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 carries out tacking for homes and businesses across Woods Corner and the wider East Sussex area, bringing 25+ years of hands-on plastering experience to every job.
We look after homes and businesses throughout Woods Corner in East Sussex, and regularly work in neighbouring areas such as Swiftsden and Witherenden Hill.
For a job in Woods Corner, the process starts with a proper assessment of the Woods Corner 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 Woods Corner job, because the quality of tacking only becomes obvious once decoration goes on.
Homeowners and builders across Woods Corner choose R Kenward Plastering Contractors for tacking because the quote is fixed, the work is tidy, and the finish is right first time. Call 07850 161812 to book a free Woods Corner survey.
