About us
MakeMyHouseGreen is a growing UK solar installation company. We quote, design, and install in-house, and we're MCS-registered. Every panel we fit sits on someone's roof — so good roofing is at the heart of what we do. We're bringing that work in-house and training the next person up ourselves, rather than always relying on subcontractors.
The role
We're looking for a roofing apprentice to learn the trade with us across London. You'll earn while you learn — working on real domestic jobs alongside experienced roofers and our solar install team, with day or block release to college to work towards your Level 2 Diploma in Roofing Occupations.
No previous experience needed. We care far more about attitude, reliability, and a genuine willingness to learn than about what's already on your CV. If you're keen, turn up ready to graft, and want to come out the other side with a proper recognised qualification and a trade for life, we want to hear from you.
Steady, predictable work — around three domestic installs a week that the team works through together. Time to do the job right, and to learn it properly along the way.
What you'll be doing
- Learning to strip, prepare, lay, and weather roofs — tile and slate — under the guidance of experienced roofers
- Working safely at height, with full training, supervision, and PPE provided
- Helping the install team get systems mounted and roofs watertight, first time
- Learning to "read" a roof and spot what a job needs
- Attending college and completing your coursework towards your qualification
- Mucking in, keeping sites tidy and safe, and building real hands-on skill week by week
Must-haves
- Right to work in the UK and eligible to start a UK apprenticeship
- Reliable, punctual, and professional — the kind of person a team can count on
- Comfortable working at height, or genuinely open to learning (no experience required)
- Physically up for outdoor, hands-on work in all weathers
- GCSEs in maths and English, or the willingness to work towards Functional Skills as part of the apprenticeship
- Able to get to sites across London — most are reachable by public transport, and we'll sort travel for the further ones
- A good attitude and a genuine want to learn the trade
Nice-to-haves
- Any prior construction, site, or labouring experience
- A CSCS card (or we'll help you get the Apprentice card)
- Some awareness of working safely at height
- A full UK driving licence (handy, but not essential in London)
- An interest in renewables and the clean energy transition
What's in it for you
- A fully funded apprenticeship leading to a recognised Level 2 Diploma in Roofing Occupations — a real trade, for life
- Paid college time and proper, patient mentoring from people who know the job
- Employee stock ownership plan — you own a real piece of what you're building. Genuinely rare for an apprentice role.
- All PPE and tools provided
- 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
- Company pension
- A clear path to qualified roofer — and beyond — once you finish
- A direct hand in the UK's clean energy transition
Apply if you're keen, dependable, and want to learn a proper trade with a team building something good — happy to graft, proud of work that stands up, and ready to grow into it.
