Covering Newtown
Our coverage around Newtown (SY16) also includes Welshpool, Llandrindod Wells and Builth Wells.
Because Powys covers a wide area, we confirm availability after the first call and include any travel costs in the written quote rather than adding them later.
Homes in Powys
Housing in Wales ranges from terraced streets in the valleys and older industrial towns to stone-built homes in rural areas and modern estates around the cities.
What do you get with a mansard loft conversion?
A mansard loft conversion replaces one or both slopes of a roof with a near-vertical wall, typically at 70 degrees, with small dormer windows set into it. It creates almost a full extra storey and is common on terraced houses in towns and cities, particularly in London.
- Structural design and party wall process
- Roof removal and new mansard frame

What is the guide price for a mansard loft conversion in Newtown?
Typical ranges for mansard loft conversions. Ground conditions, access and specification move the final figure, which we fix in writing before work starts.
| Mansard loft conversions | Guide price incl. VAT |
|---|---|
| Rear mansard | £65,000 to £85,000 |
| Front and rear (double) mansard | £80,000 to £110,000 |
What approvals does a mansard loft conversion need in Wales?
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. We prepare and submit the application and deal with the planning officer on your behalf.
What should I think about before starting?
- A mansard nearly always involves party walls on both sides of a terrace.
- Council design guides often require natural slate and lead.
How does the project run?
- 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.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
