Workwear chosen for a full day on site
Building sites involve different conditions from one job to the next. A bricklayer handling materials, a groundworker moving across a large site and a supervisor meeting subcontractors will rarely want exactly the same clothing.
Printingmad, operated by TEE MAD LIMITED in Washington, supplies plain garments and printing on supported workwear for construction businesses across Washington, Sunderland, Newcastle and the North East. Our catalogue includes trade T-shirts, polos, hoodies, work trousers, softshells and selected high-visibility garments.
For an organised team, decide on a few practical products that suit each role. Keep your company colour and approved logo consistent where garments permit decoration, and give workers size options that suit their movement and layering needs. Specialist PPE must be selected for the site hazards separately.

Tool storage and fit
Bricklayers, carpenters and fit-out teams may want multiple pockets and sufficient room for kneeling and lifting. Compare waist, leg length, holster-pocket layout and knee-pad compatibility rather than assuming every trade trouser works the same way.
Layers that can change
Work can move between warm interiors and exposed outdoor areas. A polo, sweatshirt or hoodie with a suitable outer layer gives useful flexibility. Look at fabric, cuffs and fit, and confirm weather-protection claims separately.
Visibility and branding
Hi-vis clothing may be required in plant areas or vehicle routes. Check the exact certified colour and class. A logo must not cover reflective tape or compromise protective performance, even if the garment’s name includes “easy print”.
Site safety comes before the logo
General branded workwear is not a substitute for PPE selected through a construction site risk assessment. Helmets, safety footwear, eye and hearing protection, gloves, respiratory protection and high-visibility clothing may be needed depending on the task. Manufacturer certifications and the employer’s requirements must be checked for the exact item and colour. Knee-pad pockets do not automatically mean protective knee pads are included.
Follow the relevant site instructions and current HSE construction PPE guidance. For further garment-specific selection, see our Hi-Vis & Safety Workwear page. Any printing or embroidery must preserve required protective properties.
How to order construction workwear

Choose garments for each role
Record the product code, size, colour and quantity for each worker. Choose plain garments or supported printing options.
2
Supply finished artwork
Company logos must be ready to print. We do not edit supplied artwork. Embroidery is available by enquiry, not as an assumed checkout selection.
3
Check decoration charges
Front printing is £5 including VAT per garment; front and back is £7.50 including VAT per garment where the product supports both positions. Garment prices are separate.
4
Allow for production
Printed garments take 7–10 working days. Mixed plain and printed orders are dispatched together only after printing is complete.
5
Delivery or eligible collection
Delivery is £9.40 excluding VAT per combined box. Free Washington collection is available for eligible printed and mixed orders after ready-to-collect confirmation. Plain-only orders use supplier delivery and cannot be collected.
Construction workwear FAQs
What should builders wear on a construction site?
Select clothing for the job, site rules, weather and employer’s risk assessment. Practical workwear might include a polo, durable trousers and layers, but required safety footwear, helmets, hi-vis and other PPE must be specified separately.
Are the recommended garments certified safety equipment?
No certification should be assumed from the category photographs. Some listed products make manufacturer claims for particular hi-vis colours, but check current item-specific documentation and the class required for your site.
Can you print our building company’s logo on polos or hoodies?
Yes, on products and positions where printing is supported. Supply finished, ready-to-print artwork. Printingmad does not modify customer artwork.
What are your garment printing charges?
Front printing costs £5 including VAT per garment. Front and back printing is £7.50 including VAT per garment when the selected item supports both positions. Garment cost is separate.
Can logos be added to a hi-vis vest or jacket?
Only where the garment supports the decoration and the manufacturer’s requirements are maintained. Branding must not cover reflective strips or reduce the fluorescent area needed for compliance. Enquire if unsure.
Can you embroider workwear?
Embroidery is available by enquiry, subject to garment and placement suitability. It is not assumed to be selectable at checkout; no standard embroidery price is quoted on this page.
Do the trousers come with knee pads?
The RX603 and SH028 listings describe knee-pad pockets, but this does not mean knee pads or certified knee protection are included. Check manufacturer compatibility and what protection your job requires.
Can I order matching uniforms for site supervisors and labourers?
Yes. Choose suitable garment types for each role and coordinate approved colours and artwork where possible. Sizes and colour shades may vary between supplier ranges.
Can we buy plain workwear without printing?
Yes. Plain-only orders use supplier delivery and are not available for collection. Orders combining plain and printed garments are dispatched together once printing is complete.
How long do printed construction uniforms take?
Printed clothing takes 7–10 working days. Allow time beforehand for sizes and finished artwork, especially for a site start date.
How much does delivery cost and is collection available?
Delivery is £9.40 excluding VAT per combined box. Eligible printed and mixed orders can be collected free from Printingmad in Washington after ready-to-collect confirmation. Plain-only orders cannot be collected.
Can I return a personalised garment?
Personalised goods are generally non-returnable for a change of mind. Statutory rights for faulty or incorrectly supplied goods remain unaffected.
Keep your building team consistent
Site teams often grow and change as projects develop. Keep a simple uniform register showing each person’s product code, size and colour, plus the final artwork file used. This helps you reorder compatible garments for new starters without assuming old sizes or stock are still available.
Check the manufacturer size guide before ordering, particularly for trousers with different waist and leg options. Personalised garments are generally non-returnable for change of mind, although statutory rights for faulty or incorrectly supplied goods remain unaffected. Our size guide, artwork guide and returns policy provide further information.
