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. Penarth is 3 miles south 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.

Void and between-tenancy refurbs in Penarth 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.
