Where has the option of a hip-to-gable loft?
This option is available for many types of homes with slanting sides, including:
- Semi-detacheds
- Detacheds
- End-terraces
- Bungalows
- Chalets
In fact, it’s only mid-terraces that aren’t viable for this project.
What does a hip-to-gable loft conversion cost?
- From £45,000
This average cost includes the construction necessary to implement the structural work. That includes such essentials as:
- Plastering
- Plumbing
- Electrical wiring
- Heat sources
The end cost also needs to take into account the following:
- Floors
- Wallpaper/paint
- Suites
- Lights
Choosing standard finishes is the best way to keep prices low. Of course, the size is a major factor too. Two bedrooms, Juliet balcony, dressing area, tailored storage solutions, and a shower room in a luxury high-spec will cost more than a less ambitious alteration.
