Covering Old Trafford
Our coverage around Old Trafford (M16, M32) also includes Stretford (1 miles to the south-west) and Salford.
Homes in the North West
Across the North West, Victorian terraces, inter-war semis and modern estates all feature, and brick or stone matching is chosen to suit each street.
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.
- Roof removal and new mansard frame
- Slate cladding and lead-clad dormers
- Staircase, insulation and fit-out
What is the guide price for a mansard loft conversion in Old Trafford?
Indicative costs for mansard loft conversions. London and the South East usually sit towards the top of each range.
| Mansard loft conversions | Guide price incl. VAT |
|---|---|
| Rear mansard | £65,000 to £85,000 |
| Front and rear (double) mansard | £80,000 to £110,000 |
How is a mansard loft conversion approved in Old Trafford?
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 can change the price or programme?
- 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.
