Getting tacking right in Frant takes real experience, not just a trowel. R Kenward Plastering Contractors brings 25+ years of hands-on plastering experience to every job across East Sussex, 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.
Frant sits within our core East Sussex coverage, alongside nearby communities like Dale Hill and Seacox Heath, all within a short drive of our Beckley base.
Whether the Frant job is a single room or a whole property, the same care goes into tacking in Frant as anywhere else across East Sussex. Measure the frame and plan board layout to minimise joints and maximise strength, adapted to whatever the Frant property and its Frant access happen to need.
