Where we work
Neighbourhoods we cover in Brighton & Hove.
Our engineers live here, so the streets are familiar and the journey times are short. These are the neighbourhoods we cover every day:
Kemptown
Regency terraces, communal-stair flats and the small businesses along St James's Street.
Hanover
Hillside terraces with bay windows, loft conversions and steep-access access issues we know well.
Preston Park
Victorian and Edwardian family houses, many still with original sash windows and fireplaces.
Fiveways
1920s and 1930s semis on the border with Hollingbury and Patcham — roofs, gutters and gardens.
Hove
Regency squares, mansion blocks and seafront flats that need marine-grade exterior materials.
Portslade
A mix of old village cottages, post-war estates and light industrial units by the harbour.
Rottingdean
Village houses, seafront cottages and bungalows exposed to the worst of the salt air.
Saltdean
1930s modernist homes and clifftop apartment blocks, many with flat roofs and coastal wear.
Woodingdean
Hilltop family homes and bungalows, handy for the A27 and the eastern postcodes.
Moulsecoomb
Student lets, HMOs and terraces where fast reactive maintenance matters most.
Local knowledge
Common Brighton property issues we fix every week.
Brighton and Hove are wonderful places to own a property — and testing ones. The sea, the age of the housing stock and the number of conversions create a set of problems we see again and again:
Salt air
Within a mile of the sea, salt air corrodes metal fixings, gutters, window furniture and external fixings far faster than inland. We specify marine-grade screws, fixings and coatings for coastal properties, and we check gutters, downpipes and external paintwork more often than an inland contractor would — because Brighton's seafront addresses genuinely need it.
Period sash windows
Brighton's Regency and Victorian sash windows are part of the city's character, but they rot, rattle, stick or shed cords. Wherever we can, we repair rather than replace — re-cording, easing, draught-proofing and splicing in new timber — because a sympathetic repair keeps the window, keeps the character and usually costs less than a like-for-like replacement.
Damp in basement flats
Basement flats across Kemptown, Hanover and Hove sit in chalk soil that holds water, and many were converted before modern tanking standards existed. We diagnose whether the problem is rising damp, penetrating damp or condensation, then fix the cause — tanking, drainage, ventilation or a dehumidifier strategy — rather than just painting over the stain.
Converted Victorian houses
So many Brighton homes started life as one family house and are now two, three or four flats. That means shared services, ageing wiring and plumbing, poor sound insulation and — for landlords — a compliance checklist that grows with every unit. We work on conversions every week, from rewiring one flat to bringing a whole building's fire doors, alarms and certificates up to standard.

Customer reviews
Words from our customers.
We had an extension which needed to be repaired as previous builder did not construct correctly. Aran came into the project and ripped out the whole roof. He was clear and precise with the work, whilst managing to keep the project within budget and fitting our timeline. We can't recommend him enough!
Aran and his team built me a custom wardrobe, shelves and storage space for our growing family. After receiving quotes from places like Sharps, his team achieved the same spec for half the price! Thanks lads
I used Framework for a pretty strange but turned out brilliant Argentine-style parrilla/BBQ area in my back yard. He was a very friendly guy and would definitely recommend. Thanks Aran
Your questions
Brighton & Hove FAQs.
Which parts of Brighton do you cover?
All of Brighton and Hove, including Kemptown, Hanover, Preston Park, Fiveways, Hove, Portslade, Rottingdean, Saltdean, Woodingdean and Moulsecoomb, plus the BN1, BN2, BN3, BN41 and BN42 postcodes. If you are just outside those postcodes, call us on 01273 111098 and we will tell you straight away whether we can reach you.
How quickly can you get to my property?
We run a same-day response target across Brighton and Hove, with office hours of 8am - 9pm Monday - Sunday. Emergency line 7 Days a week for plumbing, gas, electrics and lock-outs. Because our engineers are based in Brighton, most call-outs within the city are short journeys rather than cross-county runs.
Do you work on period and listed properties?
Yes. A large share of our Brighton work is on Regency, Victorian and Edwardian buildings. We favour repair over replacement for sash windows, original doors and joinery, and we are happy to work within conservation-area constraints. If a job needs specialist consent — for example listed-building approval — we will tell you before we start, not after.
Can you help me keep my rental property compliant?
Yes. We carry out EICR electrical inspections, smoke and CO alarm checks and the remedial works that follow, and we run a licensing-ready package for Brighton & Hove's selective licensing and HMO areas. See our EICR Brighton & Hove page, our landlords hub, or our guide to selective licensing in Brighton & Hove.
What if my job needs a specialist, like gas or major electrics?
Gas and major electrical work is carried out by registered specialist partners we have worked with for years, coordinated by us so you deal with one company and one point of contact. Everything else — plumbing, carpentry, decorating, roofing, handyman work, plastering and more — is handled by our own team. You can see every trade we cover on our services page.
