I forgot to tell they pay small rent £25 a week.

I reckon you would be lucky to get away with that unless they have other work.

You really need to explain this better. As it stands your saying you provide van, equipment and water. You pay 80 for 8 hrs work so £10 per hour. But you only charge or lease the equipment for £25 a week?
Do provide the work as well?? Or are they doing their own sork but leasing the equipment of you?? But your paying 80 to them? Am i not reading this right?
Plus are you a business or a charity?

Getting away from the employee v self employed theme, your question mainly depends on how much turnover they're doing.
If you're paying £80 a day you want them to be turning over enough to cover their pay, all your costs, plus whatever net profit margin you want.

Well I can't see much incentive to be self employed on that rate, once you've allowed holiday and taxes it would average out lower than the minimum wage but I guess that's why your doing it, legally it's a grey area as to whether your in the right or wrong regards self employment, however ethically you may be viewed in a different light
As a sub contractor/self employed you would maybe be better working out an hourly turnover you know can be done ( say £40 per hour ) then either give each guy £320 of work (8 hours) then they get 33% (£106)
That would be their cut regardless of time they actually take 5 hours or 11 hours

Do the work to fit in with their work.
You cannot set them a time schedule.
They issue an invoice for the work.
