Exterior work · Decking

Decking in Brighton & Hove.

Timber and composite decks built on a proper frame — raised decks, steps, balustrades and wrapped fascias — designed to stand up to the Sussex coast.

About this service

Decking, done properly.

A deck lives or dies by its frame. Boards get all the attention, but sunken, bouncy or rotten decks almost always come back to what's underneath — joists too far apart, timber in contact with the ground, poor drainage. Near the coast, that happens faster.

We build decks the way a carpenter would: a properly spaced, treated frame on solid footings, then timber or composite boards, steps, balustrades and fascias finished neatly. We also repair and rebuild existing decks, replacing rotten frames and boards.

Pair it with a slatted screen, planters or a garden structure and we'll build the lot.

  • Composite decking

    Low-maintenance composite boards with hidden fixings and wrapped fascias.

  • Timber decking

    Softwood and hardwood decks built on a treated frame.

  • Raised decks & steps

    Decks stepping down from doors, with stairs and balustrade.

  • Deck repairs & rebuilds

    Rotten frames and sunken boards replaced and rebuilt properly.

Why Capstone

What you can count on.

  • Built frame-first

    The frame is carpentry, and it's what makes a deck last. We don't skimp on what you can't see.

  • A clear, written quote

    You get the scope and the price in writing before anything is booked. No vague lines, nothing held back to add on at the end.

  • Only people we know

    Everyone who works on a Capstone job is someone we know personally and have worked alongside. No strangers from a marketplace turning up at your door.

  • Finished, photographed and followed up

    When the work's done you get an invoice and photos of the finished job, and we check in afterwards. If something isn't right, we come back and put it right.

“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.”

Questions

Decking: common questions.

How much does decking cost in Brighton?

It depends on the size, timber vs composite, how high the deck sits and whether there are steps or balustrades. We'll give you a fixed, written quote after seeing the space.

Composite or timber?

Composite costs more up front but needs far less maintenance. Timber is cheaper and natural-looking but needs treating. We'll talk you through both.

Can you repair my existing deck?

Yes. Most failing decks come down to the frame, so we'll check what's underneath and replace what's needed.
