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. In Lisburn, a town of around 80,000 people in County Antrim, the work is planned around the HMO rules for Northern Ireland and the NI HMO standards and licence conditions.
