Period property renovations
Specialist renovation services for historic buildings maintain architectural integrity while modernising functionality. Our team handles structural repairs, timber framing, and conservation-compliant upgrades. With 30 years' experience, we deliver tailored solutions that meet listed building requirements and preserve historical character across Hampshire, Berkshire, and Surrey.
Barn conversions
Transform traditional farm buildings into modern living or commercial spaces while retaining original features. We manage planning permissions, structural reinforcement, and bespoke interior design. Our expertise ensures sympathetic conversions that respect heritage values and meet contemporary usage needs across rural properties.
Listed building projects
Specialist construction work for Grade I, II*, and II listed buildings follows strict conservation guidelines. We collaborate with heritage officers to approve repairs, replacements, and adaptations. Our craftsmen employ traditional techniques to maintain historical accuracy while implementing necessary modernisations for practical use.
Conservation area work
Building projects within designated conservation areas require sensitive handling. We ensure all renovations, extensions, and new builds maintain architectural harmony with surrounding properties. Our team navigates local authority requirements to deliver approved developments that enhance rather than detract from protected environments.
Full project management
Comprehensive management of construction projects from initial concept to completion. We coordinate all aspects including design, planning, trades, and timelines. Clients benefit from single-point accountability with John Daborn overseeing every stage to guarantee quality control and adherence to agreed specifications.

Report
JJ Building & Renovation did an amazing job! They were extremely competent and professional. My basement excavation was a really complex job especially to obtain a building license for a habitable room. The job involved labor intensive removal of substrate materials manually handled out through confined, small tight spaces. The room is now complete and finished to such a high standard. Based on this job I later contracted them for a large loft conversion. From structural support work to final fit and finish they did an amazing job. The team are polite, clean and tidy in their work, no surprises

We've used JJ Building & Renovation twice now for both interior and exterior work to our house and each time they have been professional and delivered exactly what they promised to a fantastically high standard. I'd highly recommend them to anyone.
