If your loft feels too small to be practical, a hip to gable loft conversion could be the solution.
This loft conversion is a popular choice for London properties, giving a fantastic way to add extra space without extending outward. Our builders deliver custom conversions made for long-term use and lasting value.
A hip to gable loft conversion is a smart and practical way to add extra living space to properties with a sloped, ‘hipped’ roof.
This loft conversion vertically extends the sloping side of your roof, creating a full-height gable wall and significantly increasing internal headroom and floor space.
Perfect for semi-detached, end-of-terrace and some detached homes, a hip roof loft conversion allows you to make the most of your attic while keeping the design aligned with your property’s existing look.

Here’s why a hip to gable loft conversion could be the perfect choice for your property:
More Space, Better Layouts
By straightening the sloped side of your roof, a hip roof loft conversion gives you a more usable floor plan ideal for larger rooms or en-suite layouts.
Blends with Your Property
This type of loft extension matches the shape and style of your existing roof, making it a visually consistent and attractive upgrade.
Ideal for Side-Extension Potential
If you’re considering a larger L-shaped conversion, a hip to gable extension is often the first step toward that configuration.
Great for Future Flexibility
The additional square footage makes it far easier to adapt the space in the future, whether that’s for a bedroom or a home office.
Adds Real Value to Your Home
Like all quality loft conversions, a hip roof loft conversion significantly increases your home’s resale value and appeal.
Planning-Friendly for Many Properties
While it does involve altering the roofline, many hip to gable loft conversions falls under permitted development rights, especially when designed carefully.
