Covering Tiverton
We work in Tiverton (EX16) and the places around it, including Exeter, Taunton and Exmouth.
Homes in the South West
Homes in the South West range from coastal and rural properties in stone and slate to city terraces and modern estates, so extensions are designed to match the local materials.
What do you get with 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 application to local design guidance
- Slate cladding and lead-clad dormers

Planning and building rules in Tiverton
In England we deal with the council’s planning team for permission or a lawful development certificate, with building control (the council or a registered building control approver) for inspections, and with neighbours under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 where it applies.
Mansard conversions change the shape of the roof significantly, so they usually need planning permission in England.
What can affect a mansard loft conversion?
- A mansard nearly always involves party walls on both sides of a terrace.
- The roof is open for longer than with a dormer, so weather protection matters.
How does the project run?
- Tell us about the project. Call, use the guide price tool or send the form with a few photos and a postcode.
- 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.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
