Mansard
A mansard loft conversion is the most extensive type, effectively replacing one or both roof slopes with a near-vertical wall and a flat roof on top. This creates the maximum possible living space and is popular on terraced properties in urban areas. Because it significantly alters the roofline, a mansard conversion almost always requires planning permission, but the result is a full-height room with excellent proportions.
Why Choose Mansard?
- Creates the maximum possible living space from your loft
- Near-vertical walls give full-height usable space across the room
- Ideal for terraced houses where other conversion types are limited
- Can accommodate en-suite bathrooms, walk-in wardrobes, and more
- Adds the most property value of any conversion type
