Tacking is the fixing of plasterboard sheets to timber or metal stud frames and joists, the structural first step before any wall or ceiling can be skimmed. R Kenward Plastering Contractors carries out tacking for homes and businesses across Burgh Hill and the wider East Sussex area, bringing 25+ years of hands-on plastering experience to every job.
Burgh Hill sits within our core East Sussex coverage, alongside nearby communities like Camden Hill and Stonecrouch, all within a short drive of our Beckley base.
For a job in Burgh Hill, the process starts with a proper assessment of the Burgh Hill wall or ceiling in question, then moves through each stage in the right order: measure the frame and plan board layout to minimise joints and maximise strength, cut boards to size, allowing for sockets, switches, and service penetrations, and on through to the finished surface. Nothing is rushed on a Burgh Hill job, because the quality of tacking only becomes obvious once decoration goes on.
