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.
Workforce accommodation UK
Workforce accommodation for teams working away from home, anywhere in the UK. Whole houses and flats near site — bills, Wi-Fi, parking and weekly cleaning included. Tell us where the job is and how many people, and we come back with a shortlist of real, vetted properties, usually within two working hours.
Two people for a fortnight is as welcome as two hundred for two years. No minimum crew, no minimum stay.

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.
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 |
Rates quoted against your actual requirement
Workforce 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.
Wherever the workforce lands
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.
Workforce accommodation, sector by sector
Construction and civils. Early starts, wet kit and vans. We put the crew in a house within a short drive of the gate, with a drive or yard for the vehicles and somewhere warm to dry boots. For site crews specifically, see our construction workers accommodation page.
NHS and healthcare. Agency nurses, locums and theatre teams on placements of six weeks to six months. Quiet, secure flats that are walkable to the trust, single occupancy as standard, and check-in that works after a late shift.
Data centres and M&E. Commissioning engineers on long, irregular rotas, often near big campuses where hotels fill first. Good broadband and a desk matter as much as the bed. See our data centre accommodation page for the campuses we cover.
Rail, energy and utilities. Possessions and outages that double the headcount overnight, frequently in places with almost no hotel stock. Blackout blinds, late check-in and neighbours who will not be woken at 2am.
Whatever the sector, the booking works the same way: tell us the town, the dates and how many people, and we come back with houses we can actually book. If the work is in a particular town, our contractor accommodation pages cover more than 1,600 UK locations, including Cardiff, London, Leeds and Sheffield.
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.
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.
Workforce accommodation that works for the workforce
Most workforce accommodation fails in the same places: rooms scattered across a hotel, no kitchen, vans parked half a mile away, and a receipt-chasing expenses admin at the end of every week. A crew house fixes all of it at once — the team stays together, cooks properly, dries its kit, and walks out of one front door at 6am.
We hold workforce accommodation under contract across the UK and source on demand everywhere else. Construction gangs, NHS agency staff, data centre commissioning engineers, rail possession crews, energy outage teams — the shape of the booking changes, the basics never do: beds people sleep well in, a kitchen, a washing machine, van parking, and bills that are not the crew’s problem.
Every booking is company-to-company. One contact, one consolidated monthly invoice, card payment terms for limited companies. If the job runs long, we extend in place; if two more people land on Tuesday, we add a property rather than squeezing the house. Two people for a fortnight is as welcome as two hundred for two years.
Workforce accommodation, answered
Workforce accommodation is housing a company arranges for its own people while they work away from home. With us that means whole houses and flats near the job rather than hotel rooms, with a kitchen, laundry, parking and space for the team to switch off. We find it, vet it and run it, so the person booking deals with one contact and one invoice.
Anyone sending a team away from home for more than a few nights: construction and civils contractors, M&E and fit-out firms, NHS trusts and nursing agencies, data centre commissioning teams, rail possession gangs, energy outage crews and film units. The shape of the booking changes; the basics of a decent house do not.
No. Two people on a three-week job get the same service as a hundred on a two-year project: a whole property, bills in, a weekly clean and one monthly invoice. There is no minimum headcount and no minimum stay, and small crews are a normal part of our week.
A hotel block gives you rooms on a corridor, breakfast at set times and a car park that may not take vans. A crew house gives the team its own front door, a kitchen, a washing machine, a drying space and the drive outside. For stays beyond a week or two it usually costs less per person as well.
Yes. We separate day and night workers where we can, give single rooms to anyone who needs one, and brief hosts on the shift pattern before you book. For NHS and agency staff we can arrange single-occupancy flats near the hospital rather than a shared house.
We house each group near its own site and run the whole lot as one account. You get one contact who knows every booking, one consolidated invoice a month, and changes such as two extra people or a site moving are handled with a phone call rather than a new booking.
It depends on the town, the dates, the headcount and how long the job runs, so we quote against your actual requirement. Quotes include bills, Wi-Fi, a weekly clean and linen, with no booking fee and no per-person admin charge. Companies pay by card or on monthly invoice terms.
A shortlist usually comes back within two working hours, with photos, drive times and what is included. In the cities where we hold the most property, keys can often be ready the same day; for remote sites or very large teams, allow up to 24 hours.
