Renovations
A renovation is the chance to update your layout, create better space and modernise your home. JFD project-manages renovations of every size across the South Downs, Surrey, Hampshire and Sussex.
Whether through an extension, a reconfiguration or a full refurbishment, we bring your vision to life with skilled trades coordinated under one roof. From kitchens and bathrooms to whole-house transformations, we handle the build, the finishes and everything in between. We renovate homes from our Midhurst base across West Sussex — Chichester, Petersfield and beyond — together with Surrey and Hampshire.
Our clients value our transparency and attention to detail — you will always know what is happening, when, and what it costs, with quality craftsmanship at every stage.
What does a renovation with JFD look like?
We begin with a site visit and a proper conversation about how you live and what is not working about the space today. From there we produce a clear, itemised quote and a stage-by-stage programme. Where designs or structural input are needed, we bring in trusted architects and engineers so you are not left chasing separate firms. Most of our renovation work comes through recommendation from previous clients in Midhurst, Petersfield and the surrounding villages, which is exactly how we like it — a finished job that sells the next one.
Throughout the build you deal with one accountable team rather than a string of unconnected trades. That single point of responsibility is what keeps a renovation on budget, on programme and free of the finger-pointing that derails so many projects.
Why does one team for every trade matter?
Builders, electricians, plumbers, plasterers, carpenters and decorators are all coordinated under one roof. Because the same firm carries the job from first fix to final finish, the details line up — the sockets land where the units go, the plastering is ready for the decorators, and nothing falls between the gaps.
How long does a renovation take and what does it cost?
A kitchen or bathroom renovation typically takes 3–6 weeks; a whole-house refurbishment runs to several months depending on scope. We agree the figure and the programme before we lift a tool, and our transparent, itemised pricing means you always know what you are paying for and why.
FAQ
Renovations — frequently asked questions
How much does a renovation cost?
Every renovation is different, so we provide a clear, itemised quotation after a site visit rather than a vague ballpark. There are no hidden extras — you see exactly what is included before any work begins.
How long does a full renovation take?
A single kitchen or bathroom typically takes 3–6 weeks, while a whole-house refurbishment usually runs to several months depending on scope. We give you a stage-by-stage programme up front.
Do you handle design as well as the build?
Yes. Where your project needs drawings or structural input, we coordinate trusted architects and engineers so you deal with one accountable team from design through to finished build.
Will I have a single point of contact?
Yes. A dedicated project lead runs your renovation from start to finish, so you always know who to call and what is happening that week.
