Contractor Accommodation Bath — Whole Houses for Crews of 2 to 20

Last updated: August 2026

Whole self-catering houses for working crews in Bath, from £40 per person per night with all bills included.

If you are housing a crew on the University of Bath campus build, a Wessex Water package across Somerset and Wiltshire, or heritage refurbishment work in the centre, this page gives you the real numbers.

Written for the person doing the booking — site manager, site agent, project manager, operations lead, or the office manager it landed on.

The honest framing: Bath is the most expensive city we cover, and we explain below exactly why rather than pretending otherwise. Where we win is a crew of four or more with vans, because Bath charges non-compliant vans to enter the centre and the city-centre hotel car parks physically will not take a van. Below: the rate, what is in it, which Bath schemes are genuinely on site in 2026 and which have stopped, and measured drive times from a central Bath base.

How much is contractor accommodation in Bath?

£40 to £55 per person per night, all in. That is a whole self-catering house for the crew, with gas, electricity, water, council tax, broadband, linen and off-street parking where the property has it. The range is market-derived and sourced to brief, not read off our own booking system. Bath is supply-constrained and competes with tourism for the same houses, which is why it sits at the top of our national range. The table below sets out the bands by property size.

Sourced to brief — Bath, Somerset and west Wiltshire Tell us the site, the headcount and the start date

We come back the same working day with what we can source in Bath for your dates, at a fixed quote — or tell you straight if we cannot cover it. From £40 per person per night, all bills included, £200 refundable deposit. Tell us how many vans and their Euro standard and we will factor the Clean Air Zone into the answer. Send the dates even if the job is not signed off; we will hold a quote so you can put a real number in the tender.

What a crew actually costs per head in Bath, all in

Contractor accommodation is budgeted per person per night, so that is how we quote it. Every figure below assumes separate beds — never a sofa bed, never two people in a room who did not ask to share.

Property typeSleeps, separate bedsFrom, per person per night
Whole house, 2 bed Or a self-contained 2-bed flat4£55
Whole house, 3 bed The most common crew size we place6£48
Whole house, 4 bed Usually two bathrooms — confirmed per property8£44
Whole house, 5 bed Larger crews, or two houses close together10£40

The rate falls as the house gets bigger because the bills, the clean and the management are spread across more people. Longer bookings come down again — a four-week job prices lower per night than a four-night one. Send the dates and we will quote the actual figure.

Why Bath is the most expensive city we cover, stated plainly

We are not going to publish a Bath rate and pretend it matches a northern market town. Four things push it up, and all four are real.

Bath barely builds. World Heritage status, conservation areas, listed buildings and a tight green belt mean very little new housing supply. The same constraint that keeps the construction pipeline thin also keeps the rate high.

Tourism bids for the identical stock. Bath draws millions of visitors a year into a small city. A three-bed house near the centre can earn a leisure rate every weekend of the year, so a contractor booking competes at leisure prices rather than at contractor prices.

Off-street parking is rare and it is exactly what you need. Most central Bath housing is Georgian terrace with no driveway. A property with its own off-street space is a minority of the stock and it carries a premium.

The Clean Air Zone narrows the pool further. Once you filter for properties that let a crew avoid a daily van charge, the usable set gets smaller again.

Where this range comes from — read this

Bath is a sourcing city for Stayful today. We hold no bookable stock of our own anywhere in Somerset or Wiltshire, so this range is market-derived and sourced to brief rather than read off our own booking system. It is what we can genuinely source a crew-ready whole house at in and around Bath on current market terms, fulfilled through partner operators and sourced to your brief. That is why there is no whole-property column on this table, no property count and no live property carousel on this page — we will not print a number we cannot stand behind. You get a fixed, real figure at quote, before you commit to anything.

Everything in the nightly rate — bills, wi-fi, linen, kitchen, parking

The reason a per-head figure beats a room rate is that nothing gets added to it afterwards. When we say all bills included, that is the whole list, not the headline ones.

