Homes in the South West

The South West mixes stone and render cottages, Victorian terraces in the larger towns and modern estates, and many historic centres are conservation areas where materials and roof shapes are closely controlled.

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 and building rules in Yeovil

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.

What can change the price or programme?

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.
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.

Mansard loft conversions: common questions

How much does a mansard loft conversion cost?

Typically £65,000 to £110,000 including VAT, depending on whether one or both roof slopes are rebuilt.

Why choose a mansard over a dormer?

A mansard gives more usable space and often fits a street better where neighbours already have one.

Can you visit a house in Yeovil to quote?

Yes. After a short call we arrange a site visit to measure up and agree what the design needs to do, then send a written price.
