Why Havering Homeowners Choose AJ Plast
Havering has a real mix of property types — 1930s semis, Victorian terraces closer to Romford town centre, and newer developments in areas like Harold Wood and Rise Park. Each brings slightly different challenges, from older lath-and-plaster walls needing careful re-skimming, to newer plasterboard needing a first skim finish for a brand-new extension. Our experience across this variety means we know how to approach each property correctly rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method that might work on one house type but fail on another.
Havering's Housing and What It Means for Your Job
Older properties in and around Romford town centre and Collier Row often still have original lath-andplaster construction in some rooms, which needs a different approach to modern plasterboard — sometimes a full re-skim is the right call, and sometimes careful patch repair is enough. Further out in Gidea Park, Hornchurch and Upminster, you'll find a higher proportion of 1930s-40s semi-detached housing, often with plaster that's held up reasonably well but benefits from a refresh, particularly in ceilings where artex was popular decades ago. Newer developments around Harold Wood tend to need less repair work and more first-fix boarding and skimming for extensions and loft conversions.
