Mansard Conversions in Woodford Green
An affluent suburban area with many large inter-war houses well suited to loft conversions and extensions. Woodford Green has many large interwar houses, including semis and detached homes, on the edge of Epping Forest.
On an interwar house a mansard gives the most space but changes the roof shape more than a dormer, so a planning application is normally involved. Interwar semis and detached houses frequently have hipped roofs and reasonable ridge heights, which gives a surveyor more design options than a typical modern roof. We offer a free survey and a clear written quote from the start.
