Most South Kensington homes are flats. We rewire, replumb and reheat them inside the lease, with the agent informed.
Flats first, and the odd mews.
- SW7
- Stucco terraces, mostly flats
- Part P
- Every rewire tested and certified
- Mews

NU Projects is a design and build company in Fulham SW6, founded in 2010. We handle mechanical, electrical and plumbing in South Kensington SW7, 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.
South Kensington’s stucco terraces rise four or five storeys. Most are split into flats. A whole house is the exception, not the rule.
In a flat, the work stays inside your demise. Shared pipes, risers and flues belong to the building. We survey where yours stop before we draw anything.
Flats and maisonettes have no householder permitted development rights. So an outdoor condenser or new flue on the facade needs permission. Inside, comfort cooling can run through a ceiling void.
Electrical work must meet Part P of the Building Regulations. Our NICEIC approved engineers test every circuit and certify it. Gas work is done by Gas Safe registered engineers.
Mews houses sit behind the main terraces. Here a heat pump may be possible. Class G allows one unit, but not facing a road in a conservation area.

Can I install comfort cooling in a South Kensington flat?
Usually, if the lease and the freeholder allow it.
The outdoor unit needs planning, as flats have no permitted development.
We look for an internal or roof position first.
Who is responsible for shared pipes in a South Kensington conversion?
Normally the freeholder, through the managing agent.
Your pipes run from the shared stack to your taps.
We map the boundary during the survey.
Could a South Kensington mews house take a heat pump?
Possibly, under Part 14 Class G.
In a conservation area, the unit may not face a road.
We check the roof and any courtyard for a position.
How is a South Kensington rewire certified?
Our NICEIC approved engineers test each circuit to Part P.
You get the certificate and the test results at handover.
