What is a Hip to Gable Loft Conversion?
A hip-to-gable loft conversion involves extending the roof along its sloping side, known as the hip. In this process, the sloping hip is transformed into a vertical wall, creating what is called a gable. This extension starts from the existing ridge of the roof and fills in the gap created by the change in structure.
By converting the hip into a gable, you effectively create additional usable space within your roof, allowing for the possibility of a loft conversion. This type of conversion not only maximises available space but can also enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of your home. Additionally, it often provides an opportunity for the installation of dormer windows, further increasing natural light and ventilation in the newly created area.
After completing the Hip to Gable transformation, which effectively maximises the space within your loft area, you have various options to enhance your new room further. One popular choice is adding a dormer conversion, which not only increases the available space but also provides additional headroom and enhances the overall aesthetic of the loft.
Alternatively, you might consider installing Velux rooflight windows. These innovative windows not only flood your newly created room with natural light but also create a sense of openness and connection to the outdoors. With both options, you can transform your loft into a comfortable and inviting space that beautifully complements the rest of your home.
Our process begins with a detailed consultation to assess your space and understand your needs. We guide you through every step, from design and planning to construction, ensuring that the conversion is completed to the highest standards and in accordance with local regulations.

By converting your loft into a practical area whether it’s a bedroom, a productive home office, or a multipurpose living area you can greatly increase your home’s functionality without incurring the high costs typical of traditional home extensions.
Cost Effective
Loft conversions offer a significantly more cost-effective solution compared to traditional home extensions. By utilising the existing space within your roof, you can expand your living area without the need for substantial building work that comes with extending outwards.
Fast Installation
Well-planned hip-to-gable loft conversions can typically be completed within just eight weeks, significantly reducing any disruption to your daily life. These conversions not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of your home but also provide valuable additional space.
Increased living space
A loft conversion takes advantage of underutilised space in your home, transforming it into an additional living area that can serve various purposes. By optimising this often-neglected area of your home, you can enhance your living environment and increase property value.
Increase Property Value
By expanding usable space, a hip to gable loft conversion can increase your property’s value. On average, studies suggest that a loft conversion can elevate your home’s value by as much as 25%.
Planning Permission
Adding a loft conversion to your property is normally classified as ‘permitted development.’ This means that you often won’t need to obtain planning permission to proceed with the construction. If planning permissions are required, we can manage the entire process.
Enhanced natural light
Incorporating natural light significantly enhances the perception of space, making any area feel more expansive and inviting. We harness the beauty and functionality of Velux roof windows and large windows to achieve stunning results.
Loft conversions can vary significantly in design and scope; the specific type of conversion will depend on factors such as the architecture of your property, the available headroom, and your budgetary considerations.
