What is included in a hip-to-gable loft conversion in Tonypandy?
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.
- Extended ridge and roof structure
- Rear dormer and roof coverings to match
- En-suite and fire-protected escape route

Do you need permission for a hip-to-gable loft conversion in Tonypandy?
In Wales the planning rules, including what counts as permitted development, are set by the Welsh Government, and Welsh building regulations differ in places from England’s. We check both against your house before drawings are finalised, and handle party wall notices where needed.
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 should I think about before starting?
- Matching old clay tiles can be difficult; reclaimed tiles are often used.
- The new gable is usually rendered or built in matching brick.
