Covering Deeside
We work in Deeside (CH5) and the places around it, including Hawarden, Buckley and Flint.
Homes in Clwyd
Across Wales you find valley terraces, coastal towns, rural stone houses and newer estates, so access, slopes and local materials all feature in the design.
What does a hip-to-gable loft conversion involve?
A hip-to-gable loft conversion rebuilds the sloping side (the hip) of a semi-detached or detached house roof as a vertical gable wall, extending the ridge and creating enough space for a staircase and rooms. It is usually combined with a rear dormer.
- Planning and building regulations checks under Welsh rules
- Rear dormer and roof coverings to match
- Staircase, insulation, plastering and electrics

Planning and building rules in Deeside
Welsh projects need planning clearance from the council under Welsh rules, building regulations approval under the Welsh approved documents, and party wall notices where the work affects a neighbour’s wall or foundations.
Wales has its own loft and roof permitted development rules. Rear dormers within set volume limits are often allowed, but the detail differs from England's, so we confirm the current Welsh limits against your roof before the design is fixed.
What can affect a hip-to-gable loft conversion?
- Matching old clay tiles can be difficult; reclaimed tiles are often used.
- The new gable is usually rendered or built in matching brick.
From first call to completion
- Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
- We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
- Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
