I will be working from home for a UK company. They will not be witholding taxes. What do I need to do?
I would guess that I will establish myself as a contractor. Any advice on how do I proceed?
You are correct, you are now self-employed as a contractor. You need to start making estimated payment and closely tracking expenses related to doing your job because those are deductible against the income you earn doing the job.
Here are a couple of articles that explain contracting pretty well:
