What we do

Anything from a shelf to a whole house.

Finished Homes grew out of plastering and now covers the full renovation, so one team can take a room from stripped back to ready to live in.

Plastering and rendering

Cracked walls, uneven ceilings and tired exteriors re-plastered or re-rendered, ready for decorating.

Full house renovations

Layout changes through to finishing touches, with the respect Brighton's older homes need.

Loft conversions

Extra bedrooms, snugs and home offices, from the structural work to the last coat of paint.

Kitchens and carpentry

Kitchen fitting, bespoke shelving, fitted wardrobes, doors and woodwork that suit awkward spaces.

Bathrooms and tiling

New bathrooms, splashbacks and floors tiled for kitchens and wet areas, modern or traditional.

Plumbing and electrics

Repairs, upgrades and full installs, from a leaky tap to rewiring an older property.

Painting and decorating

Interior and exterior painting, feature walls and wallpapering, finished neatly.

Flooring and sanding

Laminate, engineered, herringbone and wood flooring, plus floor sanding.

Also on the list: insulation, scaffolding, rubbish clearance and general handyman jobs.

Damp proofing

Salt air and old walls. We deal with both.

Seafront homes and anything with a basement are usually hit hardest. Left alone, damp brings mould, bad smells, damaged plaster and worse. We treat the cause, not just the stain.

30year guarantee
on damp proofing

Tanking

A waterproof coating on walls or floors to stop moisture getting through.

Basements, cellars and rooms below street level

Plastic sheeting

A tough damp-proof membrane behind walls or under floors to block ground moisture.

Victorian and Edwardian homes with solid floors

Damp proof rods

A water-repelling solution released into the mortar line through small holes.

Rising damp where the old barrier has failed

Damp proof course

A new barrier at the base of the wall, usually an injected solution.

Long-term protection against rising damp

We choose the method that suits your home and how bad the damp is, and we can fit damp readers so you can keep an eye on it long after we have gone.

About Finished Homes

Started with plaster. Now the whole house.

Today Glen and his team handle renovations, loft conversions and everything in between, using only fully qualified, experienced tradesmen who are reliable and professional.

Whether you are refurbishing a new home or hanging a simple shelf, there is someone on the team for the job.

Highly recommended and if I ever need any construction work, Glen will be the first number I ring."

FAQs

Good questions to ask a builder.

Which areas do you cover?

We work across Brighton, Hove and Eastbourne and the wider East Sussex area. When you book a quote, add your full address so we know whether to send someone from the Brighton or Eastbourne team.

Do you offer free quotes?

Yes. Quotes are free. You can book an hour slot for someone to come and look, or call 07595 370448 to talk it through first. Morning building quotes are available on request.

How much does damp proofing cost?

It depends on the type of damp, the method needed and how much of your home is affected. Damp proofing usually starts at a few hundred pounds, and a survey tells us exactly what your home needs.

Is there a guarantee on damp proofing?

Yes, our damp proofing comes with a 30-year guarantee.

Can you damp proof without removing plaster?

Sometimes, especially with damp proof rods or certain chemical injections. If the plaster has already absorbed salts or moisture it usually needs to come off, so stains and damp patches do not come back. A damp survey confirms which applies.

Do you take on a whole house, or just one room?

Both. We handle full house renovations and loft conversions, and smaller jobs like a single room or a new set of shelves.
