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 Canadia and the wider East Sussex area, bringing 25+ years of hands-on plastering experience to every job.
We look after homes and businesses throughout Canadia in East Sussex, and regularly work in neighbouring areas such as Seacox Heath and Swiftsden.
Whether it is a single damaged wall in Canadia after a leak, or a full renovation as part of a bigger Canadia project, tacking jobs in Canadia get the same fixed, no-obligation quote and the same standard of finish, regardless of size.
No two Canadia jobs are quite the same, which is why every Canadia quote for tacking is priced on what the property actually needs. Call 07850 161812 to arrange a visit, or a FaceTime walkthrough for smaller Canadia jobs.
