Covering Warwick
Warwick sits 17 miles south of Nuneaton, with Leamington Spa 3 miles to the east and Kenilworth 5 miles to the north.
Homes in the West Midlands
Red-brick terraces and inter-war semis make up much of the housing in the West Midlands, which suits rear extensions, dormer lofts and hip-to-gable conversions, with more modern estates on the edges of the towns.
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 application to local design guidance
- Roof removal and new mansard frame
- En-suite, electrics and fire safety
What is the guide price for a mansard loft conversion in Warwick?
Typical ranges for mansard loft conversions. Ground conditions, access and specification move the final figure, which we fix in writing before work starts.

| Front and rear (double) mansard | £80,000 to £110,000 |
What approvals does a mansard loft conversion need in England?
English projects need planning clearance from the local council, building regulations sign-off from building control, and party wall notices where the work is on or near a shared boundary. We prepare and manage all three.
Mansard conversions change the shape of the roof significantly, so they usually need planning permission in England. Many councils publish guidance on mansard design.
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.
What happens after I enquire?
- 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.
- Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
Mansard loft conversions: common questions
Does a mansard need planning permission?
Almost always, because it changes the roof profile.
Why choose a mansard over a dormer?
A mansard gives more usable space and often fits a street better where neighbours already have one.
