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?
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.
- Roof removal and new mansard frame
- Staircase, insulation and fit-out
- En-suite, electrics and fire safety

How is a mansard loft conversion approved in Hounslow?
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 can affect a mansard loft conversion?
- The roof is open for longer than with a dormer, so weather protection matters.
- Scaffolding and a temporary roof are usually needed.
