Tacking in Chitcombe by R Kenward Plastering Contractors

Chitcombe, East Sussex

Local Tacking in Chitcombe and the Surrounding Villages

Tacking in Chitcombe is exactly the kind of work Russ Kenward has built the business on since 2009. Covering East Sussex with 5.0 rating from 11 Google reviews, 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.

Chitcombe sits within our core East Sussex coverage, alongside nearby communities like Stonecrouch and Castle Hill, all within a short drive of our Beckley base.

For a job in Chitcombe, the process starts with a proper assessment of the Chitcombe 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 Chitcombe job, because the quality of tacking only becomes obvious once decoration goes on.
