Holtye Windows in Burgess Hill
Burgess Hill grew from a rural settlement into a town of 4,500 people in the thirty years after 1850, on the back of the railway and the brick and tile works that dug the local clay. Many of its Victorian houses are built of what those works made.
Most of the town is newer: family housing added decade by decade since the war, mainly on the west side out to Jane Murray Way, with 3,500 more homes now planned along its northern edge. We cover all of it from East Grinstead, thirteen miles away.
What we fit
Supplied, fitted and guaranteed for 10 years by our own team. Nothing is subcontracted.
Most houses here date from the 1950s onwards and were built with casements. A-rated uPVC casements in white, anthracite or a woodgrain are the straightforward replacement. The bay-fronted terraces of the Fairfield area need more care.
A composite front door changes the look of a 1970s or 1980s house more than any other single job. There are 14 designs and more than a hundred glass options to choose from.
Post-war houses on decent plots are well suited to a conservatory or a single-storey extension. The town is outside both the High Weald and the National Park, so the standard permitted development limits apply.
Tile-hanging and ornamental clay ridge tiles are part of the town’s character. Roofline in a colour that sits with them, in place of bright white, keeps it.
Homes in Burgess Hill
The clay under Burgess Hill built much of what stands on it.
The Fairfield area has the largest concentration of small Victorian terraced houses in Mid Sussex, many of them bay-fronted. Silverdale Road and Birchwood Grove Road, by contrast, are lined with substantial Victorian and Edwardian houses in brick, tile-hanging and render. Both are conservation areas, as is St John’s, round the polychrome brick church of the 1860s.
Between the wars the town grew along Royal George Road, Victoria Road and Leylands Road and out to World’s End. Since 1947 it has spread in every direction, most of all westwards.
The later houses are simple to re-window well. The Victorian ones repay more thought: sliding sashes in the bays, and a front door in a pattern that suits the terrace.

Local planning
Mid Sussex District Council is the planning authority. Burgess Hill has three conservation areas: Fairfield, St John’s, and Silverdale Road with Birchwood Grove Road. None has an Article 4 direction, so a house in any of them can replace its windows and doors without permission, provided the new ones are similar in appearance.
Similar in appearance is the test that matters. A bay-fronted Victorian terrace built with sliding sashes keeps its character with sashes and loses it with casements, whatever the planning position.
The town is not in the High Weald, which starts north of Ansty, but the South Downs National Park is close on the south side: the land beyond Folders Lane is treated as part of its setting. Ditchling, and the downland south of Hassocks and Keymer, are inside the Park, where the National Park Authority decides applications in place of the district council.
