Whether the property is a period cottage or a new extension, tacking in Staplehurst gets the same careful approach from R Kenward Plastering Contractors, 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.
Russ Kenward covers Staplehurst and the surrounding Kent area on the same local round that takes in Strood, Swailes Green and the towns around them.

Tacking in Staplehurst FAQs
