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 Sandown Park and the wider East Sussex area, bringing 25+ years of hands-on plastering experience to every job.
Sandown Park sits within our core East Sussex coverage, alongside nearby communities like Salehurst and Sinkhurst Green, all within a short drive of our Beckley base.
Older Sandown Park 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 Sandown Park wall build-up on-site before recommending the right system for that particular Sandown Park property, boards measured, cut, and screwed into place with staggered joints, creating a strong, level surface ready for jointing and skimming.
