Tacking in Rolvenden by R Kenward Plastering Contractors

Rolvenden, Kent

Expert Tacking in Rolvenden

Tacking in Rolvenden is exactly the kind of work Russ Kenward has built the business on since 2009. Covering Kent with 5.0 rating from 11 Google reviews, 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.

From our Beckley base we reach Rolvenden and the rest of Kent quickly, including neighbouring Queen Street and Romford.

Older Rolvenden 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 Rolvenden wall build-up on-site before recommending the right system for that particular Rolvenden property, boards measured, cut, and screwed into place with staggered joints, creating a strong, level surface ready for jointing and skimming.

Tacking in Rolvenden is booked the same way as every other job on our books, a free Rolvenden quote first, then a fixed price for the Rolvenden work with no surprises. Call 07850 161812 to arrange your Rolvenden visit.
