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. Carshalton is 10 miles south of London. We price void and between-tenancy refurbs there against England’s HMO rules and the council’s written HMO standards, so work is planned to the standard an inspection looks for.

The rules below are the England-wide position for this kind of work. Councils add their own standards and schemes on top, so we always check the address in Carshalton before we price.
- Fire precautions follow a risk assessment; the LACORS Housing – Fire Safety guide (2008) is guidance, not law, but many councils base their standards on it.

- National rules ask for an adequate number of bathrooms, WCs and basins and suitably located kitchens; numeric ratios are set by each council.
