Tacking in Durgates by R Kenward Plastering Contractors

Durgates, East Sussex

Expert Tacking in Durgates

Whether the property is a period cottage or a new extension, tacking in Durgates gets the same careful approach from R Kenward Plastering Contractors, 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.

From our Beckley base we reach Durgates and the rest of East Sussex quickly, including neighbouring Seacox Heath and Flimwell.

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