Local Tacking in Trulls Hatch and the Surrounding Villages

Whether the property is a period cottage or a new extension, tacking in Trulls Hatch 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.

As a East Sussex based team working out of Beckley, we treat Trulls Hatch as part of our home patch, along with nearby Stonecrouch and Vinehall Street.
