We are seeking surfacing operatives to join our busy team. Ideally you will have some relevant qualifications and experience although full training will be offered to suitable candidates. Working from our Kendal base you will be part of a team laying asphalt and associated groundworks to domestic, commercial and industrial sites. The work is varied and it comes with ever changing weather so never a dull moment. Holders of a LGV licence with quarry experience would be at an advantage but this is not essential.

At the end of the first week back at work in 2022 it is time for a quick reflection on the previous year in a long overdue post.
A very testing year all round for everyone, 2021 sped by with alarming pace. Our workload increased and we became very stretched. Thank you to all our understanding customers, past, present and future for your understanding for any delays or other issues encountered. Thanks to our staff for holding it all together. 2022 is starting with a full order book with a long waiting list. Hopefully this year, pressures will ease and we can all enjoy finding a new normal without the issues of the last few years which impacted everyone in so many ways.
2022 will hopefully see more regular updates and pictures. We appreciate your feedback but must make you aware that Facebook messaging is rarely monitored so if you need to get in touch please email [email protected]
We look forward to being of service in 2022, enjoy a few pictures from a few of last years projects and look out for some case studies on our website.
