Homes in Dyfed

Housing in Wales ranges from terraced streets in the valleys and older industrial towns to stone-built homes in rural areas and modern estates around the cities.

What is included in a mansard loft conversion in Dyfed?

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.

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.
