NU Projects is a design and build company in Fulham SW6, founded in 2010. We handle luxury painting, decorating and specialist finishes in South London SW and SE. Decoration is priced room by room, after a survey. Call 020 7731 6841, and a budget estimate typically follows within seven days.
Older South London houses carry many layers of paint. Some of the deepest coats may contain lead.
We test before stripping, then use wet methods and dust control. Cornices and ceiling roses are cleaned out, not filled over.
Sash windows, panelled doors and staircases are eased and repaired before painting. Colours are tried as large samples in the room’s own light.
In a Clapham house, we finished wardrobes in a blush pink under the eaves.
What shapes the decoration.
- Council
- London Borough of Lambeth, under its Local Plan adopted in September 2021.
- Lead paint
- Older coats may hold it. We test before stripping.
- Redecoration
- Like for like, in the same colour and finish, usually needs none.
- Listed buildings
- Painting unpainted surfaces is likely to need consent, Historic England says.
