Covering Felling
Our coverage around Felling (NE10) also includes Gateshead, Newcastle upon Tyne and Hebburn.
Homes in the North East
The North East has terraced housing including Tyneside flats, inter-war semis and post-war estates, so loft conversions, rear extensions and layout changes are popular ways to add space.
What is included in a mansard loft conversion in Felling?
A mansard loft conversion replaces one or both slopes of a roof with a near-vertical wall, typically at 70 degrees, with small dormer windows set into it. It creates almost a full extra storey and is common on terraced houses in towns and cities, particularly in London.

Planning and building rules in Felling
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. Many councils publish guidance on mansard design.
What should I think about before starting?
- 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.
What happens after I enquire?
- Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
- Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
- Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
Your questions answered
Does a mansard need planning permission?
Almost always, because it changes the roof profile.
Will I need party wall agreements?
Very likely, as the work affects the walls shared with both neighbours on a terrace.
Who deals with the council for a project in Felling?
We do. We prepare the drawings, submit planning or permitted development paperwork if needed, and arrange building control inspections.
