Homes in the North West
Terraced housing is a defining feature of many North West towns, which brings party walls and narrow access into most projects, with more space to extend on suburban semis.
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.
- Structural design and party wall process
- Roof removal and new mansard frame
- En-suite, electrics and fire safety
How much should I budget for a mansard loft conversion?
Use these ranges to budget for mansard loft conversions; the survey turns them into a fixed price for the agreed specification.
| Mansard loft conversions | Guide price incl. VAT |
|---|---|
| Rear mansard | £65,000 to £85,000 |
| Front and rear (double) mansard | £80,000 to £110,000 |
Do you need permission for a mansard loft conversion in Macclesfield?
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. Many councils publish guidance on mansard design.
What should I think about before starting?
- A mansard nearly always involves party walls on both sides of a terrace.
- Council design guides often require natural slate and lead.
What happens after I enquire?
- Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
- We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
- Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
Your questions answered

Around 10 to 14 weeks on site after planning approval.
Why choose a mansard over a dormer?
A mansard gives more usable space and often fits a street better where neighbours already have one.
Who deals with the council for a project in Macclesfield?
