Work is carried out by S&K and vetted subcontractors working under S&K's supervision, so you contract with one company for the whole project.

How we handle HMO void refurbishment work in Malvern
We turn round empty HMO rooms in Malvern between tenancies: inspection, repairs, redecoration, a deep clean and safety checks, finished with photos you can use to advertise the room. Each job is quoted per room or per job after we have seen it.
Because tenants can now give notice at any point in the year, voids in Malvern are harder to predict. We agree standard finishes and a set checklist with landlords across Worcestershire, so a room can be put right without waiting on decisions.
- Move-out inspection with dated photos
- Gas safety and electrical report dates reviewed
- Completion photos ready for advertising the room
- Repairs, filling and redecoration to an agreed standard
- Deep clean of the room and nearby shared areas
