Swailes Green, East Sussex
Professional Tacking Serving Swailes Green
Tacking is boards measured, cut, and screwed into place with staggered joints, creating a strong, level surface ready for jointing and skimming. In Swailes Green 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.
Russ Kenward covers Swailes Green and the surrounding East Sussex area on the same local round that takes in Swiftsden, Smallbridge and the towns around them.
Properties across East Sussex, Swailes Green included, vary enormously, from older cottages to newer housing, and tacking is adapted to suit whichever a Swailes Green 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 Swailes Green property is period or modern.

Tacking in Swailes Green FAQs
Incorrectly tacked boards, wrong fixing centres, or unstaggered joints typically show up later as cracking along the joint lines once the wall is skimmed and painted, even if the skim coat itself was applied well.
