bathrooms.

£28.5bn UK renovations sector that provides consistent, high quality customer service.

Role of a Refresh Renovations Business Owner
Refresh Renovation consultants ensure that homeowners don’t have to navigate the fragmented and confusing renovation industry. Consultants work with clients to discuss their ideas, budget and priorities – then, with their team, they make it happen. The homeowner doesn’t have to lift a finger.
Refresh provides a single point of contact to take homeowners through the entire renovation, while the Refresh process ensures cost-effective renovations – from design to completion.

“I’ve replaced my salary now. I’ve got a lifestyle now. I’m building an asset - which you can’t do when you’re on a salary.”
-
Paul Cree, Melbourne franchise owner & former engineering consultant
“It was an opportunity for me to get into an exciting industry that I was interested in but didn’t have a huge amount of knowledge or experience in. I knew when buying a franchise that it would allow me to join this industry and get the experience and knowledge”

Kim Reiche, South Auckland franchise owner & former Architectural Specifier
“Refresh Renovations stood out for me because of their straightforward and well-designed operating strategy. The national marketing support the company offers is outstanding and their systems are excellent – the Refresh process covers everything from the initial briefing to concept, working drawings, quote, build and finished project. This allows clients to fully understand what’s involved in a renovation project – the planning needed to achieve the end result.”
-
Steve Wang, Wellington franchise owner & former hospitality superstar
“The Refresh franchise was affordable compared to other franchises available in the market. I could own a franchise without actually taking a huge loan, before even getting into a business. The second biggest advantage to owning a Refresh franchise is having the flexibility and the lifestyle that I am leading right now. The right balance between my family life and professional life was equally important to me.

Scott Goodwin, Franchise Lawyer
"We have been impressed with the professional and polished approach taken by the team at Traffic in their establishment and roll-out of the Refresh Renovation franchise operation. Traffic’s approach, and Refresh’s processes and systems appear to be second to none. They are certainly far more advanced than a number of other franchise systems that we have had contact with. Our view is that the team at Traffic and Refresh are proactive, innovative, well-organised, smart, professional and committed to excellence. As their lawyers, we have seen first hand how satisfied potential Refresh Renovations franchisees are in terms of the process of introduction to the system and subsequent conversion to franchisees. The roll-out of the Refresh franchise operation has been able to be brought to market extremely quickly without any compromise in quality. Opportunities will certainly come knocking to this franchised business, and we would recommend them, and Traffic, without hesitation."
