Across the West Midlands, terraced and semi-detached houses in red brick are typical, along with post-war estates where garage conversions and side extensions are popular.

What does a mansard loft conversion involve?

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.

What approvals does a mansard loft conversion need in England?

Projects in England go through two separate checks. Planning (or confirmation that the work is permitted development) comes from the district, borough or unitary council, and building regulations approval comes from the council’s building control team or a registered building control approver. Where work touches a shared wall or digs near a neighbour’s foundations, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies.

Mansard conversions change the shape of the roof significantly, so they usually need planning permission in England.

What can change the price or programme?

The roof is open for longer than with a dormer, so weather protection matters.
Council design guides often require natural slate and lead.
