What is 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.

Do you need permission for a mansard loft conversion in Perth and Kinross?
Scottish projects follow a different process from England: the council issues a building warrant before work starts and accepts a completion certificate at the end, alongside any planning permission needed. We prepare both applications.
This needs planning permission and a building warrant from your council in Scotland before work starts.
