Painter & Decorator Recruitment Across the UK
Hard Hat is a specialist construction recruitment agency supplying painter & decorators to construction sites across London, the M25 and the wider UK. 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.
Painters and decorators handle all finishing and surface preparation work including priming, painting, wallpapering, and specialist finishes. Hard Hat supplies skilled painters for commercial fit-outs, residential new builds, and refurbishment projects. The operatives we supply are experienced in both brush and spray application, and many have specialist experience in areas such as fire-rated coatings, anti-graffiti treatments, and high-end decorative finishes. All painters hold CSCS cards and are vetted before placement.
Whether you are looking for your next painter & decorator job, want a contractor to swap into a better-paying site, or you are a main contractor needing reliable painter & decorator supply, we mobilise quickly. We supply to Tier 1 and Tier 2 contractors on residential, commercial, fit-out, civils and infrastructure projects.
