Wilby & Burnett LLP

We believe that every building project deserves a blend of creative architectural vision and rigorous technical surveying. Since 1979, we have operated as a multi-disciplinary practice, providing our clients with a single point of contact for design, management, and professional advice.

Whether you are embarking on a complex fire damage reconstruction or a sensitive heritage renovation, we bring over four decades of experience to the table. Based in Saffron Walden, we serve clients throughout the UK, with a particular focus on London and the South East.

Direct Partner Involvement on Every Project

What truly sets us apart is our commitment to senior-level oversight. We don't pass your project down to junior staff; we ensure that a Partner or Associate is directly involved in every instruction. This guarantees that all surveying and architectural work is supervised by experts who are leaders in their fields.

Our leadership team includes:

• Warren Harper BSc (Hons) MRICS: Partner and Building Surveyor with us since 1988.
• Sean Kelleher BSc (Hons) MRICS: Partner and Building Surveyor with over 25 years at the practice.
• Stuart Pelan BSc (Hons) MRICS: Partner responsible for guiding our next generation of surveyors.
• Lianne Toothill BA (Hons), DipArch: Partner and lead Architect.
• Mark Knowles BSc (Hons) MRICS: Associate Partner and specialist in P402 Asbestos Surveying.

From Heritage Landmarks to Modern Hubs

Our portfolio is as diverse as our skill set. We take immense pride in our ability to handle unique challenges, from the conversion of historic parish halls to the construction of brand-new community pavilions.

Notable recent successes include the extensive £915,000 fire reconstruction of St. Joseph’s Willesden and the delicate renovation of the Fry Art Gallery, a Grade II listed building dating back to 1856. These projects demonstrate our ability to balance modern requirements with historical integrity.

Why Homeowners and Investors Trust Us

We understand that property projects can be daunting. That’s why we offer a comprehensive in-house service that covers the entire lifecycle of a building. By keeping design and management under one roof, we ensure better communication, tighter budget control, and a more cohesive final result.

"Our aim is to exceed expectations every time, providing high-quality advice and support from the very first consultation through to the final completion of the works."

We are constantly evolving, with our team regularly participating in RICS and RIBA accredited training to stay at the forefront of construction technology, sustainable solutions, and the latest industry regulations.
