Builders in Burgess Hill: building for a growing town
Burgess Hill is changing fast, with thousands of new homes planned or under way on its northern side. Bradford Brickwork serves the town as builders in Burgess Hill, taking on house extensions, new builds, repointing, lintel work and commercial projects.
Burgess Hill then and now
Like Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill grew around the Brighton Main Line, and Victorian brick terraces still line some of the older streets near the station. Brickmaking was once an important local industry. Today the town is one of the fastest-growing in Mid Sussex, with large new neighbourhoods adding to the twentieth-century estates already there.
Extensions and bricklayers in Burgess Hill
As the town grows, so does demand for house extensions in Burgess Hill on both newer and older properties. We also take on bricklaying repairs and work as building contractors in Burgess Hill, covering the town as part of our West Sussex area.

Local building character
Medieval heritage and Victorian rail town
Burgess Hill originated in three medieval parishes: Clayton, Keymer and Ditchling, all named in the Domesday Book. The town's name comes from the Burgeys family. By the Elizabethan period a community had established itself, and many period buildings from this era still stand.
The London to Brighton Way was an ancient route. The railway brought significant development in the 19th century, transforming Burgess Hill into a Victorian market town. The railway era building boom created much of the current town character.
Burgess Hill now spans the West Sussex-East Sussex border on the edge of the South Downs National Park. The town is diverse in character, with medieval core, Elizabethan survivors, Victorian development and modern growth. Church Walk is a pedestrianised shopping area in the town centre.

Garden and patio redesign
Matt was able to discuss our patio and garden plans with us and and put them in to reality.
The end result is everything we had hoped for, we're really pleased with the result. We now have an eye-catching low maintenance garden.
We also had the house wall repointed.
Superb Brickwork, Highly Recommended
The brickwork on our new‑build barn‑annex, including the chimney stack and a one‑metre perimeter wall, was completed to a superb standard. The team kept the site consistently tidy, worked with real pride, and showed genuine passion for the craft. Everyone was polite, respectful, and easy to deal with, making the whole process smooth from start to finish. Highly recommended for reliable, quality brickwork.
Stunning new garden
Amazing experience with this friendly, considerate and highly skilled team. We had a new wall, fence, patio and artificial grass laid. The results are even better than we hope. Would highly recommend Bradford Brickwork.
Shorten garden wall and make good driveway
Matt and his team did a very good job of putting right a job previously carried out by a non qualified brick layer.
The job is now completed to a very high standard and everything was left clean and tidy. The team were polite and courteous at all times. We would highly recommend .
Repointing house wall
We needed one wall of our house repointed, but we also needed the ridge tiles replaced as well as the roof verges.
Matt was very knowledgeable and the brickie he supplied was really good and very helpful. Nathan went above and beyond.
They were really easy to get on with and did a superlative job.
I would thoroughly recommend and definitely use them again, if the need arises.
Definitely 20 stars !!
Build Parapet wall using lime mortar
Quick response and competitive quote.Very neat job using lime mortar to rebuild a section of wall at the top of the house and cap with coping stones.Very friendly crew who were punctual and tidied up thoroughly at the end of the job.
Brickwork to extension.
Matt attended to quote and review on brickwork before and after completion of work. Advised on house generally. Respected garden and placed lawn boards. Particularly impressed with matching the coloured mortar, unlike previous contractor.
Brick soldier course for lintel above window
Looked at pics and assessed the job, came to quote. Saw that it was urgent, as my replacement window couldn’t be fitted as the lintel was close to collapse. Matt booked in the job for the next day and 2 of his guys did the work. All very professional.
