Methodology: medians reconcile live advertised UK salaries for this role and region; 25th–75th percentiles are shown only where at least 5 live salaried listings back them — they are measured or omitted, never interpolated. Rows marked indicative are anchored to our curated 2026 baseline ranges until enough live data accrues. Listings advertising an implausible annual figure (a mislabelled hourly or daily rate) are excluded rather than converted, because converting one means guessing the hours behind it.

Market view. A CSCS green card (with the CITB health, safety and environment test behind it) is the near-universal site-entry requirement. Extra tickets move pay quickly: a dumper or roller ticket, an SSSTS, or confined-space training each step a labourer toward skilled rates.

FAQs

What does a construction labourer earn?

Indicatively £23,000–£34,000 full-time equivalent; London sites and long weeks push real earnings higher.

Do I need a CSCS card to labour on site?

In practice yes — the CSCS green labourer card is the standard entry requirement on managed sites.

How does a labourer move up the pay scale?

Add tickets: dumper/roller (CPCS/NPORS), SSSTS, or a trade NVQ started through site experience.
