A hip to gable conversion requires major changes to the roof.  This type of Loft Conversion replaces the existing roof hip (the sloping side at the end of the property) with a gable end wall. Generally, houses with hip roofs tend to not have enough internal volume for a conversion to be practical so a hip to gable conversion is the best option.

A hip to gable conversion changes the outline of the roof so planning permission most likely will be required. You will need to verify if the conversion falls within your permitted development allowance. Once the roof has been extended the conversion is typically carried out with a Velux loft and therefore requires suitable headroom to make it practical. It also could be done in conjunction with a Dormer.

Forming a gable wall above the existing side flank wall creates a more natural looking addition to your house and by matching the existing roof tiles it can look as if the property washes never been altered. Hip to gabble conversion will create more space than a standard dormer conversion, potentially housing two new rooms and a bathroom – creating more standing space and space for the staircase to be fitted.
