Things to consider
If you’re looking for a Hip to Gable and Rear Dormer Loft conversion in Hertfordshire there are several factors you need to consider if you are thinking of choosing a hip to gable loft extension. Check the height of your loft at the moment. If the current head height is too low, less than 2.3 metres, it will not be allowed under current building regulations. You should consider how you will access your new living space. The best option is a full staircase but this will need to be checked to make sure that there is the space available for the staircase to be positioned in a way that will make the most of the loft area and the floor below. An architect needs to ensure that there is enough space to position it in a way that will make the most of the loft and the floor below. Before you start you will need to decide what you are going to use your new living space for. Whether it be a master bedroom with en suite, an office or a gym area.
