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 application to local design guidance
  • Roof removal and new mansard frame
  • En-suite, electrics and fire safety

How is a mansard loft conversion approved in Monmouth?

In Wales the planning rules, including what counts as permitted development, are set by the Welsh Government, and Welsh building regulations differ in places from England’s. We check both against your house before drawings are finalised, and handle party wall notices where needed.

This needs full planning permission from your council in Wales. We prepare and submit the application and deal with the planning officer on your behalf.

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.

How does the project run?

  1. Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
  2. Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
  3. Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
  4. Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
