The Problem
Finding Quality Work Shouldn't Be This Hard
The roofing trade runs on word of mouth, WhatsApp groups and agencies that treat you like a number. Skilled operatives with real system experience are invisible to hirers who need them most.
😤
Agencies take a cut — and still send you to jobs that don't match your skills
📱
WhatsApp groups are chaotic, unreliable and dry up at the worst time
🔍
Your specialist skills — manufacturer approvals, system certifications — go unrecognised
💷
Day rates are inconsistent — no transparency on what the market actually pays

Manufacturer Approvals
Your Approved Status Matters Here
Roofing Source is the only labour platform where manufacturer approvals are declared per specific system. Hirers can see exactly who is approved for their specified product before hiring.
This is a major differentiator — approved operatives unlock warranty contract work and command higher day rates.

Common Questions
Everything You Need To Know
Is it really free to join as an operative?
+
Yes — completely free. Operatives never pay a platform fee at any point. We charge hirers only. Your full agreed day rate always goes directly to you with no deductions.
How do I get paid?
+
Payments are handled securely through the platform via Stripe. You receive your full agreed day rate. Platform fees are charged separately to the hirer — you never see a deduction from your rate.
Do I need a CSCS card?
+
A CSCS card is required for full verification and significantly increases your placement opportunities. Operatives without one can still sign up but will have limited visibility to hirers who require CSCS verification.
Can I set my own day rate?
+
Yes. You set your own day rate on your profile. The platform suggests a regional market rate based on your postcode and experience level — but you decide what you charge.
What if I'm already working — can I still be on the platform?
+
Absolutely. Just set your availability to show when you'll next be free. Hirers can see your profile and plan ahead. Update your availability anytime from your phone dashboard.
What is the anti-circumvention clause?
+
All users agree to a 6-month anti-circumvention clause. This means a hirer cannot engage you directly outside the platform within 6 months of being introduced through Roofing Source. If they do, a £500 penalty applies per operative. This protects your earnings and ensures you benefit from every connection made through the platform.
Do I need to be CIS registered?
+
CIS registration is not required to join but is declared on your profile. Many hirers specifically require CIS registered operatives so being registered significantly increases your placement opportunities.
