NU Projects is a design and build company in Fulham SW6, founded in 2010. We handle luxury refurbishment in Westminster SW1P, 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.
Close to the river, Westminster is mostly apartments. Georgian terraces hold some, and mansion blocks hold many more.
Most are leasehold, so a refurbishment starts with the lease. It says what may change, and who must agree. The managing agent often fixes noisy hours.
Inside, we renew what decades of use have worn out. Wiring to Part P. Pipework, heating and ventilation, planned before ceilings close.
Westminster has more than 11,000 listed buildings. Where yours is one, period detail is protected inside too. Policy 44 asks that its special interest is kept.
Air source heat pumps can be permitted development, one per block. Never on a listed building, though. In a conservation area, the unit may not face a road.

Where do I start with refurbishing a Westminster leasehold flat?
With the lease. It sets what may change and who must agree.
We read it before any design is drawn.
Can a listed Westminster apartment get new services?
Yes, with care and usually with consent.
Routes are planned around plasterwork, panelling and shutters.
Policy 44 asks that special interest is kept.
Can I fit a heat pump to a Westminster apartment block?
Class G allows one unit on a block of flats, if conditions are met.
Not on a listed building, and not facing a road in a conservation area.
The freeholder must agree as well.
