We house working crews in Redcar in whole residential properties — not hotel rooms, not shared houses with other tenants, not site cabins.
If you are pricing contractor accommodation in Redcar for a crew on Net Zero Teesside Power, a shutdown at Wilton International, the SeAH Wind monopile plant at South Bank or a berth job at Teesport, this page gives you the per-person numbers and how the process works.
Redcar is the closest town to the biggest industrial build in the country, and the accommodation market here has not caught up with that.
Teesworks sits on the old Redcar steelworks, seven miles and sixteen minutes from our front door. Net Zero Teesside Power — the bp and Equinor carbon capture scheme — entered construction as the first project in the East Coast Cluster, and at peak it needs more than two thousand construction workers on that one site.
There is no Premier Inn in Redcar. The nearest are Middlesbrough, Stockton and Hartlepool, which means a crew put in a hotel commutes back into Redcar every morning.
Whatever you call it — contractor stays, workers accommodation Redcar, business or professional accommodation, contractor digs or self catering for contractors — it is the same purchase: a furnished property, priced by the night, with the bills in the rate.
Search for contractor accommodation Redcar or contractors accommodation Redcar and you land in the same place: we are actively placing crews across Redcar and Cleveland, Teesside, Middlesbrough and the North Yorkshire coast. Send us the site postcode, the headcount and the start date.
What is contractor accommodation in Redcar?
Contractor accommodation in Redcar is whole residential property — typically a house sleeping three to eight in separate beds — arranged for working crews on project terms. Our own Redcar house works out from £23 per person per night all in, bills included, typically 30 to 45 percent less per person than Teesside hotel rooms for the same crew. Source basis: live booking rates on the Stayful Redcar property, August 2026.
Straight answer: one bookable house. A three-bedroom property at Coatham, a few minutes from Redcar seafront, available from the end of August and quoting from £61 per night for the whole house — £23 per person per night on a four-week programme with three people in three separate beds. We also manage a two-bedroom house at Dormanstown, but it is on a long let and blocked solid into 2027, so you will not find it in the rate table or the carousel below — we do not advertise property you cannot book. For a crew of six to twenty we source to brief across Teesside, including from our twelve Darlington houses thirty-three minutes from Teesworks, and from operators we work with and vet. Send the site postcode, headcount and start date and we confirm what we can place, or tell you straight if we cannot.

We come back the same working day with what we can put together and a fixed quote. Whole houses for the crew, bills, wifi and linen in the rate, a separate bed for everyone. Minimum stay on our Redcar house is two nights — there is no seven-night rule here. If we cannot cover it ourselves we will say so and tell you who can.
Or browse the properties we have live nowHow much does contractor accommodation cost per person per night in Redcar?
From £23 per person per night on our own Redcar house on a four-week programme, bills included, three people in three separate beds. A single week on the same house runs £26 to £33 per person. Larger crews sourced across Teesside sit in a £24 to £34 range. Source basis: live booking rates read from the Stayful booking system, August 2026.

| Whole house, larger crew sourced to your site | 6–8 | £24–34 pppnRedcar, Marske, Guisborough, Middlesbrough, Darlington | From 7 nights |
| Two or more houses briefed close together | 8–20 | £24–34 pppnPhased as the programme ramps up | From 7 nights |
Rates as of August 2026, read from the live booking system rather than a price list, and they move with the date.
The cheapest week we can currently sell on the Coatham house is £75.71 a night all in. The dearest is £98.14. That is the same house, same beds — Teesside demand simply moves.
Longer bookings come down, and they come down properly. A week carries a 10 percent discount and four weeks carries 20 percent, which is what takes the same house from £33 per person on a single week to £23 on a four-week programme.
The pppn figure divides the whole-property rate by beds a contractor can actually sleep in on his own, never by a maximum occupancy that counts a sofa.
That is worth knowing when you compare quotes. The Coatham house is listed as sleeping five. We quote it as three, because three bedrooms means three men in their own rooms. Quoting five would let us advertise £14 per person and hand you two men sharing on arrival day.
If you are happy for the crew to double up we will tell you exactly what that saves. What we will not do is publish the lower number and let you find out later.
The £24 to £34 range for larger crews is a sourcing indication, not a fixed price list. The £23 and the £61 are real, verified figures on a specific house. Send us the site, the headcount and the budget you have to work to and we come back with a fixed quote the same working day.
Is contractor accommodation cheaper than a hotel in Redcar?
Yes, for a crew. Teesside hotel rooms run roughly £50 to £80 a night per person before parking or breakfast, and none of them are in Redcar itself. A whole house at £23 to £33 per person per night, bills included, puts a crew well below that — typically 30 to 45 percent less once parking, kitchen and laundry are counted.
