Getting tacking right in Kilndown takes real experience, not just a trowel. R Kenward Plastering Contractors brings 25+ years of hands-on plastering experience to every job across Kent, 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.
We look after homes and businesses throughout Kilndown in Kent, and regularly work in neighbouring areas such as Swiftsden and Little Bayham.
Sound-proofing or fire-rated board upgrades is another common reason tacking gets requested in Kilndown. On every Kilndown job we survey the property first, either in person or via a FaceTime walkthrough, before quoting for Kilndown work, always as a free, no-obligation quote.
