Plumber Recruitment in London and the South East
Hard Hat is a specialist construction recruitment agency supplying plumbers to construction sites across London, the M25 and the South East. 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.
Plumbers handle water supply, drainage, heating systems, and sanitary installations on construction projects. Hard Hat supplies qualified plumbers holding CSCS cards and NVQ qualifications for both new build and refurbishment work. Our plumbers cover 1st fix roughing-in, 2nd fix connections, and complete bathroom installations. We supply to residential developers, commercial fit-out contractors, and maintenance companies across London and the South East.
Whether you are looking for your next plumber job, want a contractor to swap into a better-paying site, or you are a main contractor needing reliable plumber supply, we mobilise quickly. We supply to Tier 1 and Tier 2 contractors on residential, commercial, fit-out, civils and infrastructure projects.
