Builders in Brighton

A family-run firm with over 35 years in the building trade. Extensions, loft conversions, basements and refurbishments across Brighton and Hove.

A small, family-run building company in Brighton

County Structures is a family-run firm of builders in Brighton. We have been in the building trade for over 35 years, and we specialise in the jobs where experience counts: house extensions, loft conversions, basements, full refurbishments and structural work.

Grant leads our projects, so the person who prices your job is the same person making sure it is built properly. Our office is on South Road in Brighton, so we are never far from the job.

We offer a complete design, manage and build service. We use the same architects, surveyors and structural engineers on job after job. That keeps drawings, planning and building control moving, and you deal with one team from start to finish.

Recent building work in Brighton and Hove

Our building services

We take on house building work of all sizes. One steel beam is a proper job to us, and so is a new house. Carpentry, brickwork, plastering, plumbing, electrics and decorating are all covered, so you only deal with one firm.

House extensions

Rear, side return and wraparound extensions that give Victorian terraces and 1930s semis the kitchen and living space they need.

Loft conversions

Dormer, mansard and rooflight loft conversions, from the first drawings to building control sign-off.

Basement conversions

Cellar conversions and new basements, dug out, underpinned and waterproofed so the space stays dry.

Refurbishment & renovation

Full house and flat refurbishments, including period and listed properties, with one team running the whole job.

New builds & flat conversions

New houses and conversions of large Brighton houses into self-contained flats, built to current regulations.

Structural repairs

Steel beams, knock-throughs, Helibar crack stitching and wall tie replacement, designed with a structural engineer.

Soundproofing

Acoustic floors, walls and ceilings for flats and conversions, built to meet Part E of the building regulations.

Brickwork & repointing

New walls, chimneys, flint work and repointing in lime or cement, matched to the brick that is already there.

Plastering & rendering

Skimming, full re-plastering, lime plaster for older homes and external render that stands up to sea air.

Carpentry & joinery

First and second fix, stairs, doors, built-in storage, floors and roof carpentry for new and old homes.

Painting & decorating

Interior and exterior decorating, with proper preparation, as a standalone job or to finish off your building work.

Design & build

One team for drawings, planning, building control and the build itself, so you have a single point of contact.

County Structures is a small, friendly and reliable Brighton building company, providing a complete design, manage and build service for your home.

Why choose County Structures?

Grant is your contact from the first phone call to the last day on site. He will tell you straight what the job needs and what it will cost.

35+ years in the building trade

We are a small, family-run business with over 35 years in construction. We have converted a listed 1850s building into four apartments, turned the top of a Victorian house into two flats and worked on homes all over Brighton and Hove.

We do what we say

You get a start date and a realistic finish date, and we tell you early if anything changes. When we turned the top two floors of a Victorian house into two flats, we finished within days of the date we predicted.

Skilled, tidy craftsmen

We keep the site tidy and sheeted up at the end of each day. If you are living in the house while we work, we plan the order of the job so you still have a kitchen and a bathroom wherever we can.

Grant runs the job on site and is the one you call with questions. At the end, building control signs the work off.
