What goes into 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.
- Planning application to local design guidance

Planning and building rules in Bexhill-on-Sea
English projects need planning clearance from the local council, building regulations sign-off from building control, and party wall notices where the work is on or near a shared boundary. We prepare and manage all three.
Mansard conversions change the shape of the roof significantly, so they usually need planning permission in England. Many councils publish guidance on mansard design.
What should I think about before starting?
- The roof is open for longer than with a dormer, so weather protection matters.
- Council design guides often require natural slate and lead.
What are the steps?
- Tell us about the project. Call, use the guide price tool or send the form with a few photos and a postcode.
- We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