In the rate
Gas, electricity and water
Council tax
Broadband that carries the whole crew on video calls and online inductions at once
Hotel-quality linen and towels, changed between stays
A fully equipped self-catering kitchen — oven, hob, fridge-freezer, microwave, kettle, toaster, and pans, plates and cutlery for the full crew
Washing machine, so a week of workwear gets done without a launderette run
Somewhere to dry and store wet kit, PPE and boots away from the living space
Off-street parking where the property has it, stated per property before you commit
Self check-in from 3pm — your own key, your own front door, no reception to wait for at 6am
A named contact on a landline during working hours
Not in the rate
Food and drink
A £200 damage deposit, fully refundable after the stay
Daily housekeeping — these are houses, not hotel rooms, and the crew keeps the place themselves
Clean Air Zone charges, which are paid by the vehicle keeper direct to the council, not by us
Anything a specific property genuinely does not have, which we tell you before you book rather than after

Parking is the one to raise at enquiry, and in Bath it is worth more than in any city we cover. We will not claim a specific Bath property has van space until we have checked it for you — but we will tell you before you book, not after.

From enquiry to keys — what happens in the next 24 hours

1Send the site postcode, the headcount and the start dateTwo minutes. The site postcode matters more than the town name — a crew at Claverton Down is a different search from a crew working a Wessex Water package out at Trowbridge. Tell us how many vans and roughly how old they are.
2We come back the same working day with a fixed quoteWhat we can source for those dates, at a price that does not move afterwards, with the Clean Air Zone position spelled out. If we cannot cover it we say so that day rather than leaving you waiting.
3You confirm and we take the £200 depositFully refundable after the stay. We can invoice the company against a PO with 30-day terms for approved accounts, so nobody is putting a crew on a personal card.
4Self check-in from 3pm on arrival dayKeys and access details sent ahead. Check-out is 11am. A late arrival down the A46 or up the A36 is fine — there is no reception closing time to work around.

Housing a crew of eight without splitting them across three hotels

The whole property goes to your crew and nobody else has access for the duration.

Teams of two to twenty. Beyond about ten you are usually looking at two houses within a few minutes of each other, which we source, manage and invoice as one job.

Separate beds for every person as standard. No room sharing, ever — that is a commitment rather than an aspiration, and it is why we quote on separate-bed occupancy rather than the headline "sleeps" figure.

Crews change shape mid-job and that is normal. Somebody rotating off and a replacement joining next week does not mean rebooking from scratch — we update the names and it is done in hours.

Phased arrivals work the same way: start with four, add capacity as the programme ramps up, release properties as phases complete. On a scheme like the university residences, which runs through design into an extended main build, that matters more than it does on a two-week job.

Bath is a small city with a wide working catchment, so splitting a crew across two houses a few minutes apart is often the practical answer rather than a compromise. If you are running Bath alongside Bristol, Swindon or Oxford, that is one point of contact and one invoice across all of them, not four separate accounts.

Site accommodation, site cabins and shared houses — what this is not

This is not on-site accommodation or site cabins. If you need welfare units or modular sleeping accommodation inside the hoarding, that is a plant hire question and we are not the answer. What we provide is ordinary residential housing off site, with a front door onto a street rather than a compound gate.

This is not a shared HMO with other people's tenants. Some contractors have rented a room in a house full of strangers and had a bad experience of it — a kitchen shared with people on other shifts, a bathroom queue, kit going missing. The whole property is booked exclusively for your crew and nobody else holds a key during your stay. In a city where a lot of the rental stock is student-let by the room, that distinction is worth stating twice.

This is not a hotel block either. There is no reception, no breakfast window and no daily housekeeping — and equally no restriction on cooking a proper meal after a ten-hour shift, and no vehicle you cannot park.

One note on wording. This page is the answer for contractor accommodation Bath and for contractors accommodation Bath — singular and plural get used interchangeably on site and they mean the same thing here. People search it the other way round too, as Bath contractor accommodation. The same goes for worker accommodation, self-catering, short stay, short term let, corporate and business accommodation, and accommodation for professionals. Different words, one requirement: a decent house, near the job, with everything switched on and all bills included.

