Before & After Exteriors

External Roof Developments - Hip to gable

RELM Interiors Ltd

2 years ago

We have reconstructed this roof from hip to cable to make space for a loft conversion. The internal space will be used as an extra bedroom with en suite bathroom. The external roof is now finished - the space also include a juliet style balcony looking out onto the back garden.

Hi firstly many many years ago certain local authorities would require permission for hip to gables and others wouldn't . I personally took it upon myself to make it a level playing field and ideally make it permitted development (pd) . Many letters ( no emails then ) and phone calls later someone saw the light and they made it pd . Unless the hip directly over looks a highway or your in a conservation area ? to answer your main quirery. besides that I can't see why your loft is not possible and very rarely do we have to take a full bedroom to get the stairs up there. I think I'd have to see the right move listing to get a better feel for you description of different levels . Hard to get a feel but this is one of my last hip to gables. I personally would talk to loft convertors before an architect too. Thanks woody Apex lofts Barnsley "The original roof lift loft conversion company"

I'm not moving or building walls, or knocking through doorways until I'm sure what I want. Living in the house while remodeling it is quite a challenge. There are very differing opinions around what size the bathrooms should be here too. Having only one door in the bedroom has massive advantages where there is no door right next to his side of the bed being a superking, and also having no door there means that any other bed, even a king could be moved to back onto that wall, tv opposite wall etc. As a main bedroom with a double bed, there isn't room for a wardrobe due to the window size, those drawers are all we have, and the rest is in suitcases ...hence my insistence of taking a chunk out of the room next door to accommodate us.... more on shelving and shoes than hanging space though. There only really needs to be a decent shower for my husband in the en-suite and carry out the "three S's" on a morning. Plumbing worries me due to the structure of the house, so I'd like to try to make a common area eg back to back on the loos to help with what will already be a nightmare, however one on the external wall already may be a good thing. I want a good sized bath but not stand alone, I want surface area around it, none of this having to reach behind or to the end or to the floor for the shampoo and perching the soap dish on the side any more. At the moment, I take a little table and place it in the middle of the bathroom floor with candles and the tablet to catch up on shows, as this is really the only time and place I get to do that! The only time I see a shower cubicle is to wash dye out of my hair. Thanks for the sounding board and ideas, good to get opinions... I'll be back with something more refined taking all into account :)

Chimney part render / part brick?
Q

Must admit, I couldn't find any good pics either. However, many chimneys are part rendered, part brick, especially towards the top and I as your building a Bungalow, it would very similar in design to one of those, except you would just have a bit more brick. I think it will look really good.
