Pelt found in refurbishment (3)
I believe the answer is:
fur
'pelt' is the definition.
('fur' can be a synonym of 'pelt')
'in refurbishment' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'FUR' is hidden within 'refurbishment'.
'found' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for fur that I've seen before include "Animal skin like mink or sable" , "Garment" , "Expensive coat; deposit in kettle" , "Deposit lining kettles" , "Coating in kettle" .)
