Luxury renovation and refurbishment in London.
Marylebone · W1 · a Grade II listed apartment, renovatedCompleted work, photograph
A whole house renovation or refurbishment, run by one team on one contract.
Every room, one contract, one accountable team.
A whole house renovation reworks structure, services, kitchens, bathrooms and joinery together. We are NU Projects, design and build in Fulham SW6 since 2010. A full renovation runs £250 to £650 a sq ft, construction only. Call 020 7731 6841, and a budget estimate typically follows within seven days.
A luxury renovation touches every room, not just one. Architecture, interior design, cost and construction run under the same contract. One accountable team carries the project from brief to handover.
Our renovation scope covers finishes, strip out, structure and services. Every room and every retained element is defined in writing. That keeps the scope clear before the price is fixed.
A period or listed house is assessed against its significance first. Consent comes before the strip-out, never after.
The work can be phased, room by room, if needed. Phasing can add repeated setup and temporary protection. We weigh that cost against your priorities, before you decide.
Already have an architect or designer? We build to their design, and work with them through to handover.
Michael, a client in Fulham, wrote of the finish. “The standard of finish is excellent and every detail was carefully considered.”

The design team created our dream Chelsea home, on budget and on time. Thank you.
From the survey to the last coat of paint.
- 01
The brief and the survey
How you live, written down. Then the house measured, room by room.
- 02
The budget estimate
A first price from the brief and the property, typically within seven days.
- 03
Design and specification
Layouts, joinery, stone, lighting and services chosen, room by room.
- 04
The cost plan, then one contract
A price built line by line from the drawings. Provisional sums named, not buried.
- 05
Strip-out, structure and services
One site team, a project manager and a report every week, with photographs.
- 06
Finishes, handover and aftercare
Joinery and finishes fitted, then a handover pack, a defects period and aftercare.
Six things to settle before the strip-out.
- 01
The scope, room by room
Every room and every retained element defined in writing, before the price is fixed.
- 02
Living in, or moving out
Dust, noise, access and safe services decide it. A deep refurbishment usually means moving out.
- 03
Phasing
Room by room is possible. It adds repeated setup and protection, so it is priced first.
- 04
Period and listed fabric
Each change is assessed against the building’s significance. Consent comes before any opening up.
- 05
Comfort and services
Fabric, moisture, ventilation and heating are designed together, not one at a time.
- 06
The programme
Scope, design readiness, approvals and procurement set it. Snagging is in it from the start.

Further reading, from the journal
How much does a luxury house renovation in London cost?
A full renovation runs £250 to £650 a sq ft, construction only. A super prime finish runs £500 to £800 a sq ft.
Cost depends on floor area, scope and specification.
Structural changes, access, services, kitchens, bathrooms and joinery all move the total.
Use our build cost calculator for an initial range. We then develop a property-specific cost plan.
What is included in a full house renovation?
Our renovation scope can include finishes, strip-out, structure, services or a full fit-out.
We define every room and retained element in writing, so the scope is clear.
A full renovation runs £250 to £650 a sq ft, construction only.
Can I live in the property while it is renovated?
This depends on separation, access, safe services, dust, noise and the work sequence.
A deep refurbishment often makes staying in the property impractical.
We plan this with you rather than assume either way.
Can the renovation be phased room by room?
We can phase work by room to help with access or funding.
Phasing can add repeated setup, temporary protection and service changes.
Work in one room can depend on systems serving the rest of the house.
How long does a full renovation take?
Duration depends on scope, design readiness, approvals, access and procurement. It also depends on the build itself.
We build commissioning, snagging and final installation into our move-in forecast.
Our Chelsea terraced house, 3,200 sq ft, took about 50 weeks on site.
Can I renovate a Grade II listed home?
Yes. We assess every change against the building’s significance and consent needs.
Do not assume an internal alteration is exempt. Visibility from the street is not the test.
A full renovation runs £250 to £650 a sq ft, construction only.
How much does a complete house renovation cost in London?
Our full renovation band is £250 to £650 a sq ft, construction only.
A super prime finish runs £500 to £800 a sq ft.
Fees, contingency and VAT sit outside both.
Will you build to my own architect’s design?
Yes. Already have an architect or designer? We build to their design.
We price their drawings line by line, then work with them through to handover.

Your name and one way to reply are enough. It goes straight to the studio.
