The borough-level guide to mansard roof extensions in Merton sets out how the same work is handled across the rest of the authority.
Wimbledon Village is Georgian and Victorian village conservation. The dominant stock — georgian and victorian villas — has specific constraints and opportunities for mansard roof extensions. Side returns sit better on bay-fronted Victorian terraces than on detached 1930s semis. Mansards work where the existing roofscape supports them. We design to the block, not the brochure.
