What CSCS card do labourers need?

Most construction sites require a minimum of a CSCS Green Card (Labourer card), obtained through the Health, Safety & Environment test. Some sites operated by principal contractors require a CSCS Blue Skilled Worker Card. We verify card type and expiry before placement.

Can you supply CSCS labourers at short notice?

Yes — for most locations we can supply CSCS-verified labourers within 24 hours for urgent requirements.

Do your labourers carry their own PPE?

We ask all labourers to attend site with basic PPE (hard hat, hi-vis, safety boots). Specialist PPE should be provided by the principal contractor for site-specific requirements.

What is the typical day rate for a CSCS labourer?

CSCS labourer day rates vary by location and site type. London rates are typically higher than regional markets. Contact us for current rates in your area.

Why It's Hard to Find CSCS Labourers in Birmingham

Demand for CSCS-verified labourers consistently outstrips supply across the UK, particularly in major cities and active housebuilding regions. Many workers carry multiple commitments and short-notice availability is limited without a strong agency pipeline.

Birmingham rates are competitive with other major regional cities — typically above the national average for experienced trades.
