Loft conversion- hip to gable and rear flat roof dormer
If your existing roof is a hip blade roof, that is the roof is hipped as appose to gabled, the here is a typical Loft Conversion with the hip converted to a gable. There is also the addition of a rear flat roof dormer which is tile hung. This is a typical semi-detached house of which there is an abundance in Britain.
The first image shows the formation of the new gable and you see immediately the formation of a new room and the soace you are gaining above your roof to which previously, the wind owned.
The second image shows the formation of the rear dormer.
This again shows the formation of the Loft Conversion and the fact that this room is stealing sky.
A Loft Conversion that involves roof alterations is making your new space considerably bigger, and your not paying for the land, its free airspace over your property. You can build on it for free.
That’s why Loft Conversions provide the greatest return on money spent on your home, an extension will cost more and you will lose garden space. you lose nothing when you build a Loft.
The image on the left shows the dormer with the tiles on and it really begins to take shape.
The conversion can add up to 50 cubic metres of space to your new room. A typical hipped roof is very small but this type of conversion will create a room that is about 6metres square and has ample room for an en-suite.
The image shows two apertures, one for the en-suite window, and in this case a large aperture for a juliet balcony, with side windows.
The term flat roof normally concerns people but let me enlighten you here.
Firstly the roof is not flat, it has a fall and, that there are flat roofs and there are our flat roofs.
We only use the best materials and the best trained tradesmen. We use a vapour barrier and three layers to form a covering that will easily last 10 years and thats why we gaurantee them for 10 years.
