Bricklayers for Hertfordshire and the northern M25 corridor
The Hertfordshire requirements we handle sit between the two extremes: volume residential around Stevenage, Hatfield and Hemel Hempstead, and higher-specification private and commercial work through St Albans, Radlett and Berkhamsted. Most contractors calling us here want a gang that can switch between blockwork to inner leaf and a decent facing finish without needing to be split into two crews.
Geography works in your favour on this side of the M25. With the M1 and A1(M) either side of the county, we can pull trowels from north London, Luton and the Watford area into the same site without anyone facing a difficult commute.
Where Hertfordshire does bite is on conservation and greenbelt conditions — a lot of the St Albans and Berkhamsted work carries planning conditions on brick match and mortar colour. We will ask for the approved sample panel details when you brief us, and we would rather send trowels who have built to a sample panel sign-off than find out at first-lift inspection that they have not.
Every bricklayer is checked before they reach your gate
Vetting is done before we put someone forward, not after you have inducted them. The evidence sits in our compliance pack and we will send it for your PQQ.
CSCS card verified
Card checked against the CSCS Smart Check register, not accepted as a photo. Blue Skilled Worker as the baseline for a trowel.
NVQ Level 2 Trowel Occupations
We confirm the qualification behind the card, and hold a copy for your PQQ pack.
Right to work
Original documents or share code checked in person, with expiry dates tracked so nobody works past a visa end date.
Two site references
Contacted directly — usually the last site manager or gang ganger, asked specifically about output and quality of face work.
Trade test on request
For facing brick or feature work we can arrange a short practical or ask for photographs of recent elevations.
