NU Projects is a design and build company in Fulham SW6, founded in 2010. We handle luxury painting, decorating and specialist finishes in St John’s Wood NW8. Decoration is priced room by room, after a survey. Call 020 7731 6841, and a budget estimate typically follows within seven days.

St John’s Wood is detached and semi detached stucco villas, with real gardens. A villa is seen from every side. Its paint has to protect as well as please.

Westminster’s guide asks for stucco in the established colour, avoiding brilliant white. Original unpainted stucco should stay unpainted. The finish is gloss or eggshell, never textured.

Old stucco cracks and lets water in. We cut out loose areas and make them good before painting. Paint over a failed patch only hides it for a season.

Inside, families live hard. Hallways, stairs and kitchens take a scrubbable finish. Drawing rooms can carry softer, flatter paints.

Our nearest finished house is in North London N2. Part of St John’s Wood is conservation area, so we check each address first.
