Frequently Asked Questions

Painter & decorator recruitment in Leeds โ€” your questions answered.

How quickly can you supply painters and decorators to my Leeds site?

Q

For standard decorator placements in Leeds, we can typically supply qualified operatives the same day if your request is received before 2pm. We maintain an active pool of pre-vetted painters and decorators registered across West Yorkshire and available for immediate deployment. Larger crews or specialist roles โ€” such as heritage decorating or spray application operatives โ€” may require 24 to 48 hours' notice. For long-term contracts, we recommend providing at least one week's notice to build the right team for your project requirements.

Do your decorators hold CSCS cards and what level?

Q

Yes โ€” every painter and decorator placed by Team Labourer Agency holds a valid CSCS card appropriate to their trade level. Most experienced decorators hold the Blue CSCS Skilled Worker card, awarded upon completion of a recognised painting and decorating qualification such as an NVQ Level 2 or Level 3. Improvers and apprentices will typically hold the Red Trainee card. We verify all CSCS certification before registration and monitor expiry dates proactively, ensuring full compliance with CITB and Health & Safety Executive requirements on every placement.

Can you supply decorator teams for new build programmes in Leeds?

Q

Absolutely. New build finishing programmes are one of our core specialisms in West Yorkshire. Volume housebuilders typically require decorators to work to tight plot-completion schedules, often across multiple plots simultaneously. We can supply scalable decorator teams โ€” from two operatives to twenty or more โ€” and adjust crew sizes week-by-week to align with your build programme. Our decorators are experienced with leading housebuilder standards, two-coat emulsion regimes, gloss finishing schedules, and the speed-to-completion requirements typical of new build residential contracts. Visit our painters & decorators service page for full details.

How does payroll and CIS work for temporary decorators?

Q

Team Labourer Agency manages all payroll and CIS obligations for temporary workers on your behalf. Decorators are paid weekly by BACS every Friday. We handle CIS verification with HMRC, applying the correct deduction rate (20% for registered subcontractors, 30% for unregistered), and submit monthly CIS300 returns. You receive a single consolidated weekly invoice covering all placements, with no hidden charges. This structure eliminates your IR35 and CIS compliance risk entirely. For more information on how our recruitment approach protects your business, speak to one of our consultants on +44 203 086 8984.
