Tacking is boards measured, cut, and screwed into place with staggered joints, creating a strong, level surface ready for jointing and skimming. In Kippings Cross and the surrounding Kent villages, Russ Kenward has been carrying out this exact work since 2009, on everything from single-room jobs to full property renovations.
Kippings Cross sits within our core Kent coverage, alongside nearby communities like Horsmonden and Johns Cross, all within a short drive of our Beckley base.
Older Kippings Cross 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 Kippings Cross wall build-up on-site before recommending the right system for that particular Kippings Cross property, boards measured, cut, and screwed into place with staggered joints, creating a strong, level surface ready for jointing and skimming.
