Covering Hyde
Hyde is about 7 miles east of Manchester. We also cover Denton (2 miles to the west), Dukinfield and Stalybridge.
Homes in the North West
Across the North West, Victorian terraces, inter-war semis and modern estates all feature, and brick or stone matching is chosen to suit each street.
What is included in a mansard loft conversion in Hyde?
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.
- Slate cladding and lead-clad dormers
- Staircase, insulation and fit-out
- En-suite, electrics and fire safety
What will a mansard loft conversion cost?
What mansard loft conversions typically cost. These are guide ranges; the written quote for your house replaces them.
| Mansard loft conversions | Guide price incl. VAT |
|---|---|
| Rear mansard | £65,000 to £85,000 |
| Front and rear (double) mansard | £80,000 to £110,000 |
What approvals does a mansard loft conversion need in England?
In England we deal with the council’s planning team for permission or a lawful development certificate, with building control (the council or a registered building control approver) for inspections, and with neighbours under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 where it applies.
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 can affect a mansard loft conversion?
- Council design guides often require natural slate and lead.
- Scaffolding and a temporary roof are usually needed.
From first call to completion

- 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
How long does a mansard take?
Around 10 to 14 weeks on site after planning approval.
