Transform Your Space With a Hip to Gable Loft Conversion
A hip to gable loft conversion is a fantastic way to unlock extra living space in homes with a hipped roof. By extending the sloping “hip” side of your roof outwards to form a vertical gable wall, we create a much larger and more practical loft area. At LL Carpentry, we design and build hip to gable loft conversions across Swansea, Neath, Port Talbot and Llanelli, helping homeowners add space, comfort and long-term value to their properties.
What is a Hip to Gable Loft Conversion?
A hip to gable loft conversion is ideal for semi-detached, detached and end-terrace homes with a sloping roof. By converting the sloping end into a straight wall, we significantly increase headroom and floor space.
