Strength of double Mansard loft conversions

Question

Are double Mansard loft conversions structurally strong? And are they durable or high maintenance?

Lee · Accepted Answer

These types of loft conversations are structurally sound and strong in constructive methods and do stand up to the test of time if they are constructed correctly using large size structural timbers with normal spacing centres it would be advised to have a structural engineer design and calculation report or if you have experience in these types of construction you would have good knowledge of construction 
as to the maintenance it would  a very low maintenance as this type of loft forms part of the structure of the building and roof structure normally covered with roof tiles and lead so it’s life span would be very high and low maintenance
