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 carries out tacking for homes and businesses across Rolvenden Layne and the wider Kent area, bringing 25+ years of hands-on plastering experience to every job.
We look after homes and businesses throughout Rolvenden Layne in Kent, and regularly work in neighbouring areas such as Round Green and Rushers Cross.
For a job in Rolvenden Layne, the process starts with a proper assessment of the Rolvenden Layne 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 Rolvenden Layne job, because the quality of tacking only becomes obvious once decoration goes on.
