Specialist builders for smart, local projects
We’re an independent building company based in Brighton & Hove, specialising in thoughtful, high-quality renovations, extensions and refurbishments. We take on the kind of complex, awkward or detail-led projects that others often avoid, with a focus on clear communication, smart planning and careful craftsmanship.
What sets us apart
Smart planning
We take time to understand each space and client properly. That means no rushed quotes or cookie-cutter builds. Every project starts with a solid plan.
Sensible scale
We take on the kinds of jobs others avoid: awkward layouts, period buildings, or projects that need creative thinking, not a wrecking ball.
Built properly
We work with trusted local trades to deliver solid, well-executed builds. Quality matters; from foundations to finishes, it’s all about doing the job right, safely and carefully
How we work
Soundhouse Build is led by Nick, who started the company in 2002 with a simple aim — to do building work properly, without the usual faff. Since then, we’ve grown into a small but experienced team based in Brighton & Hove, with a reputation for quality craftsmanship, clear communication, and a sensible approach to even the trickiest of jobs.
We don’t have an office. We don’t run ads. Most of our work comes through word of mouth, from clients and architects who know us, trust us, and come back again. You’ll usually spot Nick by his green VW truck — a well-known fixture on local jobs and currently in the middle of a slow, careful restoration.
We’ve worked on everything from bespoke lofts to whole-house refurbishments and complex extensions. Whatever the scale, our focus is always the same: make it solid, make it smart, and make sure the client feels looked after. We do things thoroughly, not rushed — and we don’t claim to be the quickest. We also work closely with local building control. Every job is properly inspected, so standards stay high and no corners get cut.
Soundhouse Build sits alongside Soundhouse — the original Brighton company known for beautiful loft conversions, extensions and other home projects.
“Tops on. Radios off. That’s the rule.”
