Homes in the East Midlands
The East Midlands combines red-brick terraces in the cities with a lot of post-war and modern estate housing, so rear extensions, garage conversions and loft conversions are all common.
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.
- Planning application to local design guidance
- Slate cladding and lead-clad dormers
- En-suite, electrics and fire safety

Planning and building rules in Corby
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.
What can affect a mansard loft conversion?
- Council design guides often require natural slate and lead.
- Scaffolding and a temporary roof are usually needed.
From first call to completion

- Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
- Design and fixed price. You get drawings and a written price for the agreed specification before anything is ordered.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
