About the Role:

As a Floor Layer you will be working alongside Exeter city Council providing a stable and profitable contract, delivering excellent service and support through our local teams, who understand the importance of working together for the local community.

Your standard duties involve a comprehensive range of flooring tasks, each requiring specific skills and attention to detail. This includes renewing sheet vinyl, which involves accurately measuring, cutting, and laying the vinyl flat without bubbles or wrinkles, and ensuring proper seam sealing for durability. When working with tiles, including ceramic, you’ll need to cut tiles precisely to fit around obstacles, apply mortar or adhesive, and ensure even alignment. Grouting and sealing the tiles are essential for a polished finish. Installing cap and cove wet room floors requires creating a seamless, waterproof surface that curves up the walls to prevent water ingress, involving precise cutting and joint sealing. Preparations are crucial, including cleaning, repairing, and priming the floor surface to ensure the new flooring adheres well. Applying self-levelling compounds or screed is vital for creating a smooth, even base, involving mixing, pouring, and spreading the compound evenly, and allowing it to cure properly. Each task demands a thorough understanding of materials and techniques to achieve a professional and durable finish.

Role Criteria:

Previous Experience with Non-Slip Flooring: This indicates your familiarity with installing and maintaining flooring designed to prevent slips and falls, which is crucial in areas prone to moisture or heavy foot traffic.
