What does a mansard loft conversion involve?
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 and building regulations checks under Welsh rules
- Planning application to local design guidance
- Structural design and party wall process

Do you need permission for a mansard loft conversion in Cowbridge?
Planning decisions in Wales are made by the local council, using permitted development rules set by the Welsh Government rather than England’s. Building regulations in Wales have their own approved documents, and the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies to work on shared walls and boundaries.
This needs full planning permission from your council in Wales. We prepare and submit the application and deal with the planning officer on your behalf.
What can change the price or programme?
- Council design guides often require natural slate and lead.
- Scaffolding and a temporary roof are usually needed.
