NU Projects is a design and build company in Fulham SW6, founded in 2010. We handle luxury painting, decorating and specialist finishes in Hampstead NW3, under one contract. Decoration is priced room by room, after a survey. Call 020 7731 6841, and a budget estimate typically follows within seven days.

Hampstead houses sit high, many facing the heath. Trees tint the daylight, and it shifts all day. A colour chosen in a shop rarely survives it.

So we paint large sample boards and leave them up. You see each one at dawn, noon and dusk. Then we choose.

Many walls are old lime plaster on brick. A plastic emulsion can trap damp and blister. We use mineral or clay paints that let the wall breathe.

Camden needs listed building consent even where planning is not needed. Painting unpainted surfaces of a listed house is likely to need it. Conservation areas cover most of Hampstead village too.

Our nearest finished house is in North London N2. We plan, protect, price and finish the work as one team.
