimate typically follows within seven days.

South London houses are wider and deeper than most in the centre. Victorian and Edwardian family homes, with long gardens behind.

That space suits a side return, a full-width extension or a new basement. Lambeth supports extensions that stay subordinate to the house.

We draw it, price it open book and build it, under one contract. The borough is confirmed first, since Lambeth and Wandsworth meet here.

Our Clapham work includes bespoke cabinetry and joinery, made by Cochrane Bespoke.

What the councils ask of a South London home.

Council
London Borough of Lambeth, under its Local Plan adopted in September 2021.
Policy Q11
Extensions are supported in principle, if they stay subordinate to the house.
Full width
Full-width rear extensions are normally supported. Wraparounds are resisted in conservation areas.
Policy Q27
One storey below ground, and none beneath an existing basement.
Wandsworth side
Near Clapham Junction, Wandsworth’s Policy LP5 applies instead. We confirm the borough first.
