Homeowners and builders in Silver Hill 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 Kent alongside the practice's specialist decorative finishes.
From our Beckley base we reach Silver Hill and the rest of Kent quickly, including neighbouring Snagshall and Standen Street.
Older Silver Hill 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 Silver Hill wall build-up on-site before recommending the right system for that particular Silver Hill property, boards measured, cut, and screwed into place with staggered joints, creating a strong, level surface ready for jointing and skimming.
No two Silver Hill jobs are quite the same, which is why every Silver Hill quote for tacking is priced on what the property actually needs. Call 07850 161812 to arrange a visit, or a FaceTime walkthrough for smaller Silver Hill jobs.

Tacking in Silver Hill FAQs
Ceiling boards are typically thicker or specified with tighter joist centres than wall boards to prevent sagging, and the right board and fixing spec depends on the joist spacing on the specific job.
