Hip To Gable Conversion
A Property that has 3 sloping sides, typically of the Edwardian era is called a ‘Hipped’ roof. These roofs have a lower vertical projection and as a result have a limited amount of loft space available for conversion. To resolve this we will extend your ‘hipped’ end/s up to create a Gable (the triangular space where the end brickwork meets the roof line for normal pitched roofs). This will give you the same Cubic meters space as any local mid-terrace neighbors, which is fully permitted under the planning regulations. Once this conversion form a hip to a gable roofline is completed a much larger internal space is available for you to choose a Velux, dormer or Mansard conversion. Though this involves additional works this type of conversion is very popular as an economic alternative to ground floor extensions or moving properties.
