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 Margate (CT8, CT9 and CT10) 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.
- Councils assess hazards, including damp, mould and fire, under the HHSRS; revised regulations and guidance applied from 23 June 2026.
- Council standards often step up at 5 and 6 sharers, for example a separate WC at 5 and a second bathroom from 6.
- Smoke alarms on every storey with living accommodation and CO alarms by fixed combustion appliances (other than gas cookers) are required by law.
