Roofer Recruitment in Kent — Specialist Construction Agency
Hard Hat is a specialist construction recruitment agency supplying roofers to construction sites across Kent & South East London. 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.
Roofers install, repair, and maintain roofing systems on residential and commercial buildings. Hard Hat supplies qualified roofers experienced in flat roofing (single-ply, felt, GRP), pitched roofing (tiles, slates), and specialist systems (green roofs, metal cladding). Our roofers hold CSCS cards and NVQ qualifications, and many have manufacturer-approved training for specific roofing systems. We supply to house builders, commercial contractors, and specialist roofing companies across London and the South East.
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.
Whether you are looking for your next roofer job in Kent, want a contractor to swap into a better-paying site, or you are a main contractor needing reliable roofer supply, we mobilise quickly. We supply to Tier 1 and Tier 2 contractors on residential, commercial, fit-out, civils and infrastructure projects.
