Hip-to-Gable Loft Conversions Nationwide
Imagine it's Sunday. The last of the light bleeds out of the day. A neighbour's TV hums through the party wall. Your loft is a useless space. Tomorrow, that cost rises. We're the UK-wide Hip-to-Gable Conversion experts. Your loft could be a new bedroom or office. We'll explain your options, your choices, and your costs.
How we fix your hip-to-gable loft
We begin with a structural survey, checking joists, rafters and trusses. We'll remove the existing roof covering if needed. Next, we'll install temporary support to the loft space. We'll start the hip-to-gable conversion by removing the end roof. We then fit the new supporting walls and structure, followed by the new roof. Then we'll waterproof the roof, taking care over the fascia, soffit and bargeboard joints.
