HIP-TO-GABLE LOFT CONVERSION COST ESSEX
A hip to gable loft conversion is where the existing shape of the roof is changed. The top line of the roof is extended so that it runs all the way to the edge of the house.
The end result is that instead of having a sloping roof on the side of the house, there will now be a vertical gable that can either be made of brick or tile.
This creates a lot of extra space. It only works in a semi-detached or detached property with a sloping roof. With a detached home, you can convert both sides to create a double hip-to-gable conversion.

In most cases, dormer windows will also be added. This will give the most space but will also be the most expensive option.
