Carpentry · Flooring
Flooring fitters in Brighton & Hove.
Engineered and solid wood, laminate and luxury vinyl tile — laid on a properly prepared subfloor and finished with skirting and thresholds that do the floor justice.
About this service
Flooring, done properly.
A new floor is only as good as what's underneath it. In older Brighton & Hove houses that usually means floorboards that creak, joists that have dipped and a subfloor that's anything but flat. Lay a new floor straight over the top and the problems come straight back through.
Because flooring sits within our carpentry work, we start with the structure: lifting and refixing boards, sorting loose or damaged joists, and boarding or levelling where it's needed. Then the new floor goes down — engineered wood, solid wood, laminate or LVT — with the right underlay, expansion gaps and a clean finish at doorways.
We'll fit new skirting or scotia to finish it, trim doors to clear the new floor height, and if you're doing the whole room, take care of the wardrobes, doors and decorating as well.
Engineered & solid wood
Real wood floors laid floating, glued or secret-nailed depending on the board and the subfloor.
Laminate flooring
Hard-wearing laminate with the right underlay, laid tight and finished cleanly.
LVT & vinyl plank
Luxury vinyl tile for kitchens, bathrooms and hallways where water resistance matters.
Subfloor repairs
Creaking boards, dipped joists and damaged sections sorted before the new floor goes down.
Levelling & boarding
Ply boarding and levelling so the finished floor sits flat and stays that way.
Skirting, thresholds & doors
New skirting or scotia, door bars and doors trimmed to clear the new floor.
Why Capstone
What you can count on.
Carpenters, not just floor layers
We can fix what's underneath — boards, joists and levels — rather than laying over a problem.

What clients say
Real reviews, from Google.
“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.”
Questions
Flooring: common questions.
How much does it cost to have flooring fitted in Brighton?
It depends on the size of the room, the type of floor, and especially the condition of the subfloor underneath. We'll look at what's there and give you a fixed, written quote — including any repair or levelling needed — before we start.
Do you supply the flooring or do I?
Either works. We can source it for you, or fit flooring you've already chosen.
Can you fix creaking floorboards before laying a new floor?
Yes. Sorting the subfloor is part of doing the job properly, and it's one of the main reasons to use carpenters for flooring.
Will my doors need trimming?
Often, yes — a new floor usually raises the floor height slightly. We'll trim and re-hang doors as part of the job.
Can you lay flooring in a kitchen or bathroom?
Yes. LVT and vinyl plank are well suited to kitchens, bathrooms and hallways, and we'll make sure the edges are sealed properly.
