What is a Hip to Gable Loft Conversion?
A hip to gable loft conversion involves extending the sloping side of a roof (hip) to create a vertical gable wall. This modification increases the internal loft space and is commonly used on semi-detached or end-of-terrace properties.
Benefits of a Hip to Gable Conversion
Increased Space
Significantly enlarges the loft area, allowing for additional rooms.
Enhanced Property Value
Adds functional space, potentially increasing the property’s market value.
Seamless Integration
Can be combined with rear dormer conversions for maximum space.
Exterior Finish Options
Finishes can include tile or slate hanging, render, or cladding, matched to the existing property to ensure a cohesive appearance.
Planning Permission
If your property has permitted development rights, a hip to gable conversion may not require planning permission. However, it’s essential to verify this with your local planning authority.
