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 Deeside, a town of about 32,000 people in Flintshire, the work is planned around the HMO rules for Wales and the council’s written HMO standards.
