Homes in the South East
The South East has a lot of 1930s and post-war semi-detached housing, well suited to rear extensions and hip-to-gable loft conversions, alongside period properties in conservation areas that need a more careful design.
What is included in a mansard loft conversion in Witney?
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 and building rules in Witney
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 should I think about before starting?
- 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?
- 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.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
