Tacking Specialists Covering Winchelsea, East Sussex

Getting tacking right in Winchelsea 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.

Russ Kenward covers Winchelsea and the surrounding East Sussex area on the same local round that takes in Swiftsden, Wittersham and the towns around them.

Old lath and plaster ceilings being replaced with plasterboard and metal stud partitions in commercial or new-build settings are two of the most common reasons Winchelsea homeowners get in touch about tacking.
