We are the largest provider of repairs, maintenance, and regeneration services across the UK. Mears offers tailored rapid-response and planned maintenance services through partnerships with over 70 local authorities, Arm’s Length Management Organisations, and Housing Associations.
About the Role:
As a Floor Layer working alongside Dover Council, you will deliver a stable and profitable contract, providing excellent service and support through our local teams, who understand the importance of working collaboratively for the community.
Your duties include a range of flooring tasks such as renewing sheet vinyl, accurately measuring, cutting, and laying vinyl smoothly, and sealing seams for durability. When working with tiles, including ceramic, you will cut tiles precisely, apply mortar or adhesive, and ensure even alignment, with grouting and sealing for a polished finish. Installing cap and cove wet room floors involves creating seamless, waterproof surfaces that curve up the walls to prevent water ingress, requiring precise cutting and sealing. Preparation tasks include cleaning, repairing, and priming floors to ensure proper adhesion. Applying self-levelling compounds or screed involves mixing, pouring, and spreading evenly, followed by curing to create a smooth base. Each task demands a good understanding of materials and techniques to achieve professional, durable results.
