Hip to Gable Loft Conversion: The What, Why, and How

Hip Roof vs. Gable Roof

A hip roof resembles a pyramid with its four sloping sides. In contrast, a gable roof is like a triangle with two sloping sides. The conversion process involves transforming the former into the latter, giving your home a fresh profile and significantly more room upstairs.

Pros:

• Space Galore: One of the most compelling reasons homeownersopt for this conversion is the substantial extra room it unlocks.
• Boosted Property Value: A well-executed conversion can significantly enhance your home's market appeal.
• Versatility: From bedrooms to home gyms, the possibilities are endless

Cons:

• Investment: While it promises returns, the initial outlay can be substantial.
• Time: Depending on the complexity, it can take weeks to months.
• Not Universal: Some houses, due to their structure or location, might not be suitable.

Deep Dive into Planning Permissions

Understanding permissions is crucial. While many conversions, especially in the regions of Sutton and Surrey, might not need specific permissions, there are always exceptions.

Permitted Development Rights: Most loft conversions fall under this, but there are size and design limitations.

Conservation Areas: If your property is in a designated conservation area, additional restrictions apply.

Building Regulations: Regardless of planning permissions, all conversions must meet the local building regulations.

STAAC's early involvement ensures a hassle-free approval process. Our team liaises with the Local Council Authority, ensuring every checkbox is ticked.
