Building Experts in Burgess Hill
Burgess Hill has grown significantly over recent decades, evolving from a small market town into one of Mid Sussex's largest residential centres. This growth has created a diverse housing stock — from the older properties around the town centre and St John's Park to the extensive post-war estates, 1970s developments, and the new-build neighbourhoods of the Northern Arc.
Masters Group has served Burgess Hill homeowners throughout this period of growth, delivering extensions, renovations, loft conversions, and new builds across all parts of the town. Our Brighton base is just 15 minutes south via the A23/A273, giving us faster access to Burgess Hill than most competitors.
We work regularly with Mid Sussex District Council's planning department and understand their specific policies, particularly around the housing allocation areas and the South Downs National Park boundary that runs close to the town's southern edge.
Burgess Hill's position on the London–Brighton railway line makes it popular with commuters, driving strong demand for home improvements that add space and value. Whether you need an extra bedroom, an open-plan kitchen diner, or a home office, we deliver projects that enhance both your lifestyle and your property value.

Construction Challenges in Burgess Hill
Burgess Hill sits on Weald Clay, one of the most challenging soil types for construction in southern England. Clay soils shrink in dry weather and swell when wet, creating ground movement that can crack foundations, distort structures, and damage drainage. Any extension or new build in Burgess Hill must be designed with clay-compatible foundations — typically deeper strip foundations or engineered raft foundations.
Many of Burgess Hill's 1960s and 1970s properties were built to standards that fall well short of modern building regulations. Flat-roofed extensions, single-skin garage walls, and minimal insulation are common. These structures often need complete replacement or significant upgrading to meet current standards.
The town's rapid expansion has placed pressure on drainage infrastructure. Surface water management is a key consideration for any new development, and sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) are increasingly required by Mid Sussex District Council as a condition of planning approval.
Properties near the Northern Arc development area face construction traffic and access challenges that require careful logistics planning. Our experience managing complex sites means we coordinate deliveries and access to minimise disruption.
Radon gas is present in some parts of Mid Sussex. We conduct appropriate surveys and install radon protection measures where required, ensuring compliance with building regulations and protecting your family's health.
