Tacking is boards measured, cut, and screwed into place with staggered joints, creating a strong, level surface ready for jointing and skimming. In Claygate and the surrounding East Sussex villages, Russ Kenward has been carrying out this exact work since 2009, on everything from single-room jobs to full property renovations.
From our Beckley base we reach Claygate and the rest of East Sussex quickly, including neighbouring Colts Hill and Colliers Green.
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 Claygate homeowners get in touch about tacking.
