For crews and bookers
A proper base for the people doing the work.
Whole self-contained homes for contractors, engineers, locums, project teams and relocating staff. A kitchen, a bed of your own and somewhere to come back to after the shift.
This site lists five homes in London, Salford and York. Where we do not have the right home, send the requirement and we will tell you whether our network can source it.
What makes a work stay work
The useful things are not the same as the things a holiday listing puts first.
- A separate bed for each person, with the sleeping arrangements shown on the home page.
- A proper kitchen for meals after a long shift, not a kettle beside a hotel bed.
- A washing machine where the home has one; exceptions are stated before you book.
- A table and chair that can handle a laptop, paperwork or a placement day.
- Parking only where the individual home lists it, with the awkward version left visible.
- Bills and Wi-Fi included where stated, with cleaning fees shown on the home and in the booking engine.
Choose the route that fits
If one of our homes works, you can see its facts, drawbacks and indicative total before handing over your dates. If the city or headcount does not fit, the enquiry route is still worth using: a person reads it and comes back with what we can actually put together.
- London: Islington N1, Hendon NW4 and Forest Gate E7.
- Greater Manchester: Salford M5, with the M602 and the wider conurbation in range.
- York: a three-bedroom whole house in Heworth with a driveway.
- Elsewhere: send the site, dates, headcount and budget so the requirement can be checked properly.
For the person booking, not just the person staying
Most work stays are arranged by a project coordinator, employer, relocation agent or office manager. The booking needs to survive a delayed programme and make sense to finance as well as the crew.
- One requirement with the site, dates, beds and parking needs in one place.
- A named contact rather than a support queue.
- Extensions discussed early when the programme moves.
- Company and relocation enquiries welcome, with the requirement kept clear before anything is sourced.
How it works
Choose a home and check the live booking engine, or send us the requirement if the answer depends on the site and the crew. We will say what we can cover and what we cannot.
- Send the location, work site, start date and number of people.
- We check the home, dates, beds, parking and the total that applies.
- You receive the booking route or a clear answer about what needs sourcing.
Questions people ask
Do you house contractors in whole homes?
Yes. The homes on this site are self-contained, and the individual page shows the beds, parking and exceptions for that home.
Can you house a crew larger than one of your homes?
Send the site, headcount and dates anyway. This site lists five homes, and where the requirement is outside them we can check our operator network.
Can a company book and pay?
Yes. Company and relocation enquiries are welcome. Send the requirement first so the right home and booking route can be confirmed.
What if the job runs over?
Tell us as soon as the programme moves. We can check an extension against the same home, but we will not promise dates that have not been checked.
Tell us what the job needs
A postcode, work site, number of beds and start date is enough to begin. Add the vehicle, parking and length-of-stay detail if it matters to the booking.
