"Lubos built beautiful alcove shelving in our living room — perfectly matched to the existing Victorian cornicing. Measured, fitted, painted. Couldn't be happier. Highly recommend!"
"Exceptionally good and professional. Lubos hung 3 internal doors in our Edwardian semi — all frames were out of square and he fitted them perfectly. Exceeded expectations in every way."

Frequently Asked Questions — Carpentry Brighton
How much does fitted shelving cost in Brighton?
A basic alcove shelving unit (MDF shelves, painted to match your walls) typically costs £200–£350 fitted. A more detailed unit with cupboards below and open shelves above is £350–£500. Solid wood or oak shelving costs more. We provide a written quote after measuring up.
Can you hang doors in older Brighton properties where frames aren't square?
Yes — this is one of the most common carpentry jobs in Brighton's Victorian terraces, where settlement means almost nothing is truly plumb or square. We trim the door to fit the actual opening rather than assuming it's square, and adjust hinges and latch strike accordingly.
Do you match period skirting boards and architraves?
We do our best to match or source the closest available profile to your existing boards. Many Victorian and Edwardian profiles are still available as standard mouldings. Where they aren't, we advise on the nearest equivalent or commission bespoke mouldings for significant period features.
Can you build fitted wardrobes in a Brighton flat?
Yes. We build fitted wardrobes to measure in alcoves, recesses, or along a full wall. We use MDF, plywood or solid timber depending on your specification and budget, and finish to paint or with a wood veneer as required.
