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. Abergavenny is 25 miles north of Cardiff. We price void and between-tenancy refurbs there against Wales’s HMO rules and the council’s written HMO standards, so work is planned to the standard an inspection looks for.
