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. In Llantrisant, a town of about 14,000 people in Rhondda Cynon Taf, the work is planned around the HMO rules for Wales and the council’s written HMO standards.

Which rules apply in Llantrisant?
Void and between-tenancy refurbs in Llantrisant must satisfy national law for Wales, the council’s written HMO standards and, where walls, drainage or fire separation change, the building rules. In short:
- Fitness for human habitation rules require mains-powered, interlinked smoke alarms on every storey and CO alarms where there is a gas, oil or solid-fuel appliance.
- Councils assess hazards, including damp and mould, under the HHSRS, alongside the fitness for human habitation rules for occupation contracts.
- Kitchen and bathroom ratios are set in each council’s HMO standards.
- Council HMO standards and the fire risk assessment set detection, fire doors and escape routes.
