Older Hampstead houses need warmer rooms without losing their character. We plan heating, drainage and power to suit the hill and the plan.

NU Projects is a design and build company in Fulham SW6, founded in 2010. We handle mechanical, electrical and plumbing in Hampstead NW3, under one contract. MEP is priced from the drawings, after a survey of what is there. Call 020 7731 6841, and a budget estimate typically follows within seven days.

Hampstead’s houses are Georgian and Victorian, many looking over the heath. Most are family homes, with gardens that matter as much as the rooms.

The Hampstead Neighbourhood Plan favours reuse, lime and timber. Its Policy DH3 supports sensitive energy upgrades. Better heating, controls and ventilation sit comfortably within that.

Old solid walls need to breathe. When they are insulated, ventilation has to rise to match. Otherwise damp moves inside, behind the finishes.

The hill brings groundwater, and every basement here feels it. Sump pumps, drainage and backup power are designed together. A failed pump below ground is an emergency, not a nuisance.

Camden has 40 conservation areas covering about half the borough. Listed houses need consent even where planning does not. We check both before choosing plant positions.

Can a Hampstead house be made warmer without spoiling it?

Yes. The neighbourhood plan supports sensitive energy upgrades.

We start with controls, emitters and ventilation, then look at the plant.

Why does ventilation matter after insulating a Hampstead house?

Insulation keeps moisture in as well as heat.

Without more ventilation, damp can appear behind new finishes.

What happens if a basement pump fails in Hampstead?

Water can rise quickly where groundwater is high.

We fit a second pump, an alarm and battery backup.

Does a listed Hampstead house need consent for new heating?

Often, if the work affects its character.

Camden requires listed building consent even where planning is not needed.
