RefurbishmentMarylebone W1
Luxury refurbishment in Marylebone.
Georgian apartments, often listed, renovated with the period fabric kept. Designed, priced and built by one team.
Old rooms, new work inside them.
NU Projects is a design and build company in Fulham SW6, founded in 2010. We handle luxury refurbishment in Marylebone W1, under one contract. A full renovation runs £160 to £350 a sq ft, construction only. Call 020 7731 6841, and a budget estimate typically follows within seven days.
Marylebone is Georgian terraces, most now split into apartments. Many are listed, with tall rooms and fine plasterwork.
We renovated a first floor apartment in a Grade II listed building here. The plasterwork, marble chimneypieces, panelling and shutters were kept.
A contemporary kitchen went into the double reception room. A marble waterfall island sits under the period ceiling.
That is the Marylebone brief in short. The old fabric stays, and the new work sits inside it.
What the council allows.
- Council
- City of Westminster, for planning and listed building consent.
- Listed buildings
- Listed consent covers inside work too. Plasterwork, chimneypieces and shutters are part of the listing.
- Conservation areas
- Most of Marylebone is conservation area. Changes seen from the street are judged closely.
- The estates
- Much of Marylebone belongs to large estates. A leaseholder usually needs the estate’s licence too.
- Apartments
- The lease and the managing agent decide what can change. They also set working hours.
