Seacox Heath, East Sussex

Local Tacking in Seacox Heath and the Surrounding Villages

Homeowners and builders in Seacox Heath come to R Kenward Plastering Contractors for tacking, boards measured, cut, and screwed into place with staggered joints, creating a strong, level surface ready for jointing and skimming. It is one of the core services offered across East Sussex alongside the practice's specialist decorative finishes.

Based in Beckley, R Kenward Plastering Contractors covers Seacox Heath and the wider East Sussex area, including nearby Round Green and Salehurst.

Properties across East Sussex, Seacox Heath included, vary enormously, from older cottages to newer housing, and tacking is adapted to suit whichever a Seacox Heath job calls for. 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, whether the Seacox Heath property is period or modern.

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