Serviced accommodation and serviced apartments in Bath — the same thing, asked differently

This section is also the answer for anyone searching contractors accommodation Bath in the plural, which is how a good deal of the trade writes it.

More people arrive at this page searching serviced accommodation Bath or serviced apartments Bath than searching for contractor accommodation directly, so it is worth answering plainly rather than assuming everyone uses the same words.

Serviced accommodation means the property is managed, cleaned between stays and let with everything switched on. Bills, wi-fi, linen and council tax are in one figure, there is a kitchen, and somebody is responsible when something breaks. That is exactly what we provide. The phrase says nothing about who is staying.

Where the words diverge is register rather than product. In Bath, "serviced apartments" is largely used by operators selling short leisure and corporate-travel stays in the centre — often marketed on period features and proximity to the Roman Baths, and priced accordingly. We are describing the same category of property with a different job to do: housing a working crew for a week or considerably longer, near the site, with somewhere to put the van.

So if your procurement system calls it serviced accommodation, your finance team calls it corporate housing and the lads call it digs, all three arrive in the same place. Send the site, the headcount and the dates in whichever words you use.

Where the work actually is in Bath in 2026 — and what has stopped

Bath is unusual among the cities we cover, and it is worth being straight about it. Bath barely builds. World Heritage status, conservation areas, listed buildings and a tight green belt mean there is far less live construction here than in Bristol thirteen miles away. Most contractor demand in Bath is maintenance, fit-out, retrofit, heritage refurbishment and estates work rather than big civils.

That is not a weakness in the market. It is a different kind of work, it tends to run longer, and it needs specialist trades who travel. We verified each scheme below individually rather than repeating a headline, and four of them turned out to be finished or stopped.

University of Bath, Claverton Down — the largest single scheme in the city

GRAHAM was appointed in April 2026 to take forward a purpose-built student residence scheme of around 960 bedrooms on the eastern edge of the Claverton Down campus, designed by Stride Treglown. It was procured through the Southern Construction Framework under a two-stage pre-construction services agreement, valued at about £100m, and GRAHAM came through a field that included BAM, Bouygues, Galliford Try, Kier, Vinci, Wates, Willmott Dixon, Morgan Sindall and Tilbury Douglas. The council has since resolved to grant full planning permission.

Be precise about the stage: this is pre-construction, with the main build to follow once the design is finalised. It is nine minutes from the city centre and it is the clearest medium-term crew requirement in Bath. There is a certain irony in the largest construction project in the city being student accommodation, while the crews building it need somewhere to stay themselves.

Wessex Water AMP8 — the quiet one that runs to 2030

Wessex Water is headquartered in Bath, at its operations centre on Claverton Down Road, nine minutes from the centre and on the same hilltop as the university. Its AMP8 capital delivery programme runs from 2025 to 2030 at around £3.7bn, with framework agreements that can extend into AMP9.

The named delivery partners are Mott MacDonald Bentley, Kier, Galliford Try and Morgan Sindall on design and build; Knights Brown as one of four civil engineering providers; and Bridges Electrical Engineers, Trant Engineering and OCU Utility Services among the mechanical and electrical partners. A separate minor works framework added around 45 further firms, most of them SMEs, covering pump and booster station upgrades, pipework, control panels and generator work.

This is the most likely genuine source of sustained crew demand around Bath, and it is dispersed rather than concentrated: mains repairs and renewals across Somerset and Wiltshire rather than one compound. A crew on this programme is often better based between sites than in the city centre, which is a conversation worth having before you book.

Royal United Hospital, Combe Park — estates rather than a mega-project

The RUH is a 52-acre acute site with around 565 beds serving a catchment of roughly half a million people, seven minutes from the centre. It runs a continuous estate renewal programme, and the Trust's own stated near-term priority is new and refurbished staff accommodation on site.

The honest position on the big money: the Trust has been identified for New Hospital Programme funding of potentially up to £450m, but that remains subject to business case approval and planning consent. We are not going to sell you a hospital mega-project that has not been approved. What is real today is maintenance, M&E, refurbishment and decant work on a large live acute site.

