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 Cranbrook and the wider Kent area, bringing 25+ years of hands-on plastering experience to every job.
We look after homes and businesses throughout Cranbrook in Kent, and regularly work in neighbouring areas such as Coopers Corner and Cottenden.
For Cranbrook 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 Cranbrook follows the same sequence, whatever the size of the property or the room in Cranbrook.
