Hip to Gable – Engineering at it’s finest
A hip to gable conversion completely transforms your home. It turns a hipped roof that slopes on all sides into a full gable and new roof structure — giving you the full footprint of your loft and a huge increase in usable space.
With ecoTrus, we remove the old roof and build a brand-new steel-framed system using our patented technology.
In most cases, we also add a rear dormer, making the loft feel like a full extra floor.
We start by carefully stripping back your old roof.
Within a couple of days, we lay the new waterproof floor and you’ll barely notice we’re there — the house below stays clean, dry, and untouched.
We then build up the new gable end, form a new roof to the front, and either tile or clad the dormer to suit your home.
Everything is finished with new fascias, soffits, and rainwater goods, giving you peace of mind that your home now has a completely new lid — engineered to last.
