Getting tacking right in Whatlington takes real experience, not just a trowel. R Kenward Plastering Contractors brings 25+ years of hands-on plastering experience to every job across East Sussex, 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 Whatlington and the wider East Sussex area, including nearby Tubslake and Wadhurst.
For Whatlington 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 Whatlington follows the same sequence, whatever the size of the property or the room in Whatlington.
