Tacking is one of the services most requested across Great Jobs Cross and East Sussex. 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 has been doing exactly this since 2009, with 5.0 rating from 11 google reviews.
Based in Beckley, R Kenward Plastering Contractors covers Great Jobs Cross and the wider East Sussex area, including nearby Stonecrouch and Golford.
For a job in Great Jobs Cross, the process starts with a proper assessment of the Great Jobs Cross 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 Great Jobs Cross job, because the quality of tacking only becomes obvious once decoration goes on.