Heritage and retail refurbishment — small, live, and genuinely Bath

Restoration of the Jolly's building on Milsom Street, one of the oldest department stores in Europe and a council-owned asset, has had contractors on site as part of its reopening under Morleys. It is a small job by value and a good illustration of the type: specialist heritage trades working on a listed building in a conservation area, three minutes from the centre.

This is the work Bath actually generates. Stone masons, conservation specialists, lime plasterers, leadworkers, joiners and M&E teams on listed and period buildings — usually on placements measured in months, usually travelling in, and usually needing a base rather than a hotel room.

Consented and imminent — Stadium for Bath at the Recreation Ground

Bath Rugby secured planning permission in September 2025 for an 18,000-capacity redevelopment of the Rec, and the Secretary of State declined to call the application in. In August 2026 the club confirmed an accelerated phased roadmap: building the East Stand first, with work beginning during the 2026/27 season and an 18-month main build targeting the start of the 2028/29 season. Two home fixtures are being moved away from the Rec to allow the pitch relocation.

We are putting this in the pipeline rather than on the map, because as things stand nothing is physically under construction and no main contractor has been publicly appointed. If you are bidding packages on it, talk to us early — but we are not going to draw it as a live site today.

What we are deliberately not claiming

Five things get named on competitor pages for Bath that we will not put on this one. Two of the largest are being presented elsewhere as ongoing construction when they are not.

Bath Quays North
The Legal & General development agreement expired in July 2024 without a viable or proceedable development, and the council took the site back into its own control. L&G had withdrawn from speculative development and cost increases left a viability gap. Detailed planning was granted in August 2024, but there is no developer building it. Not a 2026 crew requirement.
Bath Quays South
Built. BAM delivered the office block and the riverside and flood-defence landscaping around it is recorded as largely complete, with only minor footpath work outstanding.
Dyson Cancer Centre, RUH
Opened in 2024. Complete, and the subsequent demolition of the 1940s North Wing ran on a small contract that finished at the end of 2025.
Fashion Museum and the Milsom Quarter public realm
Real, funded and worth knowing about — but construction is not expected to begin until 2027, with the museum opening around 2030, and the public realm work is still at design and business-case stage. A 2027 requirement, not a 2026 one.
Hinkley Point C
Somerset, but roughly fifty miles away and not a sensible Bath commute. Bridgwater is the base for Hinkley and we are not going to pretend otherwise.
Crew mobilised in 48 hours

The pattern we see most in Bath is not the headline scheme — it is a heritage package, an M&E shutdown or a university estates job won on a Friday, with six people needing a base by Monday morning and two vans that cannot go into the centre without a daily charge. Send the site postcode, the headcount and the vehicles and you will have a fixed quote the same working day.

Bath Spa University at Newton Park, the Wessex Water operations centre, the Roman Baths and the city's hotel and hospitality estate are all operating rather than building. They generate refurbishment, M&E, fit-out and shutdown work rather than a standing construction crew, and we have framed them that way rather than dressing an operating site up as a project.

Bath's Clean Air Zone — what it costs a crew with vans, and how to avoid it

This is the single most contractor-relevant fact about working in Bath, and no accommodation provider in this market is leading with it.

Bath operates a Class C Clean Air Zone covering the city centre and its main approaches, including stretches of the A4, the A36 and London Road. It has run since March 2021, it operates 24 hours a day every day of the year, and it is enforced by number plate cameras.

Vans, LGVs and pick-ups
£9 per day if the vehicle does not meet the standard. This is the one that catches contractors.
HGVs, coaches and buses
£100 per day if non-compliant.
Cars and motorbikes
Not charged at all, even when used for work. If your crew travels in cars, the zone costs you nothing and you can ignore most of this section.
The standard
Broadly Euro 6 for diesel, which means most diesels registered from around September 2015, and Euro 4 for petrol, roughly 2006 onwards. Electric and hybrid vehicles are compliant.

Three details matter operationally and are easy to get caught by.

