Job Description

Carer Agency is acting on behalf of a leading construction and maintenance contractor specialising in high-end residential and commercial properties across central London.

This role is critical for maintaining the structural integrity and weatherproofing of some of London's most iconic buildings.

Our client values quality workmanship and reliability above all, and they are known for offering long-term opportunities to temporary staff who prove their worth.

Applying through Carer Agency gives you direct access to this exclusive opportunity without the usual delays of direct applications. We streamline the process, handle the negotiations, and ensure you are paid accurately and on time, every week. As a specialist in London recruitment, we understand the local market's demands and the specific skills required for W1 postcode projects. This isn't just another labouring job; it's a chance to work on prestigious sites where your expertise as a Roofer is genuinely valued and well-compensated. We also have a wide network, so performing well in this role could open doors to numerous other projects, similar to the opportunities we provide for construction workers in other regions.

Key Responsibilities

• Installing, repairing, and maintaining various roofing systems including pitched roofs (slate, tile, shingle) and flat roofs (felt, fibreglass, EPDM) on properties within London W1.
• Stripping old roof coverings, preparing roof decks, fitting insulation, and installing vapour barriers to current building regulations.
• Fitting flashings, gutters, downpipes, and other rainwater systems to ensure complete weatherproofing and drainage.
• Working safely at height, rigorously adhering to all site-specific and company health & safety protocols, including method statements and risk assessments.
• Performing general maintenance, conducting leak investigations, and carrying out emergency repairs as required, ensuring mínimal disruption in busy central London locations.

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience as a Roofer is essential, with a solid portfolio of completed projects. Experience working on listed buildings or in central London is a significant advantage.
• Valid CSCS Card is mandatory. Additional certifications such as IPAF, PASMA, or specific roofing qualifications (e.g., NVQ Level 2 in Roofing Occupations) are highly desirable.
• Own reliable transport and a full UK driving licence are required due to the central location and early start times. You must be able to commute to London W1 reliably.
• A strong, proactive work ethic, the ability to work independently and as part of a team, and excellent problem-solving skills when faced with roofing challenges on older buildings.

Salary & Benefits

We believe in transparently rewarding skill and effort. For this Roofer position in London W1, we offer a highly competitive hourly rate, typically ranging from £18 to £24 per hour, dependent on your specific experience, qualifications, and the project's complexity. Rates for specialist work on heritage properties can be even higher. This is significantly above the market average for general labour, reflecting the skill level and the central London location premium.

In addition to excellent pay, you will benefit from:

• Weekly Pay: You will be paid every Friday without fail, giving you financial stability and peace of mind.
• Holiday Pay Accrual: Your statutory holiday pay is accrued as you work, ready for you to take when you need a break.
• Temp-to-Perm Pathway: Many of our temporary assignments lead to permanent offers for workers who excel. This role has a clear pathway to a long-term position.
