Tacking is boards measured, cut, and screwed into place with staggered joints, creating a strong, level surface ready for jointing and skimming. In Staplecross and the surrounding East Sussex villages, Russ Kenward has been carrying out this exact work since 2009, on everything from single-room jobs to full property renovations.
We look after homes and businesses throughout Staplecross in East Sussex, and regularly work in neighbouring areas such as Strood and Sleeches Cross.
On a Staplecross job, fix boards to timber or metal studs at the correct centres, staggering joints between rows. This is the step where the difference between a rushed job and a proper one really shows, and it is exactly where R Kenward Plastering Contractors' experience across Staplecross and the wider East Sussex border pays off.
No two Staplecross jobs are quite the same, which is why every Staplecross quote for tacking is priced on what the property actually needs. Call 07850 161812 to arrange a visit, or a FaceTime walkthrough for smaller Staplecross jobs.
