Tacking is one of the services most requested across The Platt and East Sussex. Tacking is the fixing of plasterboard sheets to timber or metal stud frames and joists, the structural first step before any wall or ceiling can be skimmed.

As a East Sussex based team working out of Beckley, we treat The Platt as part of our home patch, along with nearby Dale Hill and Three Cups Corner.
