Homes in the West Midlands
The West Midlands has a large stock of 1930s semis and Victorian terraces in red brick, so matching brick and roof tiles is often the key to an extension that looks original.
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.
- Structural design and party wall process
- Slate cladding and lead-clad dormers
- En-suite, electrics and fire safety
What will a mansard loft conversion cost?
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 |

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.
What should Market Drayton homeowners check first?
- Council design guides often require natural slate and lead.
- Scaffolding and a temporary roof are usually needed.
How does the project run?
- 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.
- 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.
