Homes in West Glamorgan
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 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 and building regulations checks under Welsh rules
- Structural design and party wall process
- En-suite, electrics and fire safety

What approvals does a mansard loft conversion need in Wales?
Welsh projects need planning clearance from the council under Welsh rules, building regulations approval under the Welsh approved documents, and party wall notices where the work affects a neighbour’s wall or foundations.
This needs full planning permission from your council in Wales.
What should I think about before starting?
- A mansard nearly always involves party walls on both sides of a terrace.

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.
- 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.
- We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.
What people ask before starting
Does a mansard need planning permission?
Almost always, because it changes the roof profile.
Why choose a mansard over a dormer?
A mansard gives more usable space and often fits a street better where neighbours already have one.
Can you visit a house in Neath to quote?
Yes. After a short call we arrange a site visit to measure up and agree what the design needs to do, then send a written price.
