Tacking in East End by R Kenward Plastering Contractors

East End, East Sussex

Local Tacking in East End and the Surrounding Villages

From single walls to whole-house jobs, R Kenward Plastering Contractors carries out tacking throughout East End, East Sussex. Boards measured, cut, and screwed into place with staggered joints, creating a strong, level surface ready for jointing and skimming.

As a East Sussex based team working out of Beckley, we treat East End as part of our home patch, along with nearby Darwell Hole and Flimwell.

Properties across East Sussex, East End included, vary enormously, from older cottages to newer housing, and tacking is adapted to suit whichever a East End job calls for. 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, whether the East End property is period or modern.

No two East End jobs are quite the same, which is why every East End quote for tacking is priced on what the property actually needs. Call 07850 161812 to arrange a visit, or a FaceTime walkthrough for smaller East End jobs.
