Work that is still there next month
You know the other sort of firm. Flat out for a fortnight, then the phone goes quiet and you are ringing round again. Good money one month and nothing the next is not good money.
SG has been building since 2005 with a settled team — the same faces on site, week in, week out. Twenty years in Caterham, and moved down the road to Godstone this spring. Pub fit-outs for national operators one month, an extension on a Surrey house the next.
We are not always hiring, and we will not pretend otherwise. What we can do is know about you before the next role goes out.
Why people stay
Six things, and the reason behind each one.
The same faces, week in, week out
SG runs a settled team rather than a new crew every job. You will know who is on site with you on Monday, and they will know you. That is the difference between a trade you enjoy and one you tolerate.
The work is priced and programmed before you get there
The scope is written, the materials are ordered and the sequence is set before anyone turns up. So you are doing your trade, not standing in a car park waiting for somebody to decide what is happening.
Real trades, kept in-house
Roofing, carpentry, plastering, and kitchen and bathroom fitting are on our own books — not farmed out. If that is what you do, you would be doing it here, not managing somebody else doing it.
Local work, not a two-hour commute
Domestic work stays within about ten miles of the office — Caterham for twenty years, Godstone since this spring — and commercial runs across the South East. You are not spending two hours of your own time getting to a site.
Still here since 2005
Twenty years, through two recessions. Plenty of firms your mates have worked for are not.
The variety without the chaos
Pub and bar fit-outs for national operators one month, an extension on a Surrey house the next. Different work, same team, same way of running a job.

Tell us what you do
Five short steps. We keep it on file with your trade, your patch and what you are after, and pass it to YourRecruit so you are matched to a role rather than hunting for one.
