The Quarter, Kent
Local Tacking in The Quarter and the Surrounding Villages
Getting tacking right in The Quarter takes real experience, not just a trowel. R Kenward Plastering Contractors brings 25+ years of hands-on plastering experience to every job across Kent, 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.
From our Beckley base we reach The Quarter and the rest of Kent quickly, including neighbouring The Moor and Three Cups Corner.
Older The Quarter 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 The Quarter wall build-up on-site before recommending the right system for that particular The Quarter property, boards measured, cut, and screwed into place with staggered joints, creating a strong, level surface ready for jointing and skimming.
From single rooms to full renovations, R Kenward Plastering Contractors is the The Quarter choice for tacking, backed by 5.0 rating from 11 Google reviews and a working base close enough to The Quarter to keep quotes quick. Call 07850 161812 about your The Quarter project.
