Trades World Solutions places permanent trades and property maintenance staff for UK contractors, housing operators and facilities providers. One named consultant, a written brief, and a vetted shortlist within a working week.
"They do not send time-wasters. The two electricians they sent for our void team last month were both on site within the fortnight, both still with us."
Trades, multi-trades and property maintenance leads for UK contractors, social housing operators, FM providers and private estates. Tickets verified, references checked, six-month outcomes.
NICEIC / NAPIT-registered, JIB-graded electricians for domestic, commercial and reactive maintenance.
Time-served plumbers for domestic, commercial and void works. Compliance-aware and reliable.
Gas Safe registered engineers for boiler installs, servicing, breakdown and commercial gas work.
Site, joinery shop and second-fix carpenters. CSCS-carded with a verifiable track record.
Float & set, dry-lining, skim and rendering specialists for new build and refurb.
CITB-trained P&Ds for domestic, commercial, voids and high-spec residential work.
Pitched, flat and felt roofers, tilers and slaters. Heights ticket and CSCS verified.
Drainage, kerbing, slabbing and concrete-pour specialists. Plant tickets where required.
True multi-skilled tradespeople for void teams, reactive maintenance and small-works contractors.
Working supervisors, contracts managers and PM team leaders for housing and FM operators.
We verify the cards, check the references, and stand behind the people we send to site.
The consultant who takes your brief is the one who shortlists, briefs candidates, negotiates the offer and follows up post-start. No handoffs.
Most live trades briefs receive their first qualified shortlist within a week. Specialist briefs may take a fortnight, we will tell you upfront.
CSCS, NICEIC, Gas Safe, JIB, asbestos awareness, working at height - all checked before a CV reaches your desk.
Every permanent placement carries a free replacement period. If a hire does not stick within the agreed window, we re-run the search at no charge.
References from previous foremen and PMs, not just HR. We know the difference between someone who reads well on paper and someone who turns up Monday.
The brief, the vetting, the offer support, and the day-7 / 30 / 90 follow-ups. All built around hires that stay on the firm.
A clear four-step process. No drawn-out kick-offs, no dropped balls.
A 30-minute call. We capture the role, the site mix, the must-have tickets, the rate band and the start window. Written brief returned.
Tickets, references, right-to-work and motivation - all checked. Three to five candidates per brief with our written notes.
We coordinate the offer, manage counter-offer pressure and line up the start date so the offer holds.
Day 7, 30 and 90 check-ins with both sides. We close the loop on every trades hire we place.
Trades hiring has its own rhythm. The shortlist matters more than the volume. The tickets, the temperament and the willingness to actually turn up Monday morning decide whether a multi-trades or a gas engineer is still on the firm at six months. Generalist agencies miss the signals.
NICEIC, NAPIT, Gas Safe, JIB grade, CSCS card, asbestos awareness, working-at-height - all confirmed against issuing bodies before any CV is sent. We will not waste your time with cards you cannot rely on.
We speak to the previous foreman or property maintenance lead, not just the HR department. We ask the questions that matter on site: did they turn up, did they finish, did they cause friction? The answers tell us whether the candidate is a six-month hire.
White-collar professional services, executive search and clinical healthcare sit best with sector specialists. We will tell you within one call if we are not the right fit.
