Position: Carpenter/ Multi trade

Location: London

My Story:

I work on the voids team, doing a wide variety of trades including carpentry, plumbing, plastering and painting to name a few. Over the last year I have been working as a locksmith, changing the locks when properties become empty. I also inspect our sub-contractors work, checking that health and safety standards are being met and that jobs are completed on time and properly.

One of the most important aspects of my job is to get the locks changed quickly so workmen and inspectors can get into properties and begin work. There is always a need for homes so it’s important that properties are turned around ready for new tenants to move in.

Being a multi-skilled tradesman means I need to be able to turn my hand to a wide variety of work and I really enjoy the variety this brings both to the jobs I get given and in terms of working in lots of different places.
