Celebrating 25 years of loft conversions & extensions in South London
If you have semi detached or end of a terrace property and the side roof is pitched, you will probably require a Hip to Gable conversion. This is done by extending the ridge of the roof to the side of the property, and building a new gable end, plus removing the rear roof and extending a dormer to the rear.
In the dormer we would normally suggest you add in windows or large French doors with a Juliette balcony, which can sometimes give some great views at the rear. We’ll combine our expertise with your ideas to work with you and get the design how you want it and to suit your budget.

The Hip to Gable conversions are a popular choice for semi detached and some end of terrace properties as it creates the most space possible for your conversion. It extends the sloping side roof sideways and adds a larger rear dormer extension. Additions can be French doors, gable windows, roof skylights to enhance the whole feel of the conversion.
Most projects would probably have one large bedroom and a shower room, but two bedrooms are a very common choice too, particularly for children’s bedrooms. We have many examples of this type of conversion, which should be expected after 25 years of fitting loft conversions! You can see some of our hundreds of glowing testimonials here.
End of terrace conversions have a maximum 40 cubic metres permitted development allowance to work with and semi detached properties get 50 cubic meters volume allowance
The drawings shown here are of an end of terrace hip to gable L-shape rear dormer conversion.
You will see that the dormer at the rear is not extending very far along the rear addition roof, as the 40 cubic meters volume allowance has been reached.
