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. We carry this out across Swansea, priced against the HMO rules for Wales and the council’s own standards.
