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

Most of the time goes into preparation. Old SW houses carry cracked lime plaster and many coats of paint. We fill, line and sand before any colour goes on.

Houses from before about 1960 may hide lead paint. We test it first, and strip it safely where needed.

Specialist finishes are sampled on the wall before work starts. We hand painted blossom across a Chelsea dining room. Lacquers and glazes are matched to the joinery beside them.

Outside, conservation rules shape the colours and the materials. On a listed house, painting a bare surface may need consent.

What to check before the first coat.
