Which rules apply in London?

Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, the presence of asbestos must be assessed (or presumed) before work that could disturb it, and a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before intrusive work in buildings built or refurbished before 2000. Licensed asbestos work is carried out only by licensed contractors.

What does it cost in London?

Our guide range for a minor void in London is £1,850–£4,250 per void. That is the UK range of £1,500–£3,500 (our estimate) adjusted by a regional cost factor of 1.22 (VOA Rating Cost Guide 2026: inner London 1.17–1.32, outer London 1.08–1.26); figures are before VAT where the source states it. Every job is priced after survey; specification, access and the condition of the homes will move the figure.

How do we deliver it?

Our handover pack is designed for your lettings team: photos room by room, certificates from the engineers who did the work and a short list of anything we were not asked to do.

Can you take a batch of voids at once?

Yes. We can price a batch on a per-property basis or agree rates for minor and major voids.

What is the difference between a minor and a major void?

There is no single sector definition. Most landlords call a void minor when it needs only safety checks, small repairs, decoration and cleaning, and major when it needs a kitchen, bathroom, rewire, heating or structural work. We use your definitions when we price.
