Tacking is one of the services most requested across Whydown and East Sussex. Tacking is the fixing of plasterboard sheets to timber or metal stud frames and joists, the structural first step before any wall or ceiling can be skimmed. R Kenward Plastering Contractors has been doing exactly this since 2009, with 5.0 rating from 11 google reviews.
We look after homes and businesses throughout Whydown in East Sussex, and regularly work in neighbouring areas such as Swiftsden and Whatlington.
Properties across East Sussex, Whydown included, vary enormously, from older cottages to newer housing, and tacking is adapted to suit whichever a Whydown job calls for. 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, whether the Whydown property is period or modern.
