In short: 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. Across Monmouthshire, the work is planned around Wales’s HMO rules and the standards the local council publishes.
