Construction labour & trades in St Austell
Half an hour across the A30 and A391. Strong housing development area.
St Austell and the clay country around it have carried more large-scale residential development than most of Cornwall. That work needs bodies in volume and in sequence, which is exactly what a labour supply agency is for. We supply groundworkers through to decorators across the St Austell area.
What we do in St Austell
Volume housing
Development sites here run to a programme, and falling behind on one trade holds up three others. When you need six groundworkers next Monday rather than one good one next month, that's the job we're built for.
The coastal villages
Charlestown, Pentewan, Mevagissey and Fowey bring a completely different kind of work — tight access, older stone properties, and a lot of holiday let stock that needs maintaining between bookings.
Par, St Blazey and the eastern edge
We work the whole strip out towards Fowey and Lostwithiel. From Newquay it's a straightforward run, so it's normal territory for us rather than an outlier.
Getting to you
Roughly 30 minutes from Newquay. Site labour within the week, usually faster for general labour.
We also cover Charlestown, Par, St Blazey, Pentewan, Mevagissey, Fowey, Lostwithiel and Roche.

Common questions
Can you supply a full multi-trade team for a housing site?
Yes, and it's a lot of what we do. Tell us the programme and the trade sequence and we'll staff it stage by stage rather than dumping everyone on site in week one.
Do you cover holiday properties around Mevagissey and Fowey?
Yes. Access is often the real problem in those villages rather than the work itself — narrow lanes, no parking, sometimes a walk-in. Flag it when you book and we'll plan for it.
Areas we cover
We work the whole county. These are the areas we are in most often — if your job is somewhere else in Cornwall, ring us anyway.
