What we look for in Burgess Hill
We cover Burgess Hill and nearby Haywards Heath, Portslade and Hove. It's roughly 11 miles from Burgess Hill to Crawley, the largest town in West Sussex. Homes across the South East range from inter-war semis and post-war estates, which are mostly cavity-walled, to older solid-walled cottages and Victorian town terraces.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across West Sussex: sheltered town streets fare better than walls on high ground or facing the prevailing weather, and the render, beads and cill details are chosen with that in mind.
Where a home in Burgess Hill is system-built, the first job is confirming the construction type.

England: planning and regulations
For a house in Burgess Hill, external insulation or render is often permitted development if it looks similar to the existing walls; conservation areas, flats, commercial buildings and listed buildings need permission or consent, so we check your address first.
Insulating or re-rendering more than half of a wall's area brings in Part L of the Building Regulations, so building control is notified and the wall is upgraded to about 0.30 W/m²K where practical.
Does EWI fix mortgage problems with PRC houses?
Not on its own. Some precast reinforced concrete (PRC) house types were designated defective, and many lenders want a certified structural repair before they will lend. Insulation and render over the outside is not that repair. Other types, such as Wimpey no-fines, are generally treated differently. If mortgageability matters, speak to your lender or a surveyor before booking any work.

Non-traditional houses in Burgess Hill: questions
What if my neighbour isn't insulating?
We finish the system neatly at the boundary with a closing detail so the neighbouring house isn't affected and can be joined later.
Can you insulate a Wimpey no-fines house?
Yes. No-fines houses have solid poured-concrete walls with no cavity, so EWI is the usual route. The survey checks the concrete condition first.
Can you put EWI on a BISF house?
Yes, with care. The steel frame and upper-storey cladding need a system and fixing method designed for that construction, and the condition of the frame should be understood first.
Do you cover Burgess Hill?
Yes — we survey and quote non-traditional house insulation in Burgess Hill (RH15) and nearby Haywards Heath, Portslade and Hove, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
