Tacking is boards measured, cut, and screwed into place with staggered joints, creating a strong, level surface ready for jointing and skimming. In Brenchley and the surrounding Kent villages, Russ Kenward has been carrying out this exact work since 2009, on everything from single-room jobs to full property renovations.
As a Kent based team working out of Beckley, we treat Brenchley as part of our home patch, along with nearby Stonecrouch and Dale Hill.
Old lath and plaster ceilings being replaced with plasterboard and metal stud partitions in commercial or new-build settings are two of the most common reasons Brenchley homeowners get in touch about tacking. Whatever the starting point in Brenchley, the same fixed, no-obligation quote applies to every Brenchley job before any work is booked.