A number of temporary local exemptions have now expired, which has brought more vans and private hire vehicles into scope than when the zone launched. If your firm drove into Bath a couple of years ago without paying, that does not mean you are still exempt. Check the plate rather than assume.

There is no reminder and no automatic payment. The charge has to be paid within seven days including the day of travel. Miss it and it becomes a penalty charge notice of £120, reduced to £60 if paid within fourteen days. For an office manager running six vans that is a genuine admin exposure, not a rounding error.

A vehicle parked in the zone that does not move is not charged. The charge applies to driving in the zone, not to sitting still in it. And a journey that crosses midnight counts as two daily charges, which matters for night shifts.

What it actually costs, and what we can do about it

Take a realistic case. A six-week job, two non-compliant vans, driving into the centre on thirty working days. That is £540 in Clean Air Zone charges alone, before a single night of accommodation, and before parking.

We cannot make the zone go away, and if your site is inside it your vans will pay to get there. What we can do is base the crew so the charge is not incurred on every other journey, and be honest with you about which properties sit inside the boundary and which sit outside it. Tell us the vehicles at enquiry — how many, and roughly what age — and we will factor it into the answer rather than let you find out in week two.

Charges are paid by the vehicle keeper direct to the council. They are not part of our rate and we do not take a margin on them.

Where a crew actually parks three vans in Bath

Bath is permit-controlled across most central residential streets and leans heavily on Park & Ride. For a crew arriving with vans full of tools, that shapes the decision more than the room rate does.

Here is the part worth knowing before you book a hotel. Premier Inn Bath City Centre has no on-site parking at all, and directs guests to two nearby car parks: Southgate and Avon Street.

Avon Street car park
299 spaces, council-run, open 24 hours with no maximum stay — but a height restriction of 5 feet 11 inches, which is 1.8 metres.
Southgate car park
Vehicles must be under 2.1 metres. Its own guidance says large vans and high-roof vehicles may not fit.
What that means
A standard mid-size van is around 1.97 metres before you add a roof rack. Anything high-roof is 2.5 metres or more. A crew in vans cannot use either of the car parks the hotel suggests.

This is not a price argument, it is a physical one. Guests report the hotel car parks at roughly £13 to £14 a night, which is the number people usually compare — but for a van the relevant number is that it will not fit under the barrier.

A house with its own off-street space solves the vehicle problem and the Clean Air Zone problem at the same time, because the same properties that have driveways tend to sit outside the tightest central streets. What is available on your dates depends on the dates, and we will confirm van space per property at quote rather than claim it here.

The honest exception: if your crew travels in cars and works centrally, none of this applies. Cars are exempt from the zone and fit both car parks, and a central hotel may well be the better answer. We would rather tell you that than sell you a house you do not need.

Drive times from a central Bath base — measured, not estimated

Every figure below is routed from BA1 1LZ in central Bath. We hold no stock of our own in Somerset or Wiltshire, so rather than route from a property we do not have, we have used a named central postcode and are telling you that is what we did.

Times are free-flowing and will stretch at shift change; treat them as the floor rather than the promise. Bath sits in a bowl with limited river crossings, so the centre congests quickly.

Locum and agency healthcare crews

The Royal United Hospital at Combe Park is seven minutes from the centre and is comfortably the nearest hospital on the clock. It is a 52-acre acute site with an emergency department, serving a catchment of around half a million people.

Worth knowing if you are searching for it separately: the Royal National Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases is no longer a separate city-centre hospital. It moved onto the RUH Combe Park site in September 2019 as the RNHRD and Brownsword Therapies Centre, so it is the same seven-minute journey.

Be realistic about the rest. Bristol Royal Infirmary is 31 minutes and Southmead 36 — workable for a placement, tiring twice a day for six weeks. Great Western at Swindon is 54 minutes and Salisbury is 68, and we would not recommend a Bath base for either. If the placement is at Swindon, tell us and we will look at Swindon rather than sell you a commute you will resent by week two.

