Mansard and l-shaped mansard loft conversion

A mansard loft conversion, named after the 17th-century French Architect Francois Mansard, is situated to the rear of the property. This type of conversion has a flat roof, with the back wall sloping inwards at an angle of 72 degrees. Windows are usually housed within small dormers which extend from the roof to create additional space.

Mansard loft conversions normally require planning permissions, due to the large changes to the roof shape and structure.

In addition, we specialise in l-shaped mansard loft conversions, which can really open up the space and add even more value to your property. The l-shaped mansard loft conversion works particularly well if you are converting the loft into an open-plan bedroom with en-suite.

Nuspace loft conversion steps:

Introduction:

When we meet with you at your property, we will discuss your loft conversion options and/or home improvement requirements.

Suitability:

We will identify whether your loft is suitable to convert and, if so, will carry out an initial survey and discuss the next steps.

Loft conversion process:

We will prepare a quotation for you to review and upon acceptance, will arrange a meeting with our Architect and determine the best loft design based on the property and your needs. The next step is to apply (where necessary) for Planning Permission, Party Wall Agreements and Building Control. At nuspace we coordinate all the information required and once in place, will agree a date to commence your works. We will book a Prestart Meeting to introduce you to your Foreman and Project Manager, and schedule the scaffolding to be erected. Once done, materials will be ordered and the works started. Your office-based Project Manager will visit your project every week/fortnight (depending on the stage of works) and keep you informed on the progress to ensure your loft is built exactly as you are expecting.
