We supply and install bifold doors in Burgess Hill, from replacement garden doors to full-width openings on new extensions. The right choice depends a lot on the type of house, so this page looks at the homes we see most often in Burgess Hill and the doors that tend to suit them.
Burgess Hill grew quickly after the London to Brighton railway arrived in 1841, and the local clay supported a large brick and tile industry. Today it is one of the largest towns in Mid Sussex, with major new housing being built at the Northern Arc on its northern edge.
The older streets close to the town centre and the two railway stations, where kitchen extensions and side-return infills are common.
Often suits: 3 or 4-panel aluminium or heritage bifold doors
Semi-detached and detached homes with medium-sized gardens, well suited to a single-storey rear extension with a full-width opening.
Often suits: Aluminium bifold doors with a low threshold
Recent developments, including the Northern Arc, where owners often replace standard patio or French doors with something wider.
Often suits: Aluminium or Origin bifold doors, or supply only for your own builder
Planning in Burgess Hill is handled by Mid Sussex District Council. On new-build estates, check your deeds and the original planning permission, as some developments remove permitted development rights or have covenants affecting alterations.
Separately from planning, replacing an external door that is more than half glazed is controlled work under the Building Regulations. The installer should be registered with a competent person scheme such as FENSA, which certifies the work and notifies your council, or the installation needs approval from building control. New openings and extensions need building control sign-off in their own right. You can check whether any installer is registered on the FENSA website.
To talk through a Burgess Hill project, call 01444 719602.
Check two things first: whether the planning permission for your estate removed permitted development rights, and whether altering an opening affects your new-home structural warranty during its first years. Your warranty provider can confirm what they need to see.
Very often. Many 1930s semis in Burgess Hill have a rear wall that can take a wider opening with a new steel beam, or a single-storey extension across the back. Three or four aluminium panels is a common choice for this type of house.
