Working Site Manager, Temporary Works sign-off, CPCS Black plant operator, drone surveys — one freelancer, one day rate, full project cover. Boots-to-boardroom, fully insured, DBS clear.
On a typical retrofit install you're juggling a Site Manager, a Temporary Works Coordinator, a CPCS plant operator, a drone surveyor and a First Aider on site — four or five separate day rates, four or five sets of insurances, four or five diaries to align. Or hire one person who carries all of it.
No mark-ups stacked across multiple subcontractors. One invoice, one PO.
No coordination loss waiting on the next trade to turn up at site.
RAMS, TWS sign-offs, plant tickets, drone surveys — issued under one CDM duty holder.
PL insurance carried in one place — clean indemnity, fewer overlap gaps.
Pick one service or all three. Day rates, project rates, weekly retainer — built around your schedule.

Robert Janowski is the Site Manager and Director behind Your Retrofit Ltd. Trade-grounded, qualification-stacked: 13 CPCS Black categories (including the rare A17E), NOCN Level 6 in Construction Site Management, TWS for temporary works, A2 CofC for drone surveys, First Aid Level 3 with Catastrophic Bleeding, current Safety Critical Medical, DBS clear, UK driving licence, EN/PL bilingual.
That stack exists because UK retrofit needs Site Managers who can actually do the work — not just sign paperwork from a portacabin. Robert came up through plant, climbed through scaffolding TWS, took the NOCN academic route while still on site, and now runs retrofit projects end-to-end: from the CDM-15 risk assessment through to drone hand-over imagery.
Your Retrofit Ltd is the registered company brand (Companies House No. 09767836, registered in England & Wales). Site management services are currently delivered by Robert as a sole trader, while the Ltd builds toward its full Principal Contractor and PAS 2035 project-management scope. That structure keeps invoicing clean, insurance straightforward, and your procurement team's compliance review fast.
