Hard Hat supplies skilled floor layers for residential developments, commercial fit-outs, retail environments, and healthcare facilities across London and the South East. Our floor layers are experienced in subfloor preparation, moisture testing, and the installation of flooring systems to manufacturer specifications.
Kent is one of the fastest-growing construction regions in the South East, with major housing developments, the Thames Gateway regeneration programme, and significant infrastructure projects including HS1 and Lower Thames Crossing preparatory works. Hard Hat supplies construction workforce across Kent including Dartford, Maidstone, Canterbury, Ashford, and Tunbridge Wells.
