What is a hip to gable
loft conversion?
This type of loft conversion, like dormer conversions, uses the space you already have and extends it upwards to create more room. It will usually be very sympathetic to the building’s design, as a sloping roof’s side or rear section 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, which is perfect for creating multiple rooms or an en suite bedroom.
Why might you choose a
hipped roof loft conversion?
Here are some cases where we would advise a hip-to-gable-style conversion.
You live in an end-of-terrace property
This type of conversion isn’t generally suitable for terraced homes other than an end-of-terrace. It could also be suitable for bungalows.
You want a conversion with a good ceiling height
Where the sloping roof is replaced with full-height walls, you will have plenty of headroom with higher ceilings.
You want as much room as possible
In this case, we might advise you to connect your hip to gable conversion with a dormer to create more space.
You want the building work to blend in
We will use matching roofing materials, and the loft conversion construction will be aesthetically pleasing.

HOW MUCH DOES A
hipped roof extension cost?
A hip to gable conversion works similarly to a dormer conversion but is generally used for an end-of-terrace property (or perhaps a bungalow or chalet). It is a great way to convert your loft space, as it will blend in very well with the existing building and structure. A hip to gable loft conversion will generally cost around £55,000-£60,000 when complete. This is dependent on size, location and finish.
