In short: A void refurbishment is the work done while a room or house is empty between tenancies: repairs, redecoration, flooring, deep cleaning and safety checks, done quickly so the room can be let again. We carry this out across Bridgend, priced against the HMO rules for Wales and the council’s own standards.

Which rules apply in Bridgend?
- Fitness for human habitation rules require mains-powered, interlinked smoke alarms on every storey and CO alarms where there is a gas, oil or solid-fuel appliance.
- Councils assess hazards, including damp and mould, under the HHSRS, alongside the fitness for human habitation rules for occupation contracts.
- Kitchen and bathroom ratios are set in each council’s HMO standards.
- Council HMO standards and the fire risk assessment set detection, fire doors and escape routes.
Welsh councils set their own HMO standards and may run additional licensing. In Wales, changing a house to a C4 HMO always needs planning permission, so check planning first.
