Across Wales you find valley terraces, coastal towns, rural stone houses and newer estates, so access, slopes and local materials all feature in the design.
What do you get with 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 and building regulations checks under Welsh rules
- Roof removal and new mansard frame
- Slate cladding and lead-clad dormers
How much should I budget for a mansard loft conversion?

Planning and building rules in Maesteg
Planning decisions in Wales are made by the local council, using permitted development rules set by the Welsh Government rather than England’s. Building regulations in Wales have their own approved documents, and the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies to work on shared walls and boundaries.
This needs full planning permission from your council in Wales.
What can affect a mansard loft conversion?
- A mansard nearly always involves party walls on both sides of a terrace.
- The roof is open for longer than with a dormer, so weather protection matters.
What are the steps?
- Tell us about the project. Call, use the guide price tool or send the form with a few photos and a postcode.
- Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
- Design and fixed price. You get drawings and a written price for the agreed specification before anything is ordered.
- We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.
Mansard loft conversions: common questions
Does a mansard need planning permission?
Almost always, because it changes the roof profile.
Will I need party wall agreements?
Very likely, as the work affects the walls shared with both neighbours on a terrace.
Who deals with the council for a project in Maesteg?
We do. We prepare the drawings, submit planning or permitted development paperwork if needed, and arrange building control inspections.
