Local Tacking in Winchet Hill and the Surrounding Villages
Tacking is one of the services most requested across Winchet Hill 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 Winchet Hill in East Sussex, and regularly work in neighbouring areas such as Willards Hill and Wierton.
For a job in Winchet Hill, the process starts with a proper assessment of the Winchet Hill wall or ceiling in question, then moves through each stage in the right order: measure the frame and plan board layout to minimise joints and maximise strength, cut boards to size, allowing for sockets, switches, and service penetrations, and on through to the finished surface. Nothing is rushed on a Winchet Hill job, because the quality of tacking only becomes obvious once decoration goes on.

Tacking in Winchet Hill FAQs
Yes, staggering joints between rows of boards is essential. Aligned joints running in a straight line create a weak point that is far more likely to crack once the wall or ceiling is skimmed and decorated.
