Tacking in Rushers Cross by R Kenward Plastering Contractors

Rushers Cross, East Sussex

Tacking Specialists Covering Rushers Cross, East Sussex

Tacking in Rushers Cross is exactly the kind of work Russ Kenward has built the business on since 2009. Covering East Sussex 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.

Based in Beckley, R Kenward Plastering Contractors covers Rushers Cross and the wider East Sussex area, including nearby Riseden and Seacox Heath.

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

Whatever the size of the Rushers Cross job, R Kenward Plastering Contractors brings the full range of services to Rushers Cross, tacking included, alongside skimming, float and set, tacking, sticking, and the specialist decorative finishes for Rushers Cross homes. Call 07850 161812 today.
