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. Landlords in Barry (CF62 and CF63) usually come to us with a council letter, a fire risk assessment or a house they have just bought. We price from whichever you have.
