A hip to gable loft conversion is generally used for an end-of-terrace house where the sloping roof will be straightened out to create a vertical wall. This allows you to gain a spacious loft conversion that has good ceiling height, perfect for adding extra rooms to your home and maximising your space in this type of property. You generally won’t require planning permission, so we can get to work straight away.

This type of loft conversion is built on the same principles as a dormer conversion, using the space you already have and extending it upwards to create more room. It will usually be very sympathetic to the building’s design as the side or rear section of a sloping roof will simply be removed and changed into a gable end. This gives you full-height headroom in this area, and it is also possible to link it with a flat roof dormer to maximise your space even further. You will have plenty of floor space in this type of conversion, perfect for creating multiple rooms or perhaps an en suite bedroom.
These are some of the main reasons why you might select a dormer loft conversion:
This type of conversion isn’t generally suitable for terraced homes. It might also be suitable for bungalows.
Where the sloping roof is replaced with walls you will have plenty of headroom with higher ceilings.
In this case, we might advise you to connect your hip to gable conversion with a dormer to create more space.
We will use matching roofing materials and the construction of the loft conversion will be aesthetically pleasing.

You generally won’t require planning permission for this type of loft conversion, but it is always best to make sure the work you have in mind falls within your permitted development rights.
