From single walls to whole-house jobs, R Kenward Plastering Contractors carries out tacking throughout Wittersham, Kent. Boards measured, cut, and screwed into place with staggered joints, creating a strong, level surface ready for jointing and skimming.
Russ Kenward covers Wittersham and the surrounding Kent area on the same local round that takes in Wilsley Pound, Woodsden and the towns around them.
Properties across Kent, Wittersham included, vary enormously, from older cottages to newer housing, and tacking is adapted to suit whichever a Wittersham 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 Wittersham property is period or modern.
