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 Chillmill and the wider East Sussex area, bringing 25+ years of hands-on plastering experience to every job.
We look after homes and businesses throughout Chillmill in East Sussex, and regularly work in neighbouring areas such as Claygate and Seacox Heath.
