About JNR Building

Meet the Director, Julian

“I started in the construction industry as a bricklayer’s labourer, which, in hindsight, was the best way to learn the trade. With years of experience, I founded JNR Building. We pride ourselves on a close-knit team of trusted tradespeople. From smaller renovations to complete new builds, we’ve got it covered. I’ve continued to expand my skills and now hold BBA certification for fibreglass roofs. With public liability insurance, you can have peace of mind. We’ve been serving Norfolk for over a decade, and we’re here to bring your building dreams to life.”

Testimonials

They say the best way to know a builder is to listen to their customers.
So, take a look at what our customers say about us.

Andrzej
Garage Conversion
Julian and his team were very helpful. They gave us a few nice ideas on how to improve our project. Julian and his team have done a very good job. They have converted our garage into a nice new living room. I would strongly recommend JNR to do any building work. Thank you so much.
Am
Home Extension & Renovation
We couldn't be happier with the work Julian and his team did for us. They turned our small bungalow into a large family home with large new rooms, an entirely new roof, windows, doors, bathrooms, everything. If we have any other requirements in the future, Julian will be the first person we call for sure.
Duncan
Home Extension
Julian and his team have just finished a rear extension to our property. We couldn't be happier with the work Julian and his team did for us. Communication with Julian across the months was just as required, and he was always at the end of the phone or round ours if we needed. Pricing was fair and we always agreed before any extra work was undertaken. If we have any other requirements in the future, Julian will be the first person we call for sure.

You may not need planning permission if your extension falls within permitted development rights — for example, smaller rear extensions that meet specific size and height criteria.

However, every project is different. We can advise you from the outset and support any planning applications if needed. You can also explore the Planning Portal’s guidance on home extensions for more details.

Costs vary depending on size, materials, and complexity, but as a rough guide:

  • Single-storey extensions: £1,500–£2,500 per m²

  • Double-storey extensions: Slightly higher due to structural requirements

We’re happy to provide a detailed, no-obligation quote. Get in touch here.

A renovation updates or restores your existing home — like modernising a kitchen or updating an old bathroom. A conversion changes the use of a space, for example turning a loft into a bedroom or a garage into a living room.

We specialise in both, whether you’re improving a period home or adding usable space to a modern one.

Yes — a well-designed extension can significantly increase your home’s market value. A larger kitchen-diner, extra bedroom, or second bathroom are all desirable features for future buyers. According to property experts, an extension can boost value by up to 20%, depending on location and quality of finish.
