NU Projects is a design and build company in Fulham SW6, founded in 2010. We handle luxury refurbishment in Highgate N6, under one contract. Nick prices a full renovation after a free visit. Call 020 7731 6841, and a budget estimate typically follows within seven days.

Highgate’s oldest houses cluster around the village core, and many are Georgian. Haringey made its side a conservation area in December 1967.

Refurbishment here is mostly hidden work. Old wiring, tired plumbing and cold rooms are the usual brief. Gas goes to Gas Safe registered engineers, power to NICEIC approved ones.

Period joinery, cornices and chimneypieces are surveyed before strip out. What survives is repaired. Where a house is listed, consent covers the inside as well.

Outside, the neighbourhood plan asks for care. Roof materials should match, and good chimneystacks stay. Renewing a roof means repairing what the street can see.

Our nearest finished house is in N2, close to Highgate. It was reconfigured and fitted out throughout, with joinery by Cochrane Bespoke.

Do I need permission to refurbish inside a Highgate house?

Not usually, if the house is unlisted.

A listed house needs consent for work affecting its character, inside included.

Building Regulations apply either way.

Can I fit a heat pump to my Highgate home?

Often, as permitted development, if the outdoor unit stays under 1.5 cubic metres.

In the conservation area it may not face a road.

A listed house needs consent instead.

Should I keep the chimneys when renewing a Highgate roof?

Where they add to the street, the neighbourhood plan asks for that.

Replacement slates or tiles should match the originals.

How close is NU’s nearest refurbishment to Highgate?

A house in N2, nearby.

It runs to 3,500 sq ft, finished in 2017 after about 54 weeks.
