Expert Tacking in Romford

Getting tacking right in Romford 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.

Romford sits within our core Kent coverage, alongside nearby communities like Queen Street and Round Green, all within a short drive of our Beckley base.

Signs that a property in Romford may need tacking include new stud walls or partitions ready for boarding and loft conversions and extensions needing ceilings boarded, both common in Romford.
