Homes in London
Terraced houses dominate many London neighbourhoods, so most projects involve shared walls, narrow access and a party wall process. Conservation areas are widespread, and some boroughs have their own mansard and basement guidance.
What does a mansard loft conversion involve?
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 application to local design guidance
- Slate cladding and lead-clad dormers
- Staircase, insulation and fit-out

Do you need permission for a mansard loft conversion in Greenford?
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 should I think about before starting?
- A mansard nearly always involves party walls on both sides of a terrace.
- Scaffolding and a temporary roof are usually needed.
What are the steps?
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
- 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.
- We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.

Typically £65,000 to £110,000 including VAT, depending on whether one or both roof slopes are rebuilt.

A mansard gives more usable space and often fits a street better where neighbours already have one.
