Near site, not near the ring road
We source around where the work actually is — industrial estates, port areas, power stations, depots. Drive time to the gate is the first thing we check.

What KrewBase does
We hold the property. You get on with the job.
We are not a booking platform that forwards your enquiry to hosts and waits for bids. We hold accommodation under contract, so when you need a crew housed we check what is genuinely free on your dates and send back options with photos, drive times and what is included.
Whole properties, whole crews
A team of six gets a house with a kitchen, a drying space and somewhere to sit at the end of a shift. They stay together, eat properly, and turn up in better shape.
One contact, one invoice
However many properties and sites, you deal with one person and get one consolidated invoice a month. Card payment terms for limited companies, subject to eligibility.
Contractor accommodation vs hotels
Why crews end up in houses
Hotels work well for one person for two nights. They stop working the moment you have a team, a long job, and a kitchen-shaped hole in everyone’s week.
| KrewBase | Hotel rooms | |
|---|---|---|
| Team stays together | Yes | Rarely |
| Kitchen & laundry | Standard | No |
| Van & tool parking | Most properties | Often paid |
| Weekday-only stays | Yes | Full rate |
| Extend mid-job | One call | Rebook |
| Invoicing | One, monthly | Per room, per stay |
| Credit terms | Card payment | Card on arrival |
How much it costs
Rates quoted against your actual requirement
Contractor accommodation is priced per person per night, and the number depends on location, dates, crew size and how long the job runs. We quote against your actual job rather than publishing a price that turns out to be wrong — the rate we quote is the rate invoiced, with no separate booking fee.
Short-term stays
Weeks rather than months — a two-week outage, a month of night works, a six-week commissioning stint. Fast turnaround, weekday-only options, no weekend charges when the crew is home.
Long-term project stays
Multi-month and multi-year jobs. Bookings roll and are reviewed as the job moves, so nobody has to rebook every few weeks and the crew stays put.
Teams of any size
From a two-man snagging crew to 100+ workers across multiple sites. We hold stock and source the rest, then run it all through one contact and one invoice.
Contractor accommodation by city
Every nation, from day one
Each link below is a live city page with what we hold in that area. If your site is not listed, we still source there — just tell us the postcode.
Contractor accommodation by industry
Different work, different rules
A ward nurse on a six-week placement and a nightshift track gang need almost opposite things. We brief hosts on which is which.
Sector 01
Construction
Early starts, muddy boots, drying space and somewhere to park a Transit. Whole houses close to site.
Sector 02NHS & healthcare
Quiet, secure, walkable to the trust. Single occupancy as standard and shift-friendly check-in.
Sector 03Data centres
Long commissioning jobs and specialist travelling engineers. Desk space and good broadband.
Sector 04Energy
Outages and turnarounds that surge crew numbers fast, often in places with almost no hotel stock.
Sector 05Rail
Possession work and night shifts. Blackout blinds, late check-in and neighbours who will not be woken.
Something elseNot on the list?
Film crews, events, disaster recovery, seasonal agriculture. If it is a team away from home, ask us.
How it works
Four steps, and we do three of them
01
You tell us what you need
Location or postcode, how many people, start date, rough duration, and anything that matters — van parking, weekday-only, split shifts, female-only accommodation. Two minutes on the form or one phone call.
02
We shortlist from properties we already hold
We are not posting your job to a marketplace and waiting for bids. We hold the stock under contract, so we check what is genuinely free on your dates and send back options with photos, drive times and what is included.
03
You pick, we confirm
Choose the option that suits. We handle the host, the contract, the keys and the arrival instructions, and send your team everything they need before they set off.
04
The crew moves in — and we stay on it
Boiler stops working at 6am, job gets extended by four weeks, two more lads land on Tuesday. You ring us, not the landlord. Changes get sorted and roll onto the same invoice.
A sample of the portfolio
Real properties, currently held
A small slice of what we hold. Rates depend on dates, crew size and duration, so we quote per job rather than posting a price that turns out to be wrong.
Awkward location? That is the interesting part.
Power stations, rail depots and rural infrastructure sites where there is barely a hotel for miles. Those are the requirements we are best at.
