How we handle your barn conversion project


When we start working on your barn conversion, we’ll ask you a few simple questions:

  • Have you engaged an architect?
  • Have you involved a structural engineer?
  • Do you have planning permission?

If you’re not quite at this stage, we can refer you to one of our trusted associates. We work closely with architects and structural engineers who create plans for barns for conversion. They will also guide you through the planning process to ensure all the necessary permissions are in place.

It’s at this point that the JMW team can become fully involved. We offer a turnkey service, personally carrying out your barn conversion from start to finish. We handle every stage of the project, from clearing the site, to the building work, to engaging trades. We’ll fit the bathrooms and kitchens, fully decorate to a superior standard and professionally clean the building and site from top to bottom, before we hand you the keys. We can even landscape the grounds for you.

Do I need planning for my barn conversion?

For a barn conversion, you will almost certainly need planning permission. If you have yet to engage the services of an architect, we can introduce you to one of our trusted associates.

Once you have your planning permission in place, we would be happy to then discuss handling your barn conversion project.

Barn Conversions for business

Not all barns for conversion will be used as homes. At JMW, we are able to convert barns into accommodation for business or even for storage.

Among our clients was a home owner who had a dilapidated barn he wanted converting for business use, to run a floristry enterprise. We gutted the building, renovating throughout and introducing larger windows and doors to increase ventilation for the flowers. We also landscaped the grounds.

At another site, we converted space above a stable block into office accommodation and a studio. We introduced dormer windows to increase natural light, and we even restored the timber-framed bell tower on top of the barn.

This project was a little different to other barns we have worked on as the client didn’t want to covert the barn - just have it restored!

What Our Customers Think

James and his team have completed a large project to build a 2 storey extension and re-model our extension. All of the JMW team have been punctual, have turned up as planned and have done a great job. It has not been a problem having them in the house.

The finished project is great!

JMW recently completed a unique contemporary low carbon single storey extension for our home. James was enthusiastic about our project from the start and we had a shared vision on how it should be realised. All of his team were polite, friendly and a pleasure to have working in our house.  It is great to see him supporting the education of a number of apprentices under the guidance of his highly skilled leads. We are really happy with the end result and it has transformed our home.

JMW recently completed our two storey side extension. We are so happy that we had James & co to take on our project. They were able to start quickly & were friendly and professional throughout. James’ whole team were hard working, dedicated and took pride in their work. James & his team took the stress out of the project and we were able to let him manage it which was perfect for us and exactly what we were looking for. We would highly recommend JMW to complete an extension or general carpentry.

Just had a full house renovation and a knock through to create an open plan downstairs by James and his team. They were honest and very professional from the word go. Nothing was too much trouble for them. They even came up with some fantastic ideas that we hadn't thought of.

Our home feels like a new house!!
