Conservation

With over four decades of expertise, Wilby & Burnett is a leading multi-disciplinary practice of Chartered Architects and Building Surveyors based in Saffron Walden. We specialise in the sympathetic preservation of the South East’s built environment, combining architectural creativity with technical rigour to ensure heritage assets are both aesthetically restored and structurally resilient.

Our conservation work is grounded in a deep understanding of historic fabric and statutory frameworks, including Grade I, II, and II listed building consents* and specialist HCC applications. Adhering to BS 7913:2013 principles, we deliver tailored solutions—from reinstating ornate brickwork at Saffron Walden Town Hall to managing high-value, complex refurbishments at national landmarks like the V&A Museum.

Beyond restoration, we act as lead consultants to integrate modern performance into historic settings. By managing projects from initial condition surveys through to post-completion, we ensure the long-term viability of significant landmarks. Our team remains dedicated to preserving the integrity of the original structure while ensuring it continues to serve the community for generations to come.
