NU Projects is a design and build company in Fulham SW6, founded in 2010. We handle luxury refurbishment in West London W/SW, 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 West London houses we refurbish are Victorian or older. Behind the front, the wiring, plumbing and floors are often tired.
We survey the house first, then strip it back to the structure. New services go in before any plaster or joinery.
Period detail is recorded and kept where it matters. Cornices, fireplaces and shutters can return to rooms that lost them.
Recent West London refurbishments include a Kensington townhouse and a Fulham family house. Both were renewed throughout, by one site team.
What the borough asks of a West London refurbishment.
- Council
- Kensington and Chelsea governs Chelsea, Kensington and Notting Hill, through its 2024 Local Plan. Fulham sits with Hammersmith and Fulham.
- Conservation areas
- About three quarters of the borough is conservation area. Applications there must be made in full.
- Listed buildings
- In a listed house, consent covers inside work that touches the historic fabric.
- Communal gardens
- Rear elevations facing communal gardens may matter as much as fronts, the plan says.
- Garden flats
- Most are leasehold. The freeholder’s consent usually sits beside the council’s.
- Divided houses
- Kensington and Chelsea’s Policy HO1 bars merging existing flats.
