Hip-to-gable and l-shaped hip-to-gable loft conversion

The majority of houses that are hip roofed in style tend to have a reasonably small internal volume, so for a conversion to be practical, a hip-to-gable conversion is a smart solution. This type of conversion involves changing the sloping side of the property to a flat gable end. This increases the size of the loft space, often creating extra space for the staircase. As this type of loft conversion changes the outline of the roof, planning permissions may well be required. We also specialize in l-shaped hip-to-gable loft conversions.

Nuspace loft conversion steps:

Introduction:

When we meet with you at your property, we will discuss your loft conversion options and/or home improvement requirements.

Suitability:

We will identify whether your loft is suitable to convert and, if so, will carry out an initial survey and discuss the next steps.

Loft conversion process:

We will prepare a quotation for you to review and upon acceptance, will arrange a meeting with our Architect and determine the best loft design based on the property and your needs. The next step is to apply (where necessary) for Planning Permission, Party Wall Agreements and Building Control. At nuspace we coordinate all the information required and once in place, will agree a date to commence your works. We will book a Prestart Meeting to introduce you to your Foreman and Project Manager, and schedule the scaffolding to be erected. Once done, materials will be ordered and the works started. Your office-based Project Manager will visit your project every week/fortnight (depending on the stage of works) and keep you informed on the progress to ensure your loft is built exactly as you are expecting.
