A local team you can rely on
WJMProjects is a Reading-based building and landscaping company serving homeowners across Berkshire and the surrounding counties. We specialise in exterior property improvements — patios, driveways, fencing, garden walls and full garden builds — alongside extensions, renovations and general building work.
We keep it simple: turn up when we say we will, explain things clearly, use good materials, and finish every job to the standard we agreed. That approach has kept us in work for 35 years, largely through repeat customers and recommendations.

Why choose us
The difference you'll notice
Experienced workmanship
35 years on the tools means fewer surprises for you — problems get spotted early and the finished job stands up to time and weather.
Honest, itemised quotations
You get a written quote that spells out what's included, so you can compare fairly and there are no awkward extras at the end.
Reliable communication
We answer the phone, reply to messages and tell you when we're coming — so you're never left wondering what's happening with your job.
Clean, respectful working
Your home is not a building site free-for-all. We protect access routes, keep the site tidy and leave everything clean when we're done.
Quality materials
We quote for materials that will still look right in ten years, and we'll explain the options so you can choose what fits your budget.
Local knowledge
We know Berkshire's clay soils, drainage quirks and local materials — which means designs that work here, not just on paper.
Attention to detail
Crisp pointing, straight lines, consistent joints — the small things you look at every day are the things we take most seriously.
Finished to the agreed standard
The job isn't done until it matches what we quoted. We walk the work through with you before we call it complete.

A straightforward process with no pressure at any stage.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Yes. We'll visit your property, talk through what you want to achieve and provide a free, written, no-obligation quotation. You'll never be pressured into a decision.
We're based in Reading and cover roughly a 25-mile radius, including Wokingham, Bracknell, Newbury, Henley-on-Thames, Maidenhead, Basingstoke and the villages in between. If you're on the edge of that area, get in touch — we can usually help.
Yes — we carry public liability insurance and are happy to show documentation on request. [Placeholder: confirm cover level, e.g. £X million, before publishing.]
It depends on the scope. As a rough guide, fencing jobs often take a day or two, a typical patio one to two weeks, and full garden transformations or extensions several weeks. Your quotation includes a realistic timescale, and we tell you straight away if anything changes.
Most patios, fencing and landscaping don't need permission. New driveways can have drainage requirements, and extensions usually fall under planning or permitted development rules. We'll flag anything that needs consent before work starts, so you're never caught out.
Yes. Many customers come to us with a rough idea rather than a finished plan. We'll help with layout, levels, materials and planting areas — from a simple sketch to a full garden design.
Yes — waste removal is included in your quotation wherever it applies, so the price you see covers clearing the site properly. [Placeholder: confirm waste-carrier arrangements before publishing.]
[Placeholder: confirm accepted payment methods and any staged-payment structure for larger projects.] We never ask for full payment up front.
Lead times vary with the season — spring and summer book up fastest for garden work. Get in touch early and we'll give you an honest idea of our current availability. [Placeholder: confirm typical lead time.]
