Homes in the Lothians
In Scotland many families extend bungalows and semis, while tenement flats bring shared ownership of roofs and walls that needs agreeing early.
What goes into a mansard loft conversion?
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.
- Planning application to local design guidance
- Staircase, insulation and fit-out
- En-suite, electrics and fire safety

How is a mansard loft conversion approved in Linlithgow?
Scottish projects follow a different process from England: the council issues a building warrant before work starts and accepts a completion certificate at the end, alongside any planning permission needed. We prepare both applications.
This needs planning permission and a building warrant from your council in Scotland before work starts. We prepare both applications.
What should I think about before starting?
- The roof is open for longer than with a dormer, so weather protection matters.
- Council design guides often require natural slate and lead.