A whole house against six hotel rooms, both sides stated honestly

We publish no blanket percentage saving for Bath. Room rates here swing hard between quiet midweek and tourist season, and the aggregator figures we could find for the same hotel disagreed with each other by a factor of three — so a single percentage would be a number we could not stand behind. What we can evidence precisely is parking and the Clean Air Zone, so that is what the comparison leads on.

Two rows genuinely favour the hotel and one is a straight draw. We have left all three in, because a comparison that only ever points one way is not a comparison.

Bath room rates also spike around the Christmas market, the Bath Half, the Jane Austen Festival, Bath Rugby home fixtures at the Rec and university graduation weeks. If your programme lands on one of those, the gap widens considerably in our favour — but check your dates rather than take that on trust.

What happens when the programme moves — because it will

Extensions. A four-week job becoming six is the most common thing that happens to a booking. Tell us as early as you can and we will extend the same house for the same crew wherever availability allows — same property, same keys, no rebooking from scratch. Bath is tighter than most cities on this because leisure demand books a long way ahead, so early notice is worth more here than elsewhere. We cannot guarantee a specific property indefinitely, and if it is genuinely let after your dates we will say so early enough for you to plan rather than at the last minute.

Cancellation. Stated plainly at the point of quote, in writing, before you pay anything. We do not run a policy you have to find in small print. Worth knowing honestly: a hotel on a flexible rate will beat us on same-day cancellation, and if your dates are genuinely uncertain that is a fair reason to book one.

Deposit. £200, fully refundable after the stay.

Check-in and check-out. Self check-in from 3pm, out by 11am.

Invoicing. One invoice for the whole crew, matched to your PO number, 30-day terms for approved accounts. If you are running Bath alongside Bristol, Swindon or Oxford, it is still one invoice.

Who you are dealing with

Stayful manages around 70 properties across 45+ areas of England and has hosted more than 10,000 nights. Co-founded by Zac Harrison and Martyn Butler. In cities where we hold our own stock you deal with the people who manage the building. Bath is a sourcing city for us today and we hold nothing of our own in Somerset or Wiltshire — you deal with the same team here, and we deal with the operator on your behalf. One number, one email, one person who knows your job. That is a different proposition from a listings site, and we would rather you knew which one you were getting.

Airbnb guest category scores across the Stayful portfolio, August 2026. These are category scores, not an overall company rating, and we do not present them as one.

Read the communication score as operational reliability rather than hospitality. It is 4.9 because things do occasionally go wrong on a booking and we sort them quickly — which is the thing that matters when a boiler fails at 6am and six people need to be on the Claverton Down campus by seven.

Got specific requirements?

Off-street space for two vans. A property outside the Clean Air Zone boundary. A ground-floor bedroom. Pet friendly. Individual rooms with no sharing. Monday-to-Friday only. EV charging. A dining table the whole crew can sit round. We have properties across the portfolio and the sourcing network that cover all of these — but what is available in Bath on your dates depends on the dates, and Bath is tighter than most. Send the requirements and we will tell you exactly what we can do, or tell you honestly if we cannot. With a network this size there is usually more than one way to make a set of dates work, including splitting a larger crew across two nearby houses rather than turning the job away.

The questions bookers ask before they put a crew somewhere new

From £40 to £55 per person per night, all bills included, based on separate beds rather than a headline sleeps figure. A larger house for a bigger crew sits at the bottom of that range; a two-bed for four sits at the top.

Bath is the most expensive city we cover and we would rather explain that than hide it: World Heritage constraints mean very little new supply, and tourism bids for the same houses. The range is market-derived and sourced to brief rather than read off our own booking system. You get a fixed figure at quote.

Only if they do not meet the emissions standard. Bath runs a Class C Clean Air Zone covering the city centre and main approaches, charging £9 a day for non-compliant vans, LGVs and pick-ups and £100 a day for non-compliant HGVs and coaches.

Broadly you need Euro 6 for a diesel, which is most registered from around September 2015, or Euro 4 for petrol. Cars and motorbikes are not charged at all, even when used for work. Several temporary local exemptions have now expired, so check the plate rather than assume. Tell us the vehicles at enquiry and we will factor the zone into where we base you.

