Planning a whole-house renovation starts with realistic budgeting and clear priorities. At JMD we begin by listening to your goals, then carry out a detailed survey to identify structural work, mechanical and electrical upgrades, and finishes that will affect cost and programme. We’ll give you an itemised estimate with our assumptions, allowances and exclusions, and a phased plan so you can see how trades will be coordinated.
Is £30k enough? That depends on size and scope. For a small property doing mainly cosmetic updates it might cover essentials; structural work, rewiring or high-spec finishes push costs much higher. We never guarantee exact prices or completion dates, but we do provide practical guidance, multiple-quote comparisons and a recommended contingency (typically 10–15%) for hidden issues.
If you’re a homeowner in Wokingham, Maidenhead, Marlow, Ascot, Cookham, Twyford, Woodley or Winkfield planning an extension, whole-house renovation, garage or loft conversion, or structural reconfiguration, get in touch for a survey and a clear, itemised quotation. Tell us your priorities and budget and we’ll explain the likely options and next steps.
