A typical day
On any typical day I can be anywhere in the UK and when arriving at the project location I would begin by surveying the installation locations and assisting with unloading the materials from the delivery transport.  Working to the survey instructions, the clients order would then be installed as per required.  On any given project I could be pointing, sealing, foaming and/or taping to finish with the project.  My normal end to the day would then to liaise with the client or site representative to complete a project inspection on the installation and signing off the work completed.

What do you like most about your job?
Fitting the product itself and being able to work with such a great team of people – “hard to come across that you get on with everyone”
Being able to stand back after completing a job and say with pride “I did that.”
Working with individuals with the same work ethic as myself that are constantly pushing to achieve more and better their skill sets and knowledge.
