NU Projects is a design and build company in Fulham SW6, founded in 2010. We handle luxury painting, decorating and specialist finishes in Primrose Hill NW1. Decoration is priced room by room, after a survey. Call 020 7731 6841, and a budget estimate typically follows within seven days.

Primrose Hill is known for its painted fronts. Small Victorian terraces face the park, with short front gardens. Many houses are split into flats.

Colour here is controlled. A 1983 Article 4 direction covers front alterations on the houses Camden lists. It includes painting brickwork seen from the street.

So painting a bare brick front can need planning permission. Repainting a front that is already painted is a different question. We check the schedule for your address first.

Where flats share one front, the freeholder usually has a say in the colour. We agree it in writing before any scaffold goes up.

Inside, rooms are small, so pale colour and a gentle sheen carry light. Our nearest finished work is in North London N2 and Marylebone W1.
