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.

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.
