This is a fantastic opportunity for a hands-on professional to join a busy team working on a mix of residential and commercial properties, ensuring structures are watertight, safe, and built to last.

Temping Agency specialises in connecting talented tradespeople with reputable local employers who need quality staff quickly. By applying through us for this Roofer position, you gain access to a streamlined hiring process, weekly payments, and a dedicated consultant who understands the local construction scene in Southampton. We manage the admin and payroll, allowing you to focus on your skilled trade. For employers looking to scale their team, our approach to hire staff efficiently mirrors the speed and reliability we offer to candidates, ensuring projects stay on schedule.
Key Responsibilities
- Carrying out the installation, repair, maintenance, and replacement of various roofing systems, including slate, tile, felt, metal, and composite materials on residential and commercial buildings across Southampton.
- Working from specifications and technical drawings to measure, cut, and fit roofing materials accurately and efficiently, ensuring all work complies with UK building regulations and safety standards.
- Performing weatherproofing tasks, including installing underlays, flashings, vents, and insulation to ensure complete protection against the elements for structures in the SO15 region.
- Conducting roof inspections and surveys, identifying faults, leaks, or structural damage, and providing clear recommendations and cost estimates for necessary repairs.
- Operating and maintaining all roofing tools and equipment safely, while adhering to strict health & safety protocols on-site, including working at height regulations and the use of PPE.
What We're Looking For
- Proven, hands-on experience as a Roofer within the UK construction industry. A relevant trade qualification (e.g., NVQ Level 2 in Roofing Occupations) or a solid apprenticeship background is highly advantageous.
- Comprehensive knowledge of different roofing materials, techniques, and building regulations. Experience with both traditional and modern roofing systems is preferred.
- A valid CSCS card (Construction Skills Certification Scheme) is essential for site access. Additional certifications such as IPAF, PASMA, or specific product training (e.g., for specific membrane systems) are beneficial.
- Strong focus on health and safety, quality of workmanship, reliability, and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team. Own basic tools and reliable transport for sites across Southampton SO15.
Salary & Benefits
We believe in rewarding skill and dedication fairly. For this Roofer role in Southampton SO15, we offer a highly competitive hourly or daily pay rate, commensurate with your level of experience, qualifications, and the specific project requirements. Pay is processed weekly, providing you with a reliable and regular income. While specific figures depend on the client and project scope, our rates are designed to attract and retain the best roofing talent in the region.
Your Benefits Package Includes:
- Weekly Pay: Get paid reliably every week, without the delays often associated with direct contracting.
- Holiday Pay Accrual: Your statutory holiday pay is calculated and accrued as you work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need my own tools and transport for this Roofer role?
Yes, for most roofing assignments, you will be expected to provide your own basic hand tools (e.g., hammers, trowels, cutting tools). Power tools are often supplied by the employer or site. Reliable transport is essential as sites are spread across the Southampton SO15 area and surrounding Hampshire regions.
How quickly can I start once I apply?
We pride ourselves on speed. For candidates with all necessary documents (CSCS card, right-to-work, references) ready, we can often facilitate a same-day or next-day registration and site induction, leading to an immediate start. Our process is designed for urgency, much like our last-minute placements service for employers.
Is there a possibility of this temporary role becoming permanent?
Absolutely. Many of our temporary placements are used by employers as an extended interview process. Demonstrating skill, reliability, and a good team fit on-site can frequently lead to a permanent job offer. We actively facilitate these temp-to-perm transitions where both parties are interested.
What safety certifications are required?
A valid CSCS Card is the fundamental requirement for most UK construction sites. Depending on the specific roofing tasks, additional certifications like Working at Height, Asbestos Awareness, or specific product training may be required. We can advise you on any necessary training and sometimes help source it. For a deeper dive into compliance, see our video:
