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.
- Planning and building regulations checks under Welsh rules
- Roof removal and new mansard frame
- Slate cladding and lead-clad dormers

Planning and building rules in Pwllheli
Welsh projects need planning clearance from the council under Welsh rules, building regulations approval under the Welsh approved documents, and party wall notices where the work affects a neighbour’s wall or foundations.
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 Pwllheli 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.
How does the project run?
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
- Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
- Design and fixed price. You get drawings and a written price for the agreed specification before anything is ordered.
- We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.
What people ask before starting
Why choose a mansard over a dormer?
A mansard gives more usable space and often fits a street better where neighbours already have one.
Will I need party wall agreements?
Very likely, as the work affects the walls shared with both neighbours on a terrace.
Can you visit a house in Pwllheli to quote?
Yes. After a short call we arrange a site visit to measure up and agree what the design needs to do, then send a written price.
