Job Description
We are seeking a reliable, physically fit, and safety-conscious Demolition Labourer to join a major refurbishment and strip-out project in the London EC4 postcode. This is a hands-on, site-based role where you will be a crucial part of the team preparing structures for renovation or new construction. The employer is a well-established principal contractor known for high-profile commercial and residential projects across London. Working through Quick Placement offers you a direct gateway to this immediate opportunity, bypassing lengthy application processes and connecting you with a reputable employer who values skilled temporary labour.
As a specialist in construction staffing, we understand the specific demands of demolition work in a dense urban environment like London EC4.

You will be supported by our agency every step of the way, from a swift registration and vetting process to ongoing payroll and support, ensuring you can focus on the job at hand. This is more than just a labouring job; it’s a chance to build your experience on significant London projects.
Key Responsibilities
- Assisting with the safe and controlled demolition of internal structures, fixtures, and fittings using hand tools (sledgehammers, pry bars, drills) and power tools (breakers, saws).
- Manual handling, lifting, and carrying of demolition waste and materials, ensuring efficient segregation for recycling and disposal in designated skips and containers.
- Maintaining a clean, tidy, and hazard-free worksite by sweeping, clearing debris, and supporting general site housekeeping to ensure strict adherence to health and safety protocols.
- Working under the direction of the site supervisor or foreman, following method statements and risk assessments meticulously to ensure personal and team safety at all times.
- Supporting other trades on site as required, demonstrating teamwork and flexibility, which may include basic labouring duties for bricklayers, carpenters, or groundworkers.
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience as a Labourer, preferably within a demolition, strip-out, or heavy construction environment. A valid CSCS Card is highly advantageous.
- Excellent physical fitness and stamina for demanding manual work, with the ability to safely lift heavy materials and work on your feet for full shifts.
- A strong, unwavering commitment to health and safety. You must understand the importance of PPE, site signage, and safe working practices.
- Reliability, a positive attitude, and the ability to work effectively as part of a team. Punctuality and a professional approach are essential for this immediate start role.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a CSCS card to work as a Demolition Labourer in London EC4?
While not always an absolute requirement for every labouring role, holding a valid CSCS (Construction Skills Certification Scheme) card is highly preferred and often mandatory for sites run by principal contractors. It demonstrates your health and safety awareness and significantly increases your employability and potential pay rate. We can often advise on obtaining one if needed.
What kind of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) will I need?
Basic PPE for a demolition labourer always includes safety boots (with steel toe cap and midsole), a high-visibility vest, hard hat, and safety goggles. Gloves and ear defenders are also frequently required. The specific client may provide some items, but you are generally expected to have your own boots, hi-vis, and hard hat. We will confirm requirements upon placement.
How quickly can I actually start after applying?
For candidates with all documentation in order (right-to-work, references, any required cards), we aim for an immediate or next-day start. Our process, as shown in our video resources like "Speed Hiring Challenge", is designed for urgency. The"ASAP Start" label is a genuine reflection of our capability to fast-track vetted workers.
Is this a long-term role or just short-term work?
This specific Demolition Labourer role in London EC4 is initially temporary, linked to the current phase of the project. However, construction projects often have rolling requirements, and good performance typically leads to ongoing work on that site or immediate placement on another. We specialise in providing continuous work for reliable staff.
What are the typical shift patterns for demolition work in London?
Standard shifts are typically 8-10 hours, Monday to Friday, starting early (e.g., 7:30 or 8:00 am). Some sites may offer overtime on Saturdays. Due to noise restrictions in dense areas like EC4, weekend or evening work is less common but not impossible for internal soft-strip projects.
Can I apply if I have labouring experience but not specifically in demolition?
Absolutely. General construction labouring experience is a strong foundation. A willingness to learn, physical capability, and a safety-first mindset are the core attributes. We provide site-specific inductions, and you will work under supervision. We also recruit for many general construction staffing roles across London.
