Labourer Recruitment UK
General site labour: clearing, moving materials, assisting trades, keeping the site safe and tidy. The backbone of every job. Tell us how many, when and where, and we supply vetted, carded labourers who cover your site.
We'll be in touch on the number you gave us, usually within the hour during site hours. Nothing else to do for now.
What we check before a labourer reaches your site
Every labourer we supply is vetted locally before they're offered to you. As a minimum:
- CSCS green card
- Right-to-work checks
- Manual handling
- Right-to-work checked and references taken
Plant tickets, coding certificates and cards are verified against the issuing scheme, not just sighted.

What employers say
Feedback from businesses we've supplied across the UK.
"Needed six labourers and two brickies for a start on the Monday. Sent the request Thursday afternoon, had the names and CSCS numbers back by Friday morning and every one of them turned up. That's rare."
Groundworks contractor, Lancashire"We'd been let down twice by other suppliers on a fit-out in the town centre. These lot filled the gap with a couple of decent joiners within a day and stuck with us through to handover."
Fit-out contractor, Greater Manchester"Used them for a site manager cover over the summer. Vetting was proper, paperwork was sorted before day one, and the guy they sent knew what he was doing. Will use again for the next phase."
