Homes in London

Terraced houses dominate many London neighbourhoods, so most projects involve shared walls, narrow access and a party wall process. Conservation areas are widespread, and some boroughs have their own mansard and basement guidance.

What is 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.

How is a mansard loft conversion approved in Tottenham?

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?

The roof is open for longer than with a dormer, so weather protection matters.
Council design guides often require natural slate and lead.

Your questions answered

Very likely, as the work affects the walls shared with both neighbours on a terrace.
