Self-Employed Subcontractor – Blinds & Awnings Installer

Location: Bridgwater & surrounding areas
Engagement: Self-employed subcontractor
Rates: Competitive subcontract rates, agreed according to the installation and scope of work

We are looking for an experienced and reliable self-employed Blinds & Awnings Installer to undertake blind, awning and window-covering installations for customers at residential and commercial properties.

This is a self-employed subcontractor opportunity, rather than an employed position. Installers will be responsible for their own tax and National Insurance arrangements and must provide their own suitable tools, vehicle and appropriate insurance cover.

The Role

The work will involve installing a range of blinds, awnings and window coverings at customer properties, ensuring installations are completed safely, accurately and to a professional standard.

Key responsibilities:

  • Measuring and installing blinds, awnings and window coverings

  • Completing installations professionally, efficiently and safely

  • Ensuring products are fitted securely and accurately

  • Providing a friendly and professional service to customers

  • Keeping customers informed during the installation

  • Maintaining a clean and tidy working area

  • Reporting any installation, product or measurement issues promptly

About You

We are looking for an installer who:

  • Has previous experience installing blinds or similar window coverings

  • Has excellent attention to detail

  • Takes pride in their workmanship and professionalism

  • Is reliable and punctual

  • Communicates well and provides good customer service

  • Can work independently and, where required, alongside other installers

  • Has their own suitable tools

  • Has their own suitable vehicle, as travel to customer properties is required

  • Holds appropriate insurance cover for the work undertaken

  • Is established as, or able to operate as, a self-employed subcontractor and can provide appropriate business and insurance documentation

Advantageous

  • Previous carpentry experience

  • Previous experience as a window fitter

  • Relevant CSCS card or site-access qualification

  • Relevant DBS check, where appropriate to the work undertaken

Essential Requirements

A full UK driving licence and suitable vehicle are essential, as the role involves travelling to customer properties throughout Bridgwater and the surrounding areas.

Applicants must have the legal right to undertake self-employed/subcontract work in the UK and be able to provide appropriate evidence where required.

Insurances would include but are not limited to:

    • Public Liability Insurance (minimum cover £5m)

    • Van / Commercial vehicle Insurance which includes business use

    • Goods in transit Insurance

    • Professional Indemnity Insurance

What We Offer

  • Competitive subcontract installation rates

  • Potential for regular installation work, subject to customer demand and availability

  • Flexible self-employed working arrangements

  • Potential for ongoing subcontract work for reliable installers

  • Work supplied within Bridgwater and surrounding areas

If you are an experienced blinds or awnings installer looking for regular subcontract installation opportunities, we would love to hear from you.
