Re-roof Your House
The perfect roof for your home is more than just good looks and affordability. Environmental factors, materials, roof design, durability, and maintenance requirements all need to be considered. Getting all the elements right the first time could save you thousands down the line. If you want the very best outcome, for the best price, you need our team of renovation specialists on your side. We pride ourselves on delivering the very best results for our customers – using either licensed building practitioners, master builders or certified builders is a priority for us.
Licensed Builders
At Refresh, we take care of all the Building Consents and mandatory requirements that are needed in order to proceed with any roofing project. As an example for all roofing jobs, a scaffold or edge protection is mandatory. This can add a significant cost to the project so we make sure this cost is factored in upfront. Virtually all roofing-work now requires licensed professionals to carry out the installation. If you are thinking about changing a roofline or an existing roofing product on your home, Refresh will also apply for a building consent on your behalf.
Gable Roofs
One of the most popular roof types in many countries is the gable roof. It's style is simple, as it is a pitched roof that slopes inward on two sides while the other two sides have a wall with a traingle at the top. This type of roof can easily shed water and snow. Gable roofs can also provide more ventilation and space inside for attics, lofts or vaulted ceilings. If your house is in a high wind area, however, this might not be the best solution.
Hip Roofs
The main difference between hip roofs and gable roofs is that in a hip roof all sides slope downwards to the walls. This is a very common residential roof type and it is generally more stable than gable, which is why it's a better option in high wind areas. Proper construction and maintenance are needed to prevent minor issues from turning into major ones.

Mansard Roofs
An originally french design, a Mansard roof is four-sided with a double slope on each side that meet to form a low-pitched roof. The lower slope is steeper than the upper and the whole roof can create a lot of extra living space. Dormers are a usual choice with this type of roof as it adds even more character and aesthetic appeal. This style is perfect if you're looking to make future additions to your home.
Gambrel Roofs
Also known as barn roofs, Gambrel roofs are very similar to Mansard roofs because they have two different slopes. However, Gambrel only have two sides. Even though it's most popular in barns, farm houses and log cabins, this style can also be found in colonial or Georgian style homes. They are also becoming commonly used for seds and storage buildings.
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.

A smoother bathroom renovation process
Our 5-step approach to renovations was designed to keep projects running smooth, on schedule, and within budget.
Step 1
Briefing / Initial Consultation
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
Concept and Feasibility
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 and Costing
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
Build / Construction Stage
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
Your Finished Renovation
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!

What are popular bathroom design styles in the UK?
This is a list of some of the common design styles that we are seeing in our projects across the UK:
- Classic Contemporary: Classic contemporary style interiors are curated, minimal, and uncluttered. This style focuses on refined elegance, where handcrafted, quality-made pieces, deliberate use of colour and texture, and attention to detail combine to achieve sophistication and timeless beauty.
- Modern Traditional: Modern Traditional combines the classic shapes and vintage appeal of traditional decor, with the clean lines and simplistic hues of contemporary furnishings. It's the balance (and it is all about the balance!) of old meets new that can make a space feel refined and elegant yet relaxed and cosy at the same time.
Do I need Buildings Regulations approval to renovate my bathroom?
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.
How long does a bathroom renovation usually take in the UK?
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.
What factors should I consider when planning a bathroom renovation? UK
If you’re thinking about renovating your bathroom, ask yourself the following questions:
- What design style are you drawn to? (e.g. minimalist, modern, classic)
- Have you considered a budget? Do you need to talk to a bank or mortgage broker about finance?
- Have you checked your calendar for the most convenient time of year to renovate your bathroom?
- If you have only one bathroom in your house, have you considered an alternative solution whilst the bathroom is undergoing the renovation?
- How much space is there to work with, do you need to extend or is there sufficient space available to achieve what you are looking for?
- How much storage is required?
Having this information ready will make it that much easier to plan your bathroom remodelling project with our team.
How much does a bathroom renovation typically cost in the UK?
At Refresh, we’ve completed a range of bathroom renovations costing anywhere from around £8,000 to upwards of £30,000, each one accomplishing a different goal. Get in touch to schedule an initial briefing meeting - we can work with you through our concept and feasibility process to understand the options, ideas and costs for your project.
Bathroom Inspiration & Advice
Need some help getting started? Take a look at our collection of inspiration and advice articles where we talk about everything from renovating on a budget top bathroom design trends.
Flat Roofs
Even though Flat roofs are seen mostly in commercial buildings, they are becoming increasingly popular in residential houses. If you're thinking about water drainage - they do have a slight pitch to allow for water run-off. Some of the benefits of flat roofs include the ability of keeping cooling/heating units out of sight, lower costs, how easy it is to install solar panels, etc.
Skillion Roofs
Think of Skillion roofs as simply angled Flat roofs. Mostly used for home additions, porches or sheds, modern homes are icreasingly using this style of roof for architectural interest. The steep pitch allows for snow and water to run-off easily, which makes them perfect for high rain or snowy areas.
Jerkinhead Roofs
Also known as English hipped roofs or clipped gable, Jerkinhead roofs are a combination between gable and hip roofs. Usually, the peaks of the gabled ends are clipped off with hipped ends. This style is more stable than a regular Gable roof given that the clipping makes it more resistant to wind damage.
Butterfly Roofs
Probably the least common of these roof styles would be the Butterfly roof. It's V shape ensures that the midsection allows rainwater to be collected - which is also why it is essential that butterfly roofs are waterproofed. It is more common for modern, eco-friendly and tropical home designs to make use of this type of roof.
Bonnet Roofs
A Bonnet roof is like a reverse Mansard, where the lower slope has a lower pitch than the upper slope. A Bonnet roof almost looks like a roof on top of a roof where the lower slope hangs over, acting almost as a cover for an open porch - which is great for protection from the sun in the warmer months of the year.
Sawtooth Roofs
As the name suggests, a Sawtooth roof has two or more parallel angled roofs, making it look like the side view of a saw. Modern homes have adopted this style from industrial buildings. Where possible, windows placed in the vertical spaces of the roof allow for more natural light to pass through. This roof style is also a great option if you're looking to create an eco-friendly home, as it is easy to install solar panels in the flat roofs.
Curved Roofs
A very modern and unique roof style is Curved. From slightly curved to an arch shape, these roofs can be used as a feature piece for a home entrance or to cover the entire house. The best material you can use for a curved roof is metal, because it can be shaped into any form and it won't need as much maintenance as with other materials. Ready to get creative with your roofing project? Go through the pros and cons with a renovation specialist today!
Dome Roofs
More common in gazebos than houses, dome roofs are also great as architectural features. Depending on the material used, dome roofs can be very complex and as such will be more expensive. However, there might be ready made solutions that you could look into. Our renovation specialists can take you through all the available options
Combination Roofs
Mix any of the above and you have a Combination roof! A well designed Combination roof will impress, add a wow factor and add value to your home - however, the more complex the design, the more expensive it will be. There are also different things to keep in mind, such as drainage, materials and the general look and feel of the exterior of your home. Refresh will design and build your dream roof - on time and within budget. Enquire now and let's get started!