Do you have accommodation near Teesworks and Net Zero Teesside?
Yes. Our Coatham house is 7.1 miles and about 16 minutes from the Teesworks site and the Steel House park and ride, and 7.2 miles and 14 minutes from Net Zero Teesside Power. Teesworks occupies the former Redcar steelworks, so Redcar is the nearest town to the site rather than a commute across Teesside.
Teesworks is the largest industrial zone in the country and the heart of the Teesside Freeport, which covers 4,500 acres and was the UK's first to become operational.
Three things on that site generate crew demand right now, and they are worth naming precisely because most accommodation listings for this town still name projects that have stopped.
Net Zero Teesside Power is the bp and Equinor joint venture building the world's first industrial-scale gas-fired power station with carbon capture, more than 740 megawatts, delivered by Balfour Beatty with Technip Energies. It is the first East Coast Cluster project to enter construction. The first major equipment landed at Redcar Bulk Terminal in April 2026, and Balfour Beatty was recruiting mechanical and site engineers across Teesside in May 2026. Peak construction is over two thousand workers.
SeAH Wind runs the world's largest offshore wind monopile factory on the south bank of the Tees — a £950 million, half-mile-long building now in production, taking Hornsea 3 components across the new Steel River Quay.
Wilton International is the Sembcorp process cluster nine minutes from the house, and it works on shutdown and turnaround cycles rather than a single build programme. Shutdown work is short notice, high headcount and does not care what the accommodation market is doing that fortnight.
Redcar and Cleveland also produces a steady flow of individuals rather than only crews of eight — inspectors, commissioning engineers, project managers and consultants on multi-week assignments at Wilton, Teesport and the Wilton Centre.
For one or two people the sensible unit is still the whole house, quoted per property at £61 a night rather than per person. It is the same purchase a hotel cannot match once you want a kitchen and a washing machine for six weeks.
Every house is fully self-catering. A real kitchen the crew can cook six dinners in, not a kettle and a microwave on a shelf. Self catering is the whole point on a six-week job — eating out every night costs more than the accommodation does.
Van parking is the question worth asking first, and Redcar answers it better than most towns we cover.
This is a coastal residential town, not a city centre. There is no clean air zone, no residents' permit scheme across the ordinary streets, and the housing stock is the sort that comes with a drive or a hardstanding rather than a shared bay.
What we will not do is claim every property has room for three vans. We brief it per house and confirm it in writing in the quote before you commit, because a liveried van full of tools left in an unfamiliar street overnight is your liability, not a detail.
If the crew is arriving in vans, say how many on the enquiry. It changes which properties we look at, and it is far cheaper to get right at the quoting stage than on arrival day.
One genuine local constraint, stated plainly: Redcar is a seaside town, and July and August compete with holiday demand in a way that February does not. A summer shutdown books harder than a winter one. The earlier you send dates, the better the house.
Two minutes. A postcode, a number of beds and your budget per head is enough to start.
What we can put together on your dates, a fixed quote, the drive time to your site and the van parking position on that specific property, in writing.
£200, fully refundable after the stay. We can invoice the company against your PO instead of taking a card.
Access codes sent ahead. No key handover to arrange, no one to meet. Check-out 11am.
Send the dates even if the job is not signed off yet — we will hold a quote so you can put a real number in the tender.
The number that matters is beds, not heads on a listing. Here is what each size of booking actually looks like around Redcar.
Splitting a crew across three hotels because no single place had eight rooms is the problem this replaces. One address, one front door, one invoice.
Where a single house cannot take the whole crew we brief two within a few minutes of each other and of your site — never one at Redcar and one at Hartlepool with the Tees between them.
Teesside geography makes that specific. The river splits the industrial estate from half the housing stock, and the crossings are the constraint. A crew working the south bank at Teesworks or Wilton belongs in Redcar, Marske or east Middlesbrough. Putting them in Hartlepool adds thirty-six minutes each way, which over a six-week programme is close to sixty hours of your crew's time.
Stayful manages 70 properties across 45+ areas of England directly — including both Redcar houses and twelve in Darlington, thirty-three minutes from Teesworks. That matters for two reasons. Where the property is ours you are talking to the people responsible for it, not a middleman relaying messages to a host. And where we source from a partner operator on Teesside, we are vetting it as operators who know what a working crew actually needs, rather than forwarding whatever a listings feed returned. We will always tell you which of the two you are getting — and on this page we have told you exactly which one house is ours and bookable, and which one is not.
Coatham sits in TS10 on the seafront side of Redcar, straight onto the A1085 and the A174. It is where our bookable three-bedroom house is, and it is the postcode every figure below is routed from.

