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.
- Rear dormer and roof coverings to match
- Staircase, insulation, plastering and electrics
- En-suite and fire-protected escape route
