Tacking Specialists Covering Beckley, East Sussex
From single walls to whole-house jobs, R Kenward Plastering Contractors carries out tacking throughout Beckley, East Sussex. Boards measured, cut, and screwed into place with staggered joints, creating a strong, level surface ready for jointing and skimming.
We look after homes and businesses throughout Beckley in East Sussex, and regularly work in neighbouring areas such as Whatlington and Ewhurst Green.
Properties across East Sussex, Beckley included, vary enormously, from older cottages to newer housing, and tacking is adapted to suit whichever a Beckley job calls for. The correct fixing centres, properly staggered joints between rows, and the right expansion gaps at floor and ceiling level, so the skim coat that follows goes onto a genuinely sound, flat base rather than one that will crack within a year, whether the Beckley property is period or modern.
Tacking work in Beckley starts with a conversation about the Beckley property, not a hard sell. Call 07850 161812 or send an enquiry describing the Beckley job, and R Kenward Plastering Contractors will get back to you with a free, no-obligation quote.

Tacking in Beckley FAQs
Incorrectly tacked boards, wrong fixing centres, or unstaggered joints typically show up later as cracking along the joint lines once the wall is skimmed and painted, even if the skim coat itself was applied well.
