What is a hip to gable loft conversion?
On semi-detached and detached homes with sloping roofs, which are essentially roofs with a sloped side in addition to the slopes at the front and rear, a hip to gable loft conversion is particularly common.
For homes with a sloping side roof (hipped roof), which means that the side of your roof slopes inwards toward the ridge or chimney, hip to gable dormer loft conversions is an option. By extending the current ridge, a hip-to-gable conversion would alter the roof's shape and provide you a significantly larger loft space.
Benefits of converting a hip roof to a gable roof
The additional room that a hip-to-gable conversion creates is its main benefit. Straightening up a sloping ceiling plainly offers greater headroom and opens up possibilities for larger furniture and more daring floor plans. Hip-to-gable work can also help to expand an existing loft conversion, converting a bedroom into a small office or creating a relaxing retreat.
The fact
that hip to gable loft conversions is covered by allowed development rights is
one of their main advantages. You can utilise these rights to add on to your
home without needing a building permit as long as you adhere to strict planning
permission regulations. However, we do advise obtaining a lawfulness
certificate from planning so that you can hold official proof that your
development is allowed. A complete planning application may be necessary for
some hip to gable loft conversions.
In
principle, any home with a pitched roof and sufficient headroom, whether it be
an end terrace, semi-detached, or detached, can add a hip to gable loft
conversion.
All loft conversions must comply with building requirements. Every loft
conversion must adhere to building code requirements, and Local Authority
Building Control must inspect and approve each stage of the loft conversion's
construction.
