Structured CIS and umbrella payroll support for contractors, subcontractors and agencies. Compliant processes, clear deductions, and payments that arrive on time.
Rockwool Umbrella Solutions is built around the practical realities of contractor and agency payroll in the UK construction sector. We don't operate with a one-size-fits-all approach — we offer structured, distinct services that reflect how different workers engage with their sites and agencies.
For subcontractors operating under the Construction Industry Scheme. We handle the administrative side of CIS payroll — deductions, records, and payment processing — so your focus stays on site.
Structured to align with HMRC CIS requirements and designed to give contractors clarity on every deduction.

Learn about Umbrella PayrollFor agencies and labour suppliers who need a structured payroll partner. We manage the administrative burden, support contractor onboarding, and provide the consistency your clients expect.
Built for agencies that prioritise reliability, process compliance, and clear communication.
Agency Partnership
Too many contractors reach the end of a pay cycle unsure of what was deducted, under which framework, or why a figure differs from what they expected. That uncertainty creates friction — with agencies, with HMRC, and with financial planning.
Rockwool Umbrella Solutions is built around the opposite of that. Clear structure. Consistent communication. Payments you can plan around.
We've designed our process to remove the friction that typically surrounds payroll administration in construction. Clear onboarding, reliable payments, and a structure that works whether you're a contractor, subcontractor, or agency.
Complete a straightforward registration. We collect the information needed to set up your payroll record correctly — compliantly and without unnecessary delay.
Provide your working details, HMRC records, and any relevant subcontractor information. Everything is handled with care and discretion.
Submit your hours or agree your payment schedule through your agency or employer. Our process is built for the realities of site-based and contract work.
Receive your payment with a clear payslip showing exactly what has been deducted, under which framework, and why. No ambiguity. No surprises.
Rockwool Umbrella Solutions works with individuals and organisations at every stage of construction workforce engagement — from the worker on site to the agency placing them there.
Whether you operate under CIS as a self-employed subcontractor or prefer the employment clarity of an umbrella structure, we provide the payroll administration that keeps you paid correctly and on time. We handle the paperwork so you can focus on the work.
Agencies placing contractors into construction roles need a payroll partner they can rely on. We provide structured, consistent payroll administration that removes operational risk and gives your contractors confidence that their payments are handled properly.
Labour suppliers working across multiple clients and sites require a payroll operation that can scale without compromising accuracy or compliance. We provide that infrastructure — processing, communication, and records — with consistency.
For those overseeing workforce engagement at project level, working with a compliant payroll partner reduces the downstream risk associated with misclassified workers or non-compliant subcontractor payments.
Rockwool Umbrella Solutions operates with UK payroll legislation and HMRC requirements at the centre of everything we do. We don't treat compliance as a bolt-on — it's built into how we process payments, maintain records, and communicate with contractors.
That means every contractor we work with benefits from a payroll framework that's structured, documented, and aligned with the rules that govern CIS and umbrella employment in the UK.
Rockwool Umbrella Solutions works directly with agencies and labour suppliers to provide structured, consistent payroll administration. Reduce the administrative load. Improve compliance confidence. Give your contractors clarity.
