Carpentry & joinery
Carpenters in Brighton & Hove.
Carpentry is the trade Capstone was built around — from structural first fix to the fine second-fix details that finish a room. Fitted wardrobes, doors, floors, staircases and everything in between.
About this service
Carpenter, done properly.
Capstone was started by Charlie and Liam, friends for over ten years with carpentry at the heart of what they do. Between them and a trusted network of tradespeople they know personally, Capstone covers almost every part of building work — but carpentry is the core.
That means first fix — stud walls, joists, roof timbers and door linings — and second fix: doors, skirting, architrave, staircases, boxing in and fitted furniture. It also means the bespoke joinery jobs that don't fit a category: alcove shelving, window seats, media walls, cladding and one-off pieces built for the space.
If the job needs more than carpentry, we bring in the right trades and manage it. One point of contact, start to finish.
Skirting & architrave
New or replacement skirting and architrave, mitred and scribed to the room.

Built-in shelving, cupboards, window seats and media walls.
Stud walls & partitions

First fix carpentry
Joists, roof timbers, door linings and structural carpentry.
Bespoke joinery
Made-to-measure pieces built for the space — cladding, panelling and one-offs.
Repairs

“The guys were exceptional. Arriving at the agreed time, work carried out within our agreed timeframe, finish was outstanding and our house was left in an immaculate state.”
“Charlie and his team have been very helpful and efficient, always get the job done quickly.”
“I had to pass on a decking job recently because I was extremely busy. I trusted Capstone to take it on. They smashed it. Proper tidy work. The client was buzzing, no messing about. It's refreshing having another company you can genuinely rely on when you're overloaded. I'd confidently recommend them to anyone. It's a 10/10 from me.”
