Tacking is boards measured, cut, and screwed into place with staggered joints, creating a strong, level surface ready for jointing and skimming. In Cottenden 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 Cottenden and the rest of East Sussex quickly, including neighbouring Cousley Wood and Coopers Corner.
For Cottenden properties, leave appropriate expansion gaps at floor and ceiling junctions, then check the finished surface is flat and securely fixed before jointing or skimming begins. Every tacking job in Cottenden follows the same sequence, whatever the size of the property or the room in Cottenden.
