About the Practice
Barton Engineers is a UK-based structural and civil engineering consultancy renowned for its expertise in building conservation and innovative design solutions. The firm offers comprehensive services across various sectors, including residential, commercial, arts, and education, with a significant focus on the conservation of historic buildings and structures. Their work encompasses structural and fabric surveys, conservation assessments, management plans, listed building consents, and contract administration for a wide range of projects.
In the realm of building conservation, Barton Engineers has demonstrated a commitment to preserving the integrity of historic structures while integrating modern functionalities. A notable project includes the Central Hall Roof Refurbishment at The National Gallery, where the firm prepared architectural and structural designs for a new roof membrane and reconfigured access systems, enhancing maintenance capabilities and integrating improved services. Another significant project is the restoration of The Wiener Library in Russell Square, London, where Barton Engineers addressed previous unsympathetic alterations and reinforced the building's structural integrity, ensuring its suitability as a modern library and archive.
Barton Engineers' approach to conservation projects is characterized by meticulous planning and a deep understanding of historical contexts.

This integration of technology ensures that every detail is considered, and projects are executed with a high level of precision.
The firm's portfolio also includes innovative structural solutions for contemporary projects. For instance, in the Balham Grove development, Barton Engineers researched various construction systems and implemented an in-situ flat slab solution to optimize construction times and costs. Their ability to adapt and innovate across different project types underscores their versatility and commitment to delivering high-quality engineering solutions.
For building conservation professionals, homeowners, and enthusiasts, Barton Engineers offers a blend of traditional conservation expertise and modern engineering practices.
