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 Hailsham we start with a measured survey, check the council’s written HMO standards for the number of sharers, and then price each item separately.
