Homes in the Lothians

Scottish homes range from city tenements and sandstone terraces to bungalows and modern estates, and the building warrant process shapes the programme for every project.

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.

What approvals does a mansard loft conversion need in Scotland?

Projects in Scotland need a building warrant from the council before any building work starts, and a completion certificate once it is finished. Planning permission is a separate decision. The Party Wall etc. Act does not apply in Scotland; shared walls are governed by title deeds and the law of the tenement where relevant.

This needs planning permission and a building warrant from your council in Scotland before work starts.

What should Haddington homeowners check first?

The roof is open for longer than with a dormer, so weather protection matters.
Council design guides often require natural slate and lead.
