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. Landlords in Milngavie (G61 and G62) usually come to us with a council letter, a fire risk assessment or a house they have just bought. We price from whichever you have.

Void and between-tenancy refurbs in Milngavie must satisfy national law for Scotland, the council’s written HMO standards and, where walls, drainage or fire separation change, the building rules. In short:
- Councils set HMO fire standards through licence conditions, often including emergency lighting in larger HMOs.
- Awaab’s Law applies to most private tenancies from 6 October 2026: damp and mould reports must be investigated within 10 working days, and repairs to substantial damp or mould must start within 5 working days.
- Kitchen, WC and bathroom ratios come from council standards; one WC and one bath or shower per 5 people is a common figure.
