Job Description

ABOUT JDI

Just Does It is a building contractor working across West London and surrounding areas. We specialise in exterior refurbishment, flat roofing, leadwork, interior refurbishment and general maintenance including painting and decorating, on both commercial and domestic property. We work as a main contractor on a wide range of buildings, including many listed ones, and we work closely with surveyors and property managing agents to deliver work to a high, sustainable and professional standard.

THE ROLE

We are looking for a Painter & Decorator to join JDI's directly employed and self-employed teams. You will work on exterior renovation from scaffold and on internal common parts and domestic redecoration — mostly on period buildings and mansion blocks around London. This is skilled decorating, not rolling magnolia: preparation and finish are what the client is paying for, and what we will judge the work on.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Preparation of walls, ceilings and all timber surfaces to a standard that carries the finish.
• External renovation: woodwork, masonry and metalwork, working safely from scaffold.
• Filling (Toupret), glazing, putty work with Dryseal, and minor window care.
• High-quality finishing in eggshell, emulsion, stain, varnish and gloss.
• Internal redecoration, wallpaper and lining paper hanging.
• Keeping the work area clean and clearing up properly at the end of each day.

REQUIREMENTS

• Painting & Decorating NVQ (Level 2 minimum).
• CSCS card — blue (Skilled Worker) as a minimum.
• At least 5 years' experience on period exterior buildings and common parts.
• Confident and safe working from scaffold.
• Your own professional tools for the trade.
• Full PPE, good spoken English, and clear communication on site.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU

• Rates above market, paid direct — no agency in the middle.
• Incentive plans on top of base pay.
• Real work on real buildings — listed buildings, mansion blocks and period properties. The kind of work you'll be proud to point at.
• High standards, the right way. We do the job properly, finish what we start, and the standard of finish matters because the client is paying attention.
• Steady work, organised sites — materials ready, instructions clear, payment on time.
