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. For a house in Coleraine we start with a measured survey, check the NI HMO standards and licence conditions for the number of sharers, and then price each item separately. Coleraine has a university population, so many shared houses are let to students on yearly tenancies, and summer is the main window for works.
