A hip to gable loft conversion is a very popular way to create extra room in a property. Before creating a loft extension on your home there is a number of factors you will need to look into. Take a look at what hip to gable loft conversions are, their limitations you might need to know and how to calculate the size of them.
Many properties have a sloped regular side roof which usually means existing loft space is very small due to the angles of the slope. This is where a hip to gable loft conversion can increase your loft space for your own convenience.
A hip to gable loft conversion extends your property or one or both sloping sides called a “double hip to gable loft conversion” replacing the slope with a vertical wall called “the gable”.
Whether your property is detached or semi-detached then this is the sort of loft conversion which would suit you, a hip to gable loft conversion is also suitable for bungalows. Having this type of extension on a bungalow is most desirable, however, you should make sure it is suitable as a lot of structures cannot take the weight-bearing from a large extension which is the size of the main property.
Your property must have a hip-end roof which is not available on a terraced property and the original loft height must be there originally otherwise a hip to gable loft conversion will not be cost-effective.
