We get asked all the time, ‘what is a hip to gable loft conversion?’ Simply put, a hip to gable loft conversion involves altering a hipped roof by extending one or more sloped sides (the ‘hip’) into a flat gable end.
A hipped roof has all sides sloping downwards to the walls. A gable end only has two sides sloping downwards. A hipped roof loft conversion essentially makes two of the slopes upright, creating extra space in your loft area and providing you with additional headroom and floor space.
Hip to gable conversions are particularly popular for semi-detached and end of terrace houses where there may be limited space for other types of loft conversions. They can significantly increase the usable living space within your property, creating additional bedrooms, home offices, or maybe a new playroom.

A gable roof, also known as a pitched or peaked roof, is one of the most common and easily recognizable roof styles. It has two sloping sides that meet at a ridge, forming a triangular ’A’ shape at each end. The gable ‘ends’ are typically vertical walls, and the roof slopes down from the ridge to the eaves.
A hip roof is a style of roof where all sides slope downward to the walls, with no vertical gable ends. In other words, it doesn’t have the distinctive triangular shape of a gable roof. Instead, a hip roof has sloping surfaces on all four sides – like a pyramid.
