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 South Ayrshire, the work is planned around Scotland’s HMO rules and the standards the local council publishes.
