I 'discovered' this ITV sitcom recently, from the early 80's and it ran for 2 series. I have the first on DVD and have watched it a couple of times and for an ITV comedy of its time, it was good. It starred Roy Kinnear, Colin Welland and David Kelly (O'Riley the Builder from Fawlty Towers and Albert Riddle from Robin's Nest).
It's likely that Dick, Terry and George will remember it from when it was first broadcast.
As the title suggests, it's about a gang of dodgy bulders employed by an even dodgier boss (Roy Kinnear as Joe Jones), it is worth a watch. I've never seen it repeated on TV, but if you ever see the DVD cheap on eBay, Amazon etc, say for a few quid, then it is good entertainment. The David Kelly character is called Wobbly Ron and is just the same as O'Riley, a useless, work shy Irishman who likes a drink and doesn't like working much.
