It allows you to add height and character to your home, and gives you several options depending on your specific needs. If you’re looking for roof extension ideas, take a look at all the roof extension services we offer below. Alternatively, if you already know what you want, get in touch with a local Refresh Renovations roof extension consultant.
Many modern homes have relatively low pitch hipped roofs which do not leave much room for a loft or storage. Here, Refresh can help you either build a loft extension within the existing roof space, or completely remove the existing roof and replace it with a new first floor, depending on your wants and needs.
A hip roof often has several pitched sides extending down from a ridge at the apex. Hipped roofs are extremely sturdy and reliable, and tend to keep you shaded from the summer heat. Refresh can help you design and build a hipped roof extension. Simply get in touch to get started.
In a gable end roof extension, you add both a new roof as well as a first-floor extension. Here, the pitch is higher and the hips are changed to gable ends which creates a great deal of new floor area upstairs. This extension is also extremely aesthetically pleasing.
Another way to create additional space is by simply reconfiguring your existing roof design. Our expert renovation designers and builders can take care of every step of your roof reconfiguration to your unique specifications.
Refresh’s innovative online systems keep everything running smoothly. Our project management systems keep all areas of your renovation organised, while our customer portal allows you to stay updated, wherever you may be.

Dormers can easily blend in with your home’s existing design and can significantly increase the available floor area of your home. Reach out to a renovations specialist today to discuss if a gable end dormer is the ideal solution for your roof extension.
You can create additional space upstairs by extending the first floor of your home over the ground floor. Refresh can help you achieve this by extending the first floor beyond the existing external wall, creating a covered patio and entrance porch which significantly increases the floor area of the room above.
Only about 6% of homes in the UK were built during or after 2012, which means there are quite a few old bathrooms out there! Many homeowners enamoured with the charm of older homes still want the convenience of modern features, which may seem like a difficult balance to strike but we’re here to help.
Describing a bathroom as “high performance” means that form and function have been given equal consideration throughout the design. After all, a beautiful bathroom that doesn’t function properly is practically useless and, as an essential facility, what’s the point of that? The ideal bathroom features an expertly designed interior complemented by modern-day amenities.
From compact city flats to spacious country residences, our team of experienced renovation professionals is dedicated to designing a bathroom that is perfectly suited to your lifestyle needs and your home’s aesthetic.
Though bathroom renovations are relatively small scale, there’s no shortage of challenges involved. Having completed thousands of successful renovations, we’ve seen them all and are well-equipped to face obstacles head-on. The 5-step Refresh process was designed to mitigate risks; our experienced Renovation Consultants utilise this method to deliver renovations on time and within budget.
“From the moment Refresh Renovations came for a home visit, we knew we were in good hands. They ensured everything ran as smoothly as possible during our bathroom renovation. Refresh understood our needs and I highly recommend them. Should the need arise, we would be more than happy to use Refresh again.” - Kim, Refresh client
Transparent communication and thorough planning are at the core of our process as we believe these factors have the most significant impact on a successful renovation. But we don’t measure success solely on the results of a project. Homeowner satisfaction is a driving force behind Refresh and it’s our mission to provide a positive and stress-free experience.
You’re in the right place. To get started, get in touch with a local Renovation Consultant and arrange a free, no-obligation consultation.
Our 5-step approach to renovations was designed to keep projects running smooth, on schedule, and within budget.
Step 1
Starting off your bathroom renovation journey with a thorough consultation gets everyone on the same page. It’s an opportunity for you to share all your ideas, big and small, with your Renovation Consultant. If you need a walk-in shower for ageing parents or an extra tub for washing your dog, now is the time to let us know!
Step 2
Once you’ve shared your goals, you and your Renovation Consultant will review concept designs to determine what’s achievable. You may find that you need to make tweaks to come in under budget, or that you can make some unexpected upgrades such as opting for a marble vanity. Regardless of what they may be, this is a great stage in the process to make changes to your bathroom design.
Step 3
Working drawings are the next step. They differ from concept drawings because they take into account the functionality of your design and focus on aspects such as structural integrity and architectural engineering. You’ll always be in control, but to avoid additional expenses and delays further along, this is when you want to make any changes to the plans as it’s the last step before building begins. If no further alterations are necessary, you’ll be presented with a fixed quote and contract to sign off on before moving forward.
Step 4
Now is when you get to sit back and watch your bathroom take shape. Reliable contractors and trusted tradespeople, coordinated by your Renovation Consultant, will transform your existing space into the bathroom you've been dreaming of. If any unexpected issues arise, you can rest assured they’ll be dealt with promptly and with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
Step 5
That’s it! Your renovation is finished! Alongside your fantastic new bathroom, your Renovation Consultant will provide you with the necessary council documentation. A completed Code of Compliance certificate is required to prove that all craftsmanship was completed to a high standard. Keep that somewhere safe, and then enjoy your new bathroom!

This is a list of some of the common design styles that we are seeing in our projects across the UK:
In the United Kingdom, the need for a Buildings Regulations approval for a new bathroom largely depends on the extent of the work involved.
Generally, if your bathroom renovation involves structural changes, plumbing alterations, or electrical work, it is likely that you will require a building consent. This is because these changes may affect the safety, durability, and compliance of the building.
Your renovation consultant at Refresh can take care of this on your behalf during the Working Drawings and Costing stage of the process. They will be able to assess whether a building consent is required and guide you through the process to ensure compliance with the UK’s building standards.
The duration of a bathroom renovation project can vary greatly depending on a number of factors such as the scope of the project and the specific circumstances of the remodel. A minor remodel that involves primarily cosmetic changes such as painting, replacing fixtures, or updating the lighting could take a few days to a week to complete.
However, a major bathroom renovation that involves significant changes to the layout or requires extensive plumbing or electrical work could take several weeks or even months to complete. During our working drawings and costing stage of our bespoke 5-step process, we will work with you to prepare a gantt chart showing expected timeline for your bathroom remodeling project.

A pitched roof allows you extra height without appearing boxy or imposing. It can be designed to match the existing aesthetic of your house, while transforming it from its previous look. These angled ceilings can create space for attractive fresh windows and additional glazing as well.
If your goal is to create contrast with your room, instead of trying to blend the extension with the rest of your home, our Refresh renovation specialists can help you achieve your desired look.
Flat roofs do not have to be completely horizontal and can be at any incline you choose. They are easy to install and provide additional functionality such as the ability to add solar panels or air conditioning on your roof. Some homeowners even choose to create an additional living space up there! Refresh can help you create the ideal flat roof to match your wants and needs.
A skillion roof has a single sharp incline that is often added over porches and sheds. It is extremely popular in the modern architectural landscape as they are cost effective and relatively easy to construct, while allowing for water run-off and giving you space for adding skylights or additional storage solutions in the attic. Our Refresh renovation specialists can work with you to ensure we create a roof that achieves your desired result.
Built from an expanse of glass, glazed roofs are an excellent way of flooding your extension with natural light and create a sun-room type space. These sections can be used for a second kitchen, studio, or even a home office.
Although a gambrel style roof is most commonly associated with barns, they are also used in residential constructions when homeowners want to create an abundance of space in their attic. The amount of space provided here can allow you to create an extra bedroom or living area!
If you are looking to create an architectural beauty of a home, one of the ways to do so is by a pair of twin gables on either side of your home. This can help you create enough space for a new floor while helping your home’s street appeal.
Perhaps the most modern roof design of them all is the green roof, which allows homeowners to create a garden on their roof. Valued for being environmentally friendly and aesthetically pleasing, green roofs are becoming an increasingly popular choice among homeowners that are looking to stand out.
