Hard Hat is a specialist construction recruitment agency supplying gatemans to construction sites across Staines-upon-Thames & North Surrey. We work exclusively in construction — no white-collar generalism, no admin temps — so when you register with us you go on the books of recruiters who actually understand the trade.
Gatemen are responsible for controlling access to construction sites, checking credentials, logging visitors, managing deliveries, and maintaining site security. Hard Hat supplies experienced, CSCS-carded gatemen who understand the importance of maintaining strict access controls on busy construction sites. Our gatemen are reliable, professional, and experienced in working with Tier 1 contractors who require high standards of site access management. We supply gatemen for residential developments, commercial projects, and infrastructure schemes across London and the South East.
Staines-upon-Thames sits at a strategic junction of the M25 and M3, making it a hub for commercial and residential construction across North Surrey and the western M25 corridor.

Hard Hat supplies vetted construction operatives and skilled tradespeople to contractors working across Staines, Ashford, Sunbury-on-Thames, Shepperton, and Laleham. Our proximity to key transport routes means we can mobilise workers rapidly to sites throughout the Spelthorne borough and surrounding areas.
