Refix and further advance

Grateful for any advice you may have on the following:

I moved house in March 2021  by porting my mortgage with HSBC. The LTV was 80% after porting. 

My fixed rate runs out in May 2022.

I think the value of the house has gone up based on general house price inflation.

I need to borrow about 10% more on the mortgage for a loft conversion. This would take me up to 90% LTV. 

My questions are:

1.Will May 2022 be too early to request a revaluation? If the house has gone up by say 5% then I could borrow the same amount but at an 85% LTV. 

2. Is it possible to re-fix the current mortgage at 80% LTV and then request a further advance? If so, would I pay the 90% LTV rate only on the further advance or on the whole mortgage amount? 

Affordability isn't an issue as current mortgage is at <3x my income and with the further advance it would be about 3.3x.
