What is a Hip to Gable?

Another popular route for people looking to add space to their home with a loft conversion is the Hip to Gable loft conversion. Let’s take a look at what they are and if they’re suitable for your home.

It’s where a sloping roof is remodelled into a vertical gable wall. In non-builder speak, that means we transform a sloped roof, with cramped space inside, into a more open, spacious area by extending the ridge on your roof vertically. Now your roof goes up, rather than inwards, which is how the extra space is created. Have a look at the picture below to see a Hip to Gable in action.

Why are they popular?

Often the go-to loft conversions for people living in semi-detached houses, Hip to Gable conversions are brilliant for increasing the amount of usable floor space. It can be frustrating to have plenty of floor space but be unable to use it because of how your roof is positioned. By having a hip to gable loft conversion, we can straighten out your sloping ceiling, allowing you to get full use of the room and giving you more headroom too.

On top of that, they look natural – lots of our customers have commented on how their new hip to gable conversions are a seamless addition to their home. They’re not clunky, out of place or unsightly, and can even make your property look more aesthetically appealing than it did before!

As with any loft conversion, you can expect to add a nice amount of value to your property as well. People are always on the lookout for homes with extra space, so it gives you an opportunity to receive a nice ROI should you look to sell in the future.

Will I need planning permission?

Not normally, but it’s always best to check with the local authorities just to be sure – we don’t want you running into any issues further down the line. Once you’ve double-checked and have been given the all clear, we can plan a start date for your hip to gable loft conversion.
