HIP TO GABLE REAR DORMER
A Hip to Gable loft conversion is ideal for semi-detached homes with a hipped roof. By extending the sloped side of the roof vertically to form a gable wall, we create significantly more internal space. This structural change allows for a full-width Rear Dormer at the back, unlocking maximum floor area and improved headroom. It’s one of the most popular and effective ways to transform unused loft space into a bright, spacious new room.
Types of Extensions We Offer
Below is a selection of some of the most common and effective house extension types we deliver, each tailored to different sites, briefs and lifestyle needs
REAR EXTENSION
A rear extension projects from the back of your home to create additional space for living, dining or kitchen areas. These are ideal for homeowners looking to unlock more floor area without changing the main street-facing façade, often integrating large glazed doors or rooflights to bring light into the space.
Most popular for:
-
Open-plan kitchen-diner expansions
-
Family living room extensions
SIDE EXTENSION
A side extension expands your home into the unused space alongside the property, creating additional internal floor area while maintaining the existing layout. This type of extension is common for semi-detached and detached houses where side access or garden space allows for outward expansion.
Most popular for:
-
Widening kitchens and living spaces
-
Creating utility rooms or home offices
-
Improving ground floor layouts
SIDE RETURN EXTENSION
Side return extensions, also called side infill, make the most of unused narrow spaces alongside your home, especially common in terraced properties. By extending into this often overlooked area, you can dramatically improve internal flow and open up space for kitchen expansions, dining zones or utility areas, without reducing your garden footprint.
Most popular for:
-
Kitchen expansions
-
Open plan living areas
WRAP-AROUND EXTENSION
A wrap-around extension combines both rear and side return elements into one seamless build, creating flexible living space that flows with natural light and connection to the garden. This type of extension often delivers the most comprehensive transformation for families wanting generous ground-floor space.
Most popular for:
-
Large open plan ground floors
-
Seamless indoor-outdoor living
DOUBLE-STOREY EXTENSION
For homeowners requiring substantial additional space, a double-storey extension dramatically increases property size. This solution is excellent for adding bedrooms and bathrooms above an extended living space, maximising square footage without relocating.
Most popular for:
-
Additional bedrooms with an ensuite
-
Larger family homes
SIDE + REAR EXTENSION
A side and rear extension combines two separate additions to expand both the side and back of the property. Unlike a wrap-around extension, the existing corner of the house remains, creating two connected but distinct spaces that increase floor area while retaining parts of the original structure.
Most popular for:
-
Expanding kitchens and dining areas
-
Creating additional living or utility spaces
-
Increasing ground floor space without a full structural opening
