NU Projects is a design and build company in Fulham SW6, founded in 2010. We handle luxury painting, decorating and specialist finishes in West London W/SW. Decoration is priced room by room, after a survey. Call 020 7731 6841, and a budget estimate typically follows within seven days.
A good finish here is mostly preparation. Old layers are tested for lead before anyone sands them.
Stucco fronts in Kensington and Notting Hill need breathable mineral paint. A sealed coat traps damp and starts to sheet off.
Inside, period walls often carry lime plaster. We match the paint to the wall, so it can still dry out.
Our decorators have worked through Chelsea houses and Fulham terraces. One Chelsea dining room carries hand painted blossom walls.

Do I need consent to repaint a West London house?
Inside an unlisted house, rarely.
A listed house needs consent where work touches historic fabric.
Some leases fix an outside colour and a repainting cycle.
What paint suits a stucco front?
A breathable mineral paint.
A plastic coat traps moisture, and the paint starts to lift.
Is lead paint common in West London houses?
Houses from before about 1960 may carry it.
We test before sanding, and set the method from the result.
Can you paint murals or specialist finishes?
Yes. One Chelsea dining room has hand painted blossom walls.
Specialist finishes are sampled and priced before work starts.
