Whether the property is a period cottage or a new extension, tacking in Union Street 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.
Union Street sits within our core East Sussex coverage, alongside nearby communities like Twelve Oaks and Whatlington, all within a short drive of our Beckley base.
For Union Street properties, leave appropriate expansion gaps at floor and ceiling junctions, then check the finished surface is flat and securely fixed before jointing or skimming begins. Every tacking job in Union Street follows the same sequence, whatever the size of the property or the room in Union Street.
