WHO WE ARE
Jim Lyons & Steve Cross
JPL Contracting is a small building company run by Jim Lyons and Steve Cross, based in Horley and working across Surrey and West Sussex. We set the business up together in 2009 and have worked side by side ever since, building extensions, garage conversions and home reconfigurations, from a simple porch to a double-storey wraparound.
We’re not a big firm, and we don’t want to be. When you work with us, you deal with the same two people from the first site visit to the final handover. You won’t be passed between departments or left wondering who to call.
Most of our work comes from recommendations, and we’d like to keep it that way. That means doing what we say we’ll do, being honest about costs from the outset, and never adding to the price once we’re on the job.
If you’re planning an extension and want the stress taken out of it, we’d love to hear from you.
When you get in touch with JPL Contracting, you're not passed between departments or left chasing someone new every time you have a question.
From your first enquiry right through to project completion, you'll be dealing directly with either Jim or Steve.
We believe that's how building work should feel: personal, accountable and easy to reach. No call centres, no account managers you've never met.
Just two people who know your project inside out, from the first conversation to the final handshake.
The Process
1.
Get in Touch
We’ll arrange a site visit to meet face to face and talk through what you’re after. We can give you a guide price to check the job’s in budget, or point you towards an architect if you need drawings.
Already got plans? We’ll assess the site and get a costing back to you, usually within a fortnight.
2.
Confirm and plan.
Ready to go ahead? We’ll agree start dates and set up a stage payment schedule, so the works are broken into clear stages and everyone’s protected as the job moves forward.
3.
Site set-up.
Toilet and skip arrive, and groundworks begin with the footings.
4.
Building up.
Once building control sign off the footings, we build up, brick and block, roof on,
wind and watertight. This is when it starts looking like a house again.
5.
First fix.
Electrics, plumbing, windows, doors, and stud walls go in before anything’s covered up.
Building control check in at key points.
6.
Plastering and second fix.
Kitchen, bathroom fittings, flooring, and all the fittings go in once the plaster’s dry.
7.
Finishing touches.
Decoration, snagging, and final sign-off from building control, so you’ve got your certificates.
8.
Handover.
Keys, paperwork, and a run-through of aftercare and guarantees.
Happy customers
