What is a hip-to-gable loft conversion?

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.

What approvals does a hip-to-gable loft conversion need in Northern Ireland?

Northern Ireland projects need planning clearance and building control approval from the local council. We prepare the applications and agree any work near neighbouring property directly with the neighbours.

In Northern Ireland, roof enlargements such as dormers often need planning permission depending on size and position. Building control approval is needed for every loft conversion.

What can affect a hip-to-gable loft conversion?

Matching old clay tiles can be difficult; reclaimed tiles are often used.
Scaffolding goes up on the side of the house, which may need a neighbour’s agreement.
