Hip to Gable Loft Conversions

What is a Hip to Gable Loft Conversion?

A hip to gable loft conversion is a popular option for properties with a sloping or "hipped" roof. This type of conversion extends the sloping side of the roof outwards to create a vertical "gable" wall adding significant headroom and usable floor space. Ideal for semi-detached or detached homes, this design maximises the loft area making it suitable for new bedrooms, offices and general living spaces.
