Hip to Gable Lofts Conversions

Expand Your Living Space with a Hip to Gable Lofts Conversion

A Hip to Gable Lofts Conversion is a highly effective way to transform a sloping (hipped) roof into a full vertical gable wall, significantly increasing usable lofts space. This type of conversion is ideal for semi-detached, end-of-terrace, and some detached homes where roof height and structure limit internal space.

By extending the side roof upwards, we create a full-height wall and combine it with a rear dormer (if required) to maximize headroom, floor area, and natural light—turning your unused attic into a fully functional living space.
