Hip to Gable Conversion Experiences?

[Alexis]

I'm considering a hip to gable loft conversion for my semi-detached house to add more space. Has anyone here undergone this process? Any advice or resources would be appreciated.

A hip to gable loft conversion can dramatically increase the usable space in your home, making it a popular choice for many homeowners. The process involves extending the sloping "hip" roof out to create a vertical "gable" wall, maximizing the loft area. It's a significant modification that requires careful planning and understanding of the structural implications.
