Local Skimming in Romford and the Surrounding Villages
Skimming is one of the services most requested across Romford and Kent. A skim coat is the thin, final layer of plaster that turns a rough or patched wall into a smooth, paint-ready surface. R Kenward Plastering Contractors has been doing exactly this since 2009, with 5.0 rating from 11 google reviews.
We look after homes and businesses throughout Romford in Kent, and regularly work in neighbouring areas such as Rockrobin and Riseden.
For a job in Romford, the process starts with a proper assessment of the Romford wall or ceiling in question, then moves through each stage in the right order: survey the surface and prep, dust down, seal porous patches, and protect flooring and fittings, mix plaster to the correct consistency for the substrate, and on through to the finished surface. Nothing is rushed on a Romford job, because the quality of skimming only becomes obvious once decoration goes on.
With 25+ years of hands-on plastering experience and 5.0 rating from 11 Google reviews, R Kenward Plastering Contractors is a trusted Romford choice for skimming across Romford and the wider Kent border. Call 07850 161812 for a free Romford quote.
