Fencing & garden screening in Brighton & Hove.
Horizontal slatted and Venetian batten fences, close-board fencing, privacy screens and gates — set out straight and fixed to posts that don't lean after the first winter.
About this service
Fencing & screening, done properly.
Brighton & Hove gardens take a battering from coastal wind, and a fence is only as good as its posts. We set posts properly, keep runs straight and level, and build fences and screens that look as good in five years as the day they went in.
Contemporary horizontal slatted and Venetian batten fences are a big part of what we build — consistent gaps, hidden fixings where possible and a clean top rail. We also build traditional close-board fencing, replace panels and posts, and make and repair gates.

“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
Fencing & screening: common questions.
How much does a new fence cost in Brighton?
It depends on length, height, style and whether old fencing and posts need removing. Slatted fences use more timber and labour than panels. We'll give you a fixed, written quote.
Do you remove the old fence?
Yes, removal and disposal can be included in the quote.
Can you fix a sagging gate?
Yes. Most sagging gates can be braced and re-hung; if it's beyond saving we'll make a new one.
