Homes in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire
In Scotland many families extend bungalows and semis, while tenement flats bring shared ownership of roofs and walls that needs agreeing early.
What do you get with a mansard loft conversion?
Mansards are a bigger structural job than other conversions because the roof is largely rebuilt. They normally need planning permission, and many councils have design guides setting the angle, materials and window style. We prepare the design to those guides and build in slate, lead and timber or approved alternatives.
- Building warrant application and completion certificate
- Planning application to local design guidance
- Slate cladding and lead-clad dormers
What is the guide price for a mansard loft conversion in Aberdeen?
Guide prices for mansard loft conversions, including VAT where it applies. Your fixed price is confirmed in writing after the survey.
| Mansard loft conversions | Guide price incl. VAT |
|---|---|
| Rear mansard | £65,000 to £85,000 |
| Front and rear (double) mansard | £80,000 to £110,000 |
What approvals does a mansard loft conversion need in Scotland?
Scottish projects follow a different process from England: the council issues a building warrant before work starts and accepts a completion certificate at the end, alongside any planning permission needed. We prepare both applications.
This needs planning permission and a building warrant from your council in Scotland before work starts.
What should I think about before starting?
- The roof is open for longer than with a dormer, so weather protection matters.
- Scaffolding and a temporary roof are usually needed.
What are the steps?
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
- We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
- Design and fixed price. You get drawings and a written price for the agreed specification before anything is ordered.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
