Loft Conversion: Mansard

Expanding into your roof with a mansard loft not only gives you an extra room (or two, or three), it increases your property’s value and — crucially — does so in a visually striking way. Seen those Instagram influencers’ beautiful attics? You can achieve that chic look too.

Mansard loft conversion: key fact

This is one way of increasing usable space in your house amongst many others, so it’s worth thinking about the finer details, to be sure you choose the best option. Get to know more about this type with our guide. You can expect:

Attractive end result
Sizeable space added
Suitable for all properties: terraced/semi-detached/detached
Mid-price point compared to other styles
Considerable amount of construction work
Typically requires planning permission/building regulations approval
Usually built at rear
Flat roof and sloping, almost straight wall (72 degrees)
Small dormer windows
Juliet balconies possible

What could you use it for? There are lots of possibilities, including:

Bedrooms: most popular choice, consider if you’d prefer one large one with a walk-in wardrobe, en-suite bathroom etc, or two smaller ones
Office: work from home in style with a dedicated room away from living areas, helping to differentiate between family time and work mode
Nursery: baby’s own haven with plenty of opportunity to grow into
Bathroom: especially important when adding sleeping sanctuaries at the top of the house, choose from a WC only, shower cubicle, or full tub

Mansard loft conversion: cost

Starting at £40,000

The question of price is an important one, of course. It can be useful to compare it to other options, so you know what will work best for you. This variety will typically cost less than a hip-to-gable or L-shaped dormer, but more than a Velux or standard dormer project. So it sits in the middle of the range.

The final amount you pay will be determined by many factors, including:

Size
Design
Windows
Finish

It’s vital to align your budget with your expectations, and that’s where the pros come in. We can explain where to save money, what you don’t want to scrimp on, and how to maximise the potential of your roof space to balance cost with quality.
