Plasterer
Self-employed · London and the South East
Patches after a leak, full skims, and the walls that damp work leaves behind.
Who you would be working with
Simpled Services is a property maintenance and refurbishment company. We work for housing associations, letting agents, landlords and private clients, mostly in London and the South East, and on jobs across the rest of the UK.
More than 8,500 jobs have gone through us. Mould and damp, leaks, plumbing, painting, kitchens and bathrooms, full refurbishments, end of tenancy work. Some of it is a two hour repair. Some of it runs for months.
The work is run inside Plan@Job, our own platform. Your jobs, the address, the scope, your photos, your reports and your invoice all sit in one place, so nobody is chasing anybody through WhatsApp for a picture of a finished wall.
The role
Most of our plastering follows damp, mould or a leak. Walls get hacked off, treated and rebuilt, and the finish has to be flat enough for a decorator to follow you the next day.
There are full room and full property skims too, mostly in empty properties between tenants.
What the work is
- Patch and skim after damp, mould and leak repairs.
- Full room skims and reboarding where the wall cannot be saved.
- Leave a finish a decorator can work on without rescuing it.
- Photograph the wall before you cover the evidence of what caused it.
What we need from you
- Real plastering experience and your own tools.
- Public liability insurance, or willing to get it before your first job.
- The right to work in the UK, and registered as self-employed (CIS where the work is construction).
- Your own tools and your own transport.
- A phone you can take photos on. Every job is signed off with pictures.
The pay
Paid per job. The price is agreed with you before the work starts, and it does not change afterwards.
Please do not apply if
- You want a fixed weekly wage. This is self-employed work, paid per job.
- You leave a job at 60 percent and move on. We send the same people back to the same clients.
- Photos and paperwork annoy you. They are how you get paid on time.
