Work with us

Good hands wanted.
Essex and East London.

VEIL runs three benches out of Colchester: car care, locks and keys, and tech. We would rather know who is out there before the work lands than scramble around for someone at nine on a Friday night, so we are building a list of people we can call.

Straight up about what this is: subcontract work, paid per job, self-employed. It is not a salaried position and we are not going to dress it up as one. Being on the list does not mean we ring you next week. It means we have got your number when something suits you.

What we need

01

Detailers

Machine polishing, ceramic, PPF and wrap. If you can correct paint properly and you care what it looks like in the sun, we want to hear from you. Your own kit and transport ideally, though talk to us either way.

02

Locksmiths & handymen

Lock changes, UPVC, non-destructive entry, car keys, and the general fix-it list. DBS checked, or willing to be. Out-of-hours work available if you want it, not required if you do not.

03

Repair techs

Phone and laptop screens, batteries, ports, board-level if you have it. This side is growing quickest. If you can diagnose properly rather than swapping parts until something works, that is the person we are after.

04

Collections & drivers

Picking devices up across Essex and East London. Clean licence, your own vehicle, sensible with people on doorsteps. Straightforward work, decent for topping up around other jobs.

Honest bit

What we can and cannot promise.

We can say

The work is real and it is local. You get told what the job pays before you take it, and you get paid when it is done rather than in sixty days. If something goes wrong on a job we sort it together, we do not hang you out.

We cannot say

That there is a guaranteed volume of work every week, because there is not one yet on the tech side. Some weeks will be busy and some quiet. Anyone telling you otherwise at this stage is selling you something.

What we expect

Turn up when you said, ring if you cannot, and tell the customer the truth about what a job needs. That last one matters more here than anywhere, because the whole thing is built on people not feeling done over.

What you need

Your own tools for your trade, transport, and insurance for the work you do. For lock work, DBS. For buying tech, we will walk you through the ID and IMEI checks, they are not complicated but they are not optional.

Get in touch

No CV needed. Tell us what you do, roughly where you are, and something you have worked on that you were pleased with. Photos of your work say more than a CV ever has.

Rather just message? WhatsApp us instead. Photos of your work are welcome.
