What is included in a mansard loft conversion in Pontypool?
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
- Slate cladding and lead-clad dormers
- Staircase, insulation and fit-out

This needs full planning permission from your council in Wales.
What can change the price or programme?
