What We Do

## Expert Services, Built to the Highest Standard

### Landscaping
Full garden transformations across West Sussex — from levelling and planting through to lighting, lawns and timber features. Designed to match how your family actually uses the space.

### Driveways
Block paving, resin-bound and tarmac driveways with proper sub-base preparation and compliant SuDS drainage. Built to handle British weather and daily family vehicles for decades.

### Patios &amp; Paving
Indian sandstone, porcelain and natural stone patios laid on full mortar beds — not spot-bedded. Sealed, jointed and finished to a standard that holds up through every winter.

### Extensions
Single and double-storey home extensions managed end-to-end, including building control, structural calcs and trades coordination. One point of contact from foundations to handover.

### Bricklaying
Precision brickwork for boundary walls, garden pillars, retaining walls and feature finishes. Matched bonds, clean joints and proper coping to keep walls watertight long term.

### Fencing
Closeboard, panel, post-and-rail and bespoke timber fencing — concrete-set, levelled and capped. Supplied and installed across Crawley, Horsham and the wider West Sussex area.

### Carpentry
Bespoke carpentry inside and out — pergolas, decking, garden offices, sleeper beds and structural timber work. Hand-finished joinery built to last beyond the guarantee.

### Groundworks
Foundations, footings, drainage runs, soakaways and site clearance. The unseen work that makes everything above it sound — done to building control standards every time.

### Garden Renovations
Tired gardens stripped back and rebuilt — new patios, lawns, beds, fencing and lighting in one coordinated project. Less hassle than juggling multiple separate trades.

Areas We Cover

## Trusted Builders Across West Sussex &amp; Surrey Borders
Based in Crawley (RH10), Burton Builds covers a 25-mile radius across West Sussex and into east Surrey. Most enquiries get a free site survey booked in within 3–5 working days.

### Crawley

Our home base (RH10). Regular projects across Furnace Green, Maidenbower, Pound Hill, Three Bridges and Tilgate — usually on site within a week of survey.

### Horsham

Driveways, patios and rear extensions across RH12 and RH13 — from Roffey and Broadbridge Heath through to the older Victorian streets near the town centre.

### Redhill

Landscaping and groundworks across RH1, including Earlswood, Whitebushes and Merstham. Familiar with the clay-heavy soil that catches a lot of cheaper installs out.

### Brighton

Garden renovations, decking and bespoke carpentry across BN1 and BN2 — from Hove through to Kemptown. Coastal-grade timber and fixings used as standard.

### East Grinstead

Extensions, patios and fencing across RH19 — Felbridge, Ashurst Wood and the surrounding villages. Plenty of conservation-area-aware work in our portfolio.

### Burgess Hill

Block-paved driveways and full garden renovations across RH15. Quick travel from our Crawley base means tight project timelines and reliable site days.

### Haywards Heath

Landscaping, paving and home extensions across RH16 and RH17 — Lindfield, Cuckfield and Ardingly included. Strong working relationships with local building control.

### Horley

Driveways, patios and groundworks across RH6 — Horley town, Smallfield and surrounding lanes. Sensible options for properties with awkward access or narrow drives.

### Reigate

Premium patios, walling and full landscaping across RH2 — including Reigate Heath and Woodhatch. Material recommendations matched to period and modern properties alike.

Local Knowledge

## Building in West Sussex: What Local Homeowners Should Know
Building work in West Sussex isn't quite the same as anywhere else in the country. The Weald clay that runs under most of Crawley, Horsham and Haywards Heath shifts noticeably between wet winters and dry summers, which is why so many older patios and paving and driveways across the region eventually crack, sink or pull away from the house. A lot of the call-outs we get for repairs come down to the same issue — sub-bases that were too shallow, spot-bedded slabs, or drainage that was never properly thought through.

That's why every Burton Builds project starts with what's underneath. Our groundworks and drainage team digs to the depth the ground actually requires — not the depth that's quickest — and uses the right MOT type 1, geotextile membranes and falls to keep water moving away from your home. For driveways in Crawley, Horley and Burgess Hill we follow current SuDS guidance so surface water drains lawfully into a soakaway or permeable surface, not onto the public footpath. It's the kind of detail that doesn't show in photos but decides whether a build lasts five years or twenty-five.

Local context matters above ground too. Properties in conservation areas around Reigate, East Grinstead and parts of Horsham often need careful material choices to keep within local planning expectations — Indian sandstone or reclaimed brick over modern porcelain in some streets, traditional closeboard fencing rather than panel where neighbours expect a uniform look. Period homes around Brighton and Hove ask for matched pointing and brickwork and weather-grade timber that handles the salt air. We've worked across enough of West Sussex over the past 14+ years to know which finish suits which street, and to flag any planning or building control hurdles before they become your problem — including on home extensions and full garden renovations.

That's the difference a local builder makes. You're not getting a national rate card and a sub-contracted crew — you're getting Rhys on site, a known number to call, and a team that will still be operating in the same nine towns we cover next year if anything ever needs looking at. Browse our recent West Sussex project photos to see how that plays out on real jobs.
