MANSARD LOFT CONVERSIONS
What is a Mansard Loft Conversion?
A Mansard Loft Conversion is a type of loft extension that transforms your existing sloped roof into a nearly vertical wall (typically at a 70-80 degree angle) with a flat roof on top. This creates a spacious and versatile living area, perfect for adding an extra bedroom, home office, or even a luxurious master suite.
Mansard conversions are particularly popular in urban areas, as they maximise the available loft space while maintaining an elegant external appearance that blends seamlessly with period and modern properties alike.
Why Choose a Mansard Loft Conversion?
Maximum Space – Mansard conversions provide the most internal headroom and floor space compared to other loft conversion types, making them ideal for homeowners looking for significant extra living space.
Aesthetic Appeal – The design of a Mansard loft conversion enhances the visual appeal of your property, especially in period homes where they blend beautifully with the existing architecture.
Increases Property Value – Adding a Mansard conversion can significantly boost your home’s market value, making it a wise long-term investment.
Versatile Design Options – Whether you want an extra bedroom, a home office, or a loft-style apartment, the spacious interior allows for flexible design and customisation.
More Natural Light – With the option to include dormer windows, skylights, or Juliet balconies, a Mansard conversion can flood your new space with natural light, creating a bright and airy environment.
Is a Mansard Conversion Right for You?
If you have a terraced, semi-detached, or detached home and want to maximise your loft space, a Mansard conversion could be the perfect choice. It is especially well-suited to properties in London and other urban areas, where planning regulations often favour this type of loft extension.
Do You Need Planning Permission for a Mansard Conversion?
Unlike some other loft conversion types, Mansard loft conversions usually require planning permission because they involve significant structural changes to the roof. Our expert team will guide you through the planning application process to ensure a smooth and hassle-free experience.
