Local Tacking in Great Pattenden and the Surrounding Villages
Whether the property is a period cottage or a new extension, tacking in Great Pattenden 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.
Based in Beckley, R Kenward Plastering Contractors covers Great Pattenden and the wider Kent area, including nearby Great Cheveney and Stonecrouch.
Older Great Pattenden properties sometimes still have original lath and plaster or lime-based walls, which need a different approach to a modern gypsum job. We assess the Great Pattenden wall build-up on-site before recommending the right system for that particular Great Pattenden property, boards measured, cut, and screwed into place with staggered joints, creating a strong, level surface ready for jointing and skimming.
No two Great Pattenden jobs are quite the same, which is why every Great Pattenden quote for tacking is priced on what the property actually needs. Call 07850 161812 to arrange a visit, or a FaceTime walkthrough for smaller Great Pattenden jobs.
