As we step into spring 2025, homeowners across Greater Manchester are looking for innovative ways to upgrade their living spaces. Whether you’re planning a small renovation or a major home transformation, keeping up with the latest building trends can help you make the most of your investment. At CJS Roofing, we’ve been keeping an eye on the biggest home improvement trends set to dominate this season. Here are the top five building trends that can enhance your home’s style, functionality, and value this spring.
1. Sustainable and Energy-Efficient Roofing
With energy prices continuing to fluctuate, many homeowners are prioritising energy efficiency in their home improvements. Sustainable roofing solutions are becoming increasingly popular, and for good reason!
At CJS Roofing, we’ve seen a growing demand for:
✔ Solar-ready roofing – A durable, weatherproof roofing structure that supports solar panels seamlessly.
✔ Cool roofs – Specialised materials that reflect more sunlight, keeping homes naturally cooler in warmer months.
✔ Green roofing – Adding living plants and vegetation to your roof to improve insulation and air quality.
Upgrading to an energy-efficient roofing system can significantly reduce your energy bills while adding value to your property.
2. Biophilic Design – Bringing the Outdoors In
One of the biggest design trends this year is biophilic architecture, which focuses on incorporating natural elements into your home. This is particularly appealing as we move into spring, when natural light and fresh air become more desirable.
How can you introduce biophilic design into your home?
🏡 Skylights & Roof Lanterns – Increase natural light with stylish skylights or roof lanterns.
🌿 Living Walls & Vertical Gardens – Install a green wall indoors to improve air quality.
🚪 Large Glass Doors & Windows – Blur the boundaries between your home and garden with bi-fold or sliding glass doors.
These additions create a calming, nature-inspired atmosphere while also improving ventilation and energy efficiency.
3. Outdoor Living Spaces & Garden Rooms
As spring arrives, more homeowners are investing in their outdoor spaces. Whether you want to enjoy alfresco dining, host guests, or create a peaceful retreat, outdoor renovations are a great way to add extra usable space.
🏡 Garden Rooms & Home Offices – With remote work still a huge trend, insulated garden rooms make for ideal offices or creative studios.
🔥 Fire Pits & Outdoor Heating – Extend the usability of your garden into the cooler evenings.
🪵 Decking & Pergolas – A simple way to enhance your garden’s aesthetics and create a functional seating area.
Investing in your outdoor space can make your home more enjoyable year-round while boosting its market appeal.
4. Modern, Low-Maintenance Roofing Materials
If your roof is showing signs of wear and tear, spring is the perfect time to invest in a roofing upgrade. Homeowners in Greater Manchester are increasingly opting for low-maintenance, durable roofing materials that can withstand unpredictable weather.
Some of the most popular options include:
🔹 Slate Roofing – Timeless, durable, and long-lasting.
🔹 Metal Roofing – A modern choice with exceptional durability and weather resistance.
🔹 Rubber Roofing (EPDM) – Perfect for flat roofs, offering flexibility and longevity.
A high-quality roof enhances your home’s curb appeal while protecting it from the elements for decades to come.
5. Smart Home Upgrades & Integrated Technology
As homes become smarter, more homeowners are integrating automated systems into their renovations. Spring 2025 is set to see a rise in:
💡 Smart Roof Ventilation – Automated roof vents that adjust airflow based on temperature and humidity.
🎛 App-Controlled Heating & Lighting – Energy-efficient home automation systems.
📸 Security Upgrades – Smart CCTV, motion sensors, and remote-controlled garage doors for added safety.
Smart technology not only makes your home more convenient and efficient but also increases its value if you ever decide to sell.