Distances and times are road-routed from TS10, measured August 2026. A 6.30am run down the A1085 to Teesworks is usually quicker than the figures above; the A66 into Middlesbrough at 8am is not.
Sourced houses are matched to your site, not to this postcode. A crew working Wilton is nine minutes out from here, which is closer than any hotel bed on Teesside gets them.
The Darlington row is there for a reason. Twelve Stayful houses sit thirty-three minutes from the Teesworks gate, and for a crew of twelve that cannot be housed in one Redcar property, that is real supply rather than a promise.
Named schemes for the record: Teesworks and Net Zero Teesside.
Almost all the crew demand around Redcar pulls in one direction — west, along the A1085 and the south bank of the Tees, into a single industrial estate that happens to be the largest in the country.
That is unusual and it works in your favour. In most cities we cover the work is scattered and the right base is a compromise. Here the work is concentrated in one place, and Redcar is the residential town sitting next to it.
The one exception is the river. Anything on the north bank — Hartlepool, Billingham, Seal Sands — is a different journey entirely, and we would base a crew working there in Stockton or Hartlepool rather than sell them a Redcar house and a bridge.
James Cook University Hospital sits nineteen minutes away, which is why this page also serves locum doctors, agency nurses and the FM and equipment crews who work on hospital sites.
This is a project delivery argument, not a welfare one, and it is worth making plainly because it decides more bookings than price does.
A crew that sleeps in separate rooms in a quiet residential street, cooks a proper meal after a ten-hour shift and washes its own workwear turns up on site the next morning able to work.
A crew in twin rooms thirty-six minutes away, eating takeaways for six weeks and running out of clean kit by Wednesday, does not.
Sites with poor morale record materially higher accident rates, and fatigue from short sleep raises risk both on site and on the drive home. On a carbon capture build with a live commissioning programme, that is not an abstract concern.
Accommodation is one of the few inputs to it you can actually control at the quoting stage.
It is also the argument that answers your client. Welfare standards you can point at in a pre-start meeting are worth more than a slightly lower line in the accommodation budget.
So when we say separate beds as standard, a full kitchen, a washing machine and a quiet residential street two minutes from the beach, those are not amenities on a list. They are the reasons the programme does not slip in week four.
The row that decides it is usually the sixth one. There is no hotel in Redcar, so a crew booked into hotel rooms is either split across Middlesbrough and Stockton or commuting sixteen minutes back into Redcar every morning to reach the site.
The house removes both problems at once, and it is cheaper per head while doing it.
To be straight about the exception: if you need one bed for one night, a Premier Inn in Middlesbrough will be cheaper and easier than us, and we will tell you so on the phone.
Booking direct means you deal with us rather than a platform's resolution centre. What you get instead is 0113 479 0251, answered by the people who manage the property, and the same cancellation terms that apply to that property on Airbnb.

Parking that fits three vans. A second bathroom. A ground floor bedroom. Everyone in their own room with no sharing. Monday to Friday only. Eight beds from the same Sunday, twenty minutes from the Teesworks gate. Night shift arrivals at 2am off a commissioning rota. Tell us the requirement and the budget you have to work to — we come back the same working day with what we can put together, put you in front of an operator who can cover what we cannot, or tell you honestly that your number will not buy it here. With 70 properties across England, twelve of them in Darlington within thirty-three minutes of Teesworks, and operators across Teesside, there is usually more than one way to make a set of dates work, including two nearby houses rather than turning the booking away. What we will not do is take the booking and scatter your crew across three postcodes.
From £23 per person per night on our own three-bedroom Redcar house on a four-week programme, bills included — rent, gas, electricity, water, council tax, wifi and linen, with the cleaning fee spread across the stay. A single week on the same house runs £26 to £33 per person depending on the date. Larger crews sourced across Teesside sit in a £24 to £34 range. The £23 and the whole-house rate of £61 a night are read from the live booking system in August 2026; the wider range is a sourcing indication, so send the site and headcount for a firm quote.
Yes, two, and only one of them is bookable — we would rather say that plainly than imply a portfolio we do not hold. The bookable one is a three-bedroom house at Coatham near the seafront, free from the end of August, sleeping three in separate beds. The second is a two-bedroom house at Dormanstown which is on a long let and blocked into 2027, so it appears nowhere in our rate table, property count or carousel. For crews of six and up we source across Teesside, including from our twelve Darlington houses thirty-three minutes from Teesworks.
Yes, and Redcar is the closest town to both. Our Coatham house is 7.1 miles and about 16 minutes from the Teesworks site, the Steel House park and ride and Redcar Bulk Terminal, and