We identify if your job requires CSCS certification and supply workers with valid CSCS cards for regulated roles. We verify card validity (not expired).

Common CSCS placements include construction sites, commercial fit-outs, refurbishment projects, and large-scale building works.

We don't do major plumbing (boiler work), major electrical (rewiring), structural work, or specialist trades requiring architects. For complex work, we identify if specialists are needed and can coordinate with licensed plumbers/electricians. Contact us to confirm if your specific task is in scope.

Are your handyman workers insured?

Yes. Insurance is non-negotiable. Coverage includes employer's liability insurance (protects you from worker injury claims), public liability insurance (protects against damage to property/third-party injury), professional indemnity (for advice/guidance given), and tools and equipment insurance.
