Job Overview
We install floor insulation – predominantly from below, working within the crawl space under traditional timber suspended ground floors. These spaces can be roomy but are often tight squeezes – so you must be slim, relatively small in stature and totally comfortable working in confined spaces – able to get through holes in sleeper walls and floorboards no bigger than a piece of A3 paper!
You will be working with a small, friendly team, mostly around South and West London (occasionally further afield). You will be in full, provided PPE: overalls, full face mask/respirator, balaclava, arm guards, knee pads, and will wriggle around under floors to cut mineral wood insulation slabs, fit between the floor joists and staplegun wire mesh to secure it. It is absolutely crucial that you have a built-in desire to do a proper job, efficiently: rigorously installing the insulation into all corners and edges and never cutting corners.
In some cases, where there isn’t enough space to get under the floor, we will lift the floorboards to install from above. This requires the confidence to do so, working quite delicately and with a problem-solving, can-do mentality: lifting boards without damage (to the boards or surroundings: skirting boards, hearths, door frames etc), taking care around cables and pipes, using multitools and mini circular saws etc carefully and precisely, working out how to access difficult corners.
The work is project-based: one or two jobs a week, each taking 1-3 days typically (larger jobs might be up to 5 days) and working the hours required to complete the project – e.g. we often work three days a week but for 10-12 hours per day to get the job done.
This role WILL NOT suit anyone looking for a solid 9-to-5, five days per week. It WILL suit someone looking for 1-3 days’ work most but not all weeks (often starting on a Monday, but not always) within a friendly, civilised team. It WILL suit the self-employed: handymen; artisans looking to earn decent money part-time in tandem with their craft work; hands-on problem-solvers who work on a project basis in their industry but have gaps to fill. If you are good in front of customers and enjoy chatting to them, that is ideal.
Pay is by the hour, with no time knocked off for lunch breaks etc: i.e. if you work 08:00-18:00 you’ll get paid the full 10 hours.
Initial trial day is at £20/hour. Pay can be increased based on experience and reliability.