Off-street parking comes with some of the houses we source around Bath, and the number of spaces is stated per property before you commit. Van space specifically depends on the property and the dates, so we confirm it at quote rather than claim it here.

It matters more in Bath than anywhere else we cover. Premier Inn Bath City Centre has no on-site parking and points guests at two car parks with height limits of 1.8 and 2.1 metres — a van simply will not fit under either. Tell us how many vans and whether they carry tools overnight.

For one person on a two-night stay, often not. Book a hotel.

For a crew of four or more on a job of a week or longer it turns, and vehicles are a big part of why. Six rooms, plus parking a crew cannot actually use for vans, plus a daily Clean Air Zone charge on non-compliant vehicles, is a different number from the headline room rate. Add a kitchen instead of eating out and it moves further. We publish no blanket percentage for Bath, because room rates here swing too hard between quiet midweek and tourist season for a single figure to be honest.

Yes, up to about ten people in one property. Beyond that we usually place two houses within a few minutes of each other and run them as one booking with one invoice.

The whole property goes to your crew. Nobody else holds a key for the duration, and there are no other guests or tenants in the building.

No. Separate beds for every person as standard, and we quote on separate-bed occupancy rather than the headline sleeps figure, so the per-head number you are given is the one that actually applies.

Bathrooms are a fair question and we will be straight about it: a three-bed Bath house may have one or two bathrooms rather than one each. If en-suites for everyone matter more than a kitchen and parking, a hotel is the better answer and we will say so.

Gas, electricity, water, council tax, broadband, hotel-quality linen and towels, a fully equipped self-catering kitchen, a washing machine, and off-street parking where the property has it. Self check-in from 3pm.

Not included: food, and a £200 damage deposit that is fully refundable after the stay. Clean Air Zone charges are paid by the vehicle keeper direct to the council and are not part of our rate. There is no daily housekeeping — these are houses, not hotel rooms.

Tell us as early as you can and we will extend the same house for the same crew wherever availability allows — same property, same keys, no rebooking from scratch.

Early notice is worth more in Bath than in most cities, because leisure demand books a long way ahead and the stock is tight. If a property is genuinely let after your dates we will tell you early enough to plan rather than at the last minute.

Yes. One invoice for the whole crew, matched to your PO number, with 30-day terms for approved accounts. Nobody needs to put a crew on a personal card and reconcile receipts at month end.

If you are running Bath alongside Bristol, Swindon or Oxford, it is still one invoice and one point of contact across all of them.

The RUH at Combe Park is about seven minutes from a central Bath base, routed from BA1 1LZ. It is comfortably the nearest hospital on the clock.

Worth knowing if you are searching for it separately: the Royal National Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases moved onto the RUH site in September 2019, so it is the same journey. Bristol Royal Infirmary is 31 minutes and Southmead 36 — fine for a placement, tiring twice a day. Swindon at 54 minutes and Salisbury at 68 are too far to commute daily and we would look at those cities instead.

Yes, and it is common on Bath jobs where the crew travels home at weekends. Tell us at enquiry, because a Monday-to-Friday pattern changes which properties work — in a tourist city, weekend-free stock is not the same set as full-week stock.

It can also change the rate in your favour on the right property, so it is worth asking rather than assuming.

No. We do not supply welfare units, portable cabins or modular sleeping accommodation to go inside the hoarding — that is a plant hire question.

What we provide is ordinary residential housing off site, typically within fifteen minutes of the job, with a front door onto a street. It does not depend on the principal contractor's welfare provision and it comes out of a different budget line.

Yes. We source across Bath, north-east Somerset and west Wiltshire. Keynsham is 17 minutes from central Bath, Bradford-on-Avon 18, Trowbridge 24 and Chippenham 30.

This matters for the Wessex Water AMP8 programme in particular, because that work is dispersed across the region rather than concentrated on one compound. A crew working between sites is often better based outside Bath than in it — cheaper, easier to park, and outside the Clean Air Zone. Send the site postcodes and we will tell you where the sensible base is.
