Hip To Gable

Most end of terraces, semi-detached and detached houses have traditionally been built with a ‘Hipped’ style roof (see photo below). This is where the roof slopes in at the side and will restrict the loft space. By changing the roof slope from a hip to gable end, see photo, where the wall is built up vertically, we are able to extend the roof across to its full width and with the addition of a rear dormer the loft space is fully extended.
