Hip-to-Gable
A hip-to-gable conversion extends the sloping (hipped) side of your roof outwards to create a vertical gable wall, dramatically increasing the usable loft space. This type is ideal for detached and semi-detached properties with hipped roofs where a standard dormer alone would not provide enough room. Often combined with a rear dormer for maximum space.
Why Choose Hip-to-Gable?
- Dramatically increases usable loft space on hipped-roof properties
- Often combined with a rear dormer for the largest possible room
- Can add a full extra storey to your home
- Usually falls under permitted development for most properties
- Excellent return on investment — adds significant property value
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a hip-to-gable conversion suitable for my semi-detached house?
Hip-to-gable conversions are very popular on semi-detached houses with a hipped roof on the non-party-wall side. The hipped section is extended to a gable, then typically combined with a rear dormer. We assess suitability during a free site survey.
