A Construction Staffing Agency Built for Employers
Finding dependable labour at short notice is the single biggest headache for construction employers — and it's exactly why Staff Direct exists. As a specialist construction staffing agency, we supply temporary and permanent construction staff to main contractors, subcontractors, developers and facilities teams across London and the wider UK, from single-day cover to long-term temporary construction workforce solutions.
Whether you need one CSCS labourer for a week or a full crew for a multi-phase build, our construction staffing solutions are designed around the realities of site work: tight programmes, last-minute drop-outs and strict compliance requirements. Every worker we place is CSCS-checked, right-to-work verified and briefed on site-specific health and safety before they set foot on your project, so as a construction staffing company we're judged not on promises but on who actually shows up.
Learn more about who we are, how our approach to construction recruitment differs from a typical trade staffing agency, and the track record behind our experience supplying skilled trade staffing across the construction industry.
