Our team is dedicated to helping homeowners unlock the full potential of their properties through expertly designed and executed loft conversions.

What is a Hip-to-Gable Loft Conversion?

A hip-to-gable loft conversion is a structural alteration that involves extending the sloping side of a roof (the “hip”) to create a vertical wall (the “gable”). This extension increases the available floor space and headroom in your loft, making it suitable for conversion into a fully functional room, whether that’s a new bedroom, home office, or additional living area.

This type of conversion is particularly well-suited for semi-detached or detached homes with a hipped roof, which naturally limits the loft space due to the sloping sides. By extending the hipped roof into a gable, you can dramatically increase the usable area in your loft, giving you more design flexibility and room to work with.

How Does a Hip-to-Gable Loft Conversion Work?

The process of a hip-to-gable conversion involves several key steps:

• Planning & Design: After an initial consultation and no-obligation quote, our team works with you to plan the layout and design of your new loft space.
• Structural Changes: We extend the roof by building up the existing hip to form a gable end, which creates additional internal space.
• Window Installation: Dormer windows or Velux windows can be added to the new roof structure to flood the space with natural light.
• Internal Fit-Out: Once the structural work is complete, we’ll fit out the interior of your loft conversion, creating a finished space ready for you to use.

Why Choose a Hip-to-Gable Loft Conversion?

• Maximises Space: A hip-to-gable conversion can significantly increase the usable floor area and headroom, allowing you to make the most of your loft space.
• Great for Hipped Roofs: Homes with hipped roofs often have smaller lofts, making this type of conversion one of the best ways to expand and open up the space.
• Increased Property Value: Adding a hip-to-gable loft conversion not only gives you extra living space but can also increase the market value of your home.
• Design Flexibility: The additional space allows for more creative freedom in how you design and use the loft, whether as a master bedroom, home office, or guest suite.