Workers accommodation, Milton Keynes
Workers accommodation in a city built for vans
Milton Keynes keeps generating the same kind of work: logistics sheds, distribution fit-outs, data centre builds and the endless housing sites on the city edge. The grid layout is a gift for crews — everywhere is fifteen minutes from everywhere — which means the house can be picked for quality rather than postcode luck.
We place crews across the grid: Bletchley and Fenny Stratford for the south-side sites, Wolverton and Stony Stratford for the north, Kingston and Broughton for the M1-side estates. Every property is checked for the things that break a crew booking — parking for at least two vans, two bathrooms above four people, a proper kitchen and a washing machine.
One contact, one monthly invoice, credit terms for limited companies. Two people for a fortnight is as welcome as a full site team for a year.
Common questions
Contractor accommodation, answered
Contractor accommodation is housing arranged for working crews away from home on a job — whole houses and apartments close to site with kitchens, parking and space for a team to live properly. KrewBase sources, vets and manages these properties so the company booking them deals with one contact and one invoice.
Rates depend on location, dates, crew size and duration, so we quote against your actual job rather than publishing a price that may not fit. Quotes are all-inclusive with no separate booking fee, and companies can pay by card or on monthly invoice terms.
A shortlist normally comes back within two working hours. In hub cities we can often confirm and have keys ready the same day. For remote locations or very large crews, allow 24 hours.
Yes. A team of six gets a house with a kitchen, drying space and somewhere to sit after a shift; larger crews are spread across nearby properties we hold, all managed through one contact and one invoice.
Yes. Monday to Friday is how a large share of our stays run because crews go home at weekends. You are not charged for nights the crew is not there, and the property stays held for the following week.
Tell us and we adjust. Because we hold stock rather than broker it, we can usually extend in place instead of moving everyone mid-job. Adding people, dropping people or finishing early all work the same way.
Yes. We offer card payment accounts to limited companies, subject to a standard credit check. Everything booked in a month lands on one consolidated invoice at month end.
On most properties, yes, and it is one of the things we filter on before shortlisting. Tell us the vehicles and whether tools need to be off the street overnight, and we only send options that work.
Yes, and we do it regularly — especially around power stations, rail depots and infrastructure projects with very little existing stock. Give us the site postcode and dates and we will go and find it.
Yes. Stays run from a few weeks to multi-year jobs. We set rolling bookings and review them as the job moves rather than making you rebook every few weeks.
We do. The crew contacts us, not the landlord. Housekeeping schedules, maintenance callouts and anything that goes wrong at an inconvenient hour come to us to resolve.
England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. We hold property permanently in hub cities and source on demand across the rest of the UK, including awkward rural and industrial locations.
Hotels work for one person for a couple of nights. Contractor accommodation gives a crew a house or apartment with a kitchen, laundry, van parking and shared space — usually cheaper per person per night, easier to invoice, and it keeps the team together.
Yes. Sudden mobilisations happen constantly in this industry. Tell us the dates and crew size and we come back fast with what is genuinely free.
Yes — multiple properties in one location, one property in several locations, or any mix. It all runs through one contact and lands on one invoice.
Construction workers accommodation is housing arranged by the employer for a site crew working away from home — normally a whole house or apartment near site rather than a hotel room each. It gives the team a kitchen, laundry, van parking and somewhere to dry kit, and it lets the company book and invoice the whole crew in one go instead of reimbursing individual expenses.
It is normally cheaper per person per night once a crew is three or more, and the gap widens the longer the job runs. The saving is not only the nightly rate: a house has a kitchen, so the crew is not claiming an evening meal each, and one invoice removes the per-head expense admin. We quote against your actual job rather than publishing a headline rate that turns out not to fit.
Yes. We cover England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. We hold property permanently in hub cities and source on demand everywhere else, including the rural and industrial locations near power stations, rail depots and infrastructure sites where there is very little existing stock.
The company, always. Accommodation is booked in the company name and billed to the company on one consolidated monthly invoice, with credit terms for limited companies. Your workers never put a personal card down and never claim it back on expenses.
