Our Services in Brighton

As a carpenter in Brighton we fit doors, floors, staircases, decking and fencing, and build custom carpentry to order. Many flats here are conversions of larger Victorian houses, and rented flats need fire doors hung to the correct gaps with the right hinges and closers. We fit those properly and leave the details clear for your managing agent.

As a construction company we take on house extensions, loft conversions, bathroom renovations and full house renovations in Brighton. Large parts of the city sit inside conservation areas, which changes what permitted development allows. We check the designation on your street before drawings start, then handle structural steel, building control and the build itself.

As a fitted furniture supplier we build wardrobes, walk in wardrobes, bespoke fitted kitchens, cabinetry and alcove shelving for Brighton homes. Period flats here tend to be tall rather than wide, so full height units gain storage that free standing furniture cannot reach. Every piece is measured on site and scribed to the wall.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you cover Brighton as well as Hove?

Yes. We are based in Hove, so Brighton is a few minutes away and travel is included in the quote with no separate call out charge. Every enquiry gets a reply the same day, and site visits are usually arranged within a few days of your call.

Do I need permission to extend a house in Brighton?

It depends where you are. Much of the city falls within a conservation area, where permitted development rights are reduced, and flats have no permitted development rights at all. We check the designation on your address before any drawings, and deal with the council on your behalf.

Can you fit fire doors in a Brighton flat?

Yes. Rented flats and shared buildings need fire doors hung within tolerance, with the intumescent strips intact and the hinges and closer rated for the door. Fitting a fire door like an ordinary one leaves it unable to perform. We supply, fit and record the details.
