What do you get with a mansard loft conversion?

A mansard loft conversion replaces one or both slopes of a roof with a near-vertical wall, typically at 70 degrees, with small dormer windows set into it. It creates almost a full extra storey and is common on terraced houses in towns and cities, particularly in London.

What approvals does a mansard loft conversion need in Scotland?

Projects in Scotland need a building warrant from the council before any building work starts, and a completion certificate once it is finished. Planning permission is a separate decision. The Party Wall etc. Act does not apply in Scotland; shared walls are governed by title deeds and the law of the tenement where relevant.

This needs planning permission and a building warrant from your council in Scotland before work starts. We prepare both applications.

What can affect a mansard loft conversion?

The roof is open for longer than with a dormer, so weather protection matters.
Council design guides often require natural slate and lead.
