Homes in the West Midlands
Across the West Midlands, terraced and semi-detached houses in red brick are typical, along with post-war estates where garage conversions and side extensions are popular.
What is included in a mansard loft conversion in Burntwood?
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.
- Roof removal and new mansard frame
- Slate cladding and lead-clad dormers
- Staircase, insulation and fit-out
What will a mansard loft conversion cost?

Do you need permission for a mansard loft conversion in Burntwood?
In England we deal with the council’s planning team for permission or a lawful development certificate, with building control (the council or a registered building control approver) for inspections, and with neighbours under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 where it applies.
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 Burntwood homeowners check first?
- A mansard nearly always involves party walls on both sides of a terrace.
- The roof is open for longer than with a dormer, so weather protection matters.
