Mansard Loft Conversions: Maximise Loft Space with a Stylish, Spacious Design

Mansard loft conversions are the ultimate solution for homeowners looking to significantly expand their living space. This conversion involves altering one or more sides of your roof to create steeply sloped walls (typically at a 70-degree angle), transforming your loft into a square or rectangular room with increased height and usability.

Mansard conversions are especially popular in built-up areas of London, Hertfordshire, and Essex, where internal space is at a premium. With more headroom, minimal sloped ceilings, and easy integration for full staircases, this type of loft conversion offers unmatched flexibility for layout and design, perfect for master suites, home offices, or multiple rooms.

• Maximum usable floor space
• Spacious, square-shaped rooms
• Easier to furnish and decorate
• Multiple vertical (or near-vertical) walls
• Ideal for full staircases and multiple-room layouts
• Less awkward ceiling angles and wasted space

• Planning permission is required for all Mansard conversions
• Higher cost than Velux, Dormer, or Hip to Gable options
• Longer construction time due to extensive roof alterations
• Potential planning restrictions on front-facing roof changes

Want even more space? A double Mansard loft conversion opens up both sides of your roof, creating a dramatic increase in interior room. However, front-facing Mansards may be restricted in some conservation areas or by local planning rules, so always check before starting your project.
