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.
- Roof removal and new mansard frame
- Slate cladding and lead-clad dormers
- Staircase, insulation and fit-out

Do you need permission for a mansard loft conversion in Strabane?
Projects in Northern Ireland need planning clearance from one of the eleven councils and building control approval, also from the council. The Party Wall etc. Act does not extend to Northern Ireland, so work near neighbours is agreed directly and documented carefully.
This needs full planning permission from the council in Northern Ireland, plus building control approval.
What can change the price or programme?
- Council design guides often require natural slate and lead.
- Scaffolding and a temporary roof are usually needed.
