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 New Malden (KT3, KT4 and SW20) 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.

- The Fire Safety Order 2005 applies to the common parts of HMOs, enforced by the fire and rescue authority.
