What is 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
- Structural design and party wall process
- Slate cladding and lead-clad dormers

Planning and building rules in Ebbw Vale
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 should Ebbw Vale homeowners check first?
- Council design guides often require natural slate and lead.

How does the project run?

- Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.

- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
