Homes in Lanarkshire
In Scotland many families extend bungalows and semis, while tenement flats bring shared ownership of roofs and walls that needs agreeing early.
What do you get with 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
- En-suite, electrics and fire safety
What will a mansard loft conversion cost?
Typical ranges for mansard loft conversions. Ground conditions, access and specification move the final figure, which we fix in writing before work starts.
| Mansard loft conversions | Guide price incl. VAT |
|---|---|
| Rear mansard | £65,000 to £85,000 |
| Front and rear (double) mansard | £80,000 to £110,000 |
What approvals does a mansard loft conversion need in Scotland?
Scottish projects follow a different process from England: the council issues a building warrant before work starts and accepts a completion certificate at the end, alongside any planning permission needed. We prepare both applications.
This needs planning permission and a building warrant from your council in Scotland before work starts.
What should I think about before starting?
- Council design guides often require natural slate and lead.
- Scaffolding and a temporary roof are usually needed.
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.
- Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
