Tacking is one of the services most requested across Woodsden 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.
As a East Sussex based team working out of Beckley, we treat Woodsden as part of our home patch, along with nearby Argos Hill and Seacox Heath.
For Woodsden properties, leave appropriate expansion gaps at floor and ceiling junctions, then check the finished surface is flat and securely fixed before jointing or skimming begins. Every tacking job in Woodsden follows the same sequence, whatever the size of the property or the room in Woodsden.
