NU Projects is a design and build company in Fulham SW6, founded in 2010. We handle luxury refurbishment in North London NW and N, 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.
Many North London houses are Victorian or Edwardian, some far older. Their sashes, cornices and floors are often worth keeping. Camden’s plan pushes the same way.
We survey the fabric before anything is stripped out. Lime plaster, timber and original doors are logged room by room. Then we decide what stays, what is repaired and what goes.
Wiring, plumbing and heating are usually renewed in full. Routes are planned so period ceilings are not cut. Finishes go in last, once the house is dry and tested.
Our North London work includes a 3,500 sq ft house in N2. It was reconfigured and fitted out on every floor.
