About the Company & Role:
We are a well-established flooring contractor experiencing a period of sustained growth. As a result, we are looking to expand our team of reliable subcontractors by recruiting experienced and highly skilled Soft Floor Layers for projects based in and around the Hebburn area.
Unlike short-term agency roles, we have a secured, continuous pipeline of both high-end domestic and commercial projects.

Key Responsibilities & Duties:
As a core member of the installation team, you will be expected to handle projects from the initial sub-floor assessment right through to the final hand-over. Your day-to-day duties will include:
Subfloor Preparation: Carrying out extensive prep work, including lifting old floor coverings, diamond grinding, applying damp proof membranes (DPM), ply-boarding, feathering, and applying self-levelling screeds/compounds to ensure a flawless foundation.
LVT Installation: Installing complex Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) layouts, including straight-lay, herringbone, features strips, and border work to an exceptionally high standard.
Commercial & Soft Flooring: Fitting traditional linoleum (lino), safety flooring (including cap and coving/vertical vinyl wrapping where required), and heavy-duty carpet tiles in commercial environments.
Hardwood Flooring: Laying engineered and solid hardwood flooring, ensuring correct expansion gaps and neat transitions.
Snagging & Finishing: Ensuring all finishing details-such as door profiles, stair nosings, welding joints, and mastic sealing-are executed cleanly and professionally.
Candidate Requirements:
To be considered for this role, you must meet the following criteria:
Experience: Minimum of 3-5 years of proven experience in soft flooring installation and advanced floor preparation. You must be comfortable working independently and working to tight tolerances.
Credentials: Must hold a valid CSCS Card (Blue Skilled Worker card preferred) and be fully registered under the CIS (Construction Industry Scheme) with a valid UTR number.
Tools & Transport: Must possess a full inventory of your own professional flooring tools (including rollers, mixers, screed trowels, and welding guns) and have your own reliable transport to get to and from sites in Hebburn.
Work Ethic: Punctual, reliable, and able to maintain a clean and safe working environment while representing the company professionally on-site.
What We Offer:
Competitive Pay: A flat, reliable rate of £25.00 per hour paid via CIS.
Job Security: A guaranteed, continuous pipeline of upcoming projects-keep your diary full for the foreseeable future.
Immediate Starts: We have active sites ready to go right now.
