Whether the property is a period cottage or a new extension, tacking in Ticehurst 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.
Based in Beckley, R Kenward Plastering Contractors covers Ticehurst and the wider East Sussex area, including nearby Trulls Hatch and The Moor.
Older Ticehurst 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 Ticehurst wall build-up on-site before recommending the right system for that particular Ticehurst property, boards measured, cut, and screwed into place with staggered joints, creating a strong, level surface ready for jointing and skimming.
