Across Northern Ireland you find city terraces, suburban semis and rural bungalows and farmhouses, so the right approach depends on the plot and the planning history.
What goes into a mansard loft conversion?
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.
- Slate cladding and lead-clad dormers
- Staircase, insulation and fit-out
- En-suite, electrics and fire safety
What will a mansard loft conversion cost?

What approvals does a mansard loft conversion need in Northern Ireland?
Northern Ireland projects need planning clearance and building control approval from the local council. We prepare the applications and agree any work near neighbouring property directly with the neighbours.
This needs full planning permission from the council in Northern Ireland, plus building control approval.
What should Portadown homeowners check first?
- The roof is open for longer than with a dormer, so weather protection matters.
- Council design guides often require natural slate and lead.
