Solar Roofing Team (Subcontract) – Reading, Thames Valley & West London

£450 to £1,000+ per job for the team · Job by job · Solar roof installation, our electricians do the rest · Kit delivered to site

Are you an experienced roofer running a small team that already knows solar? We need a subcontract roofing team to install domestic solar PV from the Thames Valley into west London: Reading, Wokingham, Bracknell, Maidenhead, Slough and Windsor, through Staines and Hounslow to Twickenham, Richmond and Kingston. You take the roof; our own electricians do the rest.

About MakeMyHouseGreen

MakeMyHouseGreen is a UK solar and battery installer. Customers design their own system on our website, then our team surveys, supplies and installs it. We have installed hundreds of systems across England with our own electricians and roofers and trusted partner teams, and we care about getting every roof right first time.

What you will do

• Fit roof hooks, rails and panels on domestic pitched roofs: concrete interlocking tile, plain tile and natural slate.
• Lift and replace tiles and slates around fixings, make good, and leave every roof watertight.
• Fit bird-proofing mesh where the customer has ordered it.
• Work to the manufacturer's instructions and MCS 012, alongside our electrician on the same visit.
• Take before and after photos of the roof for our records.

Who we are looking for

• A team of at least two, led by a roofer with 10+ years on pitched roofs.
• At least 4 years fitting domestic solar PV mounting and panels.
• Self-employed and CIS registered, with your own van, tools and full UK driving licence.
• Public liability insurance of at least £5 million.
• CSCS card and asbestos awareness training (we work on a lot of older homes).
• Safe at height on scaffold, with working-at-height training.
• Based in the Thames Valley or west London, and able to cover jobs from Reading in to Twickenham.

Nice to have

• NVQ Level 2 or 3 in Roofing Occupations.
• In-roof systems, or flat-roof ballasted mounting such as Van der Valk.
• Experience with Fastensol or Clenergy mounting.
• Photos of recent solar roofs you have done, and a customer or contractor reference.

How it works

• Job by job. We offer you installs in your area and you take the ones that fit your diary.
• Most domestic roofs take one day; bigger systems run to two.
• Paid per job on our rate card: £450 to £1,000+ for the team, set by system size, with extras for slate and bird-proofing.
• All kit and mounting delivered to site, scaffold up before you arrive, and a survey with roof photos on every job before you go.
• Our electricians do the electrics, testing and commissioning.

How to apply

Apply through Indeed with a few lines on your team, where you are based, and how many solar roofs you have done. Photos of recent work help. We reply to every team that meets the essentials. The process is a short call, then a paid first install at the full rate.

Pay: £450.00-£600.00 per day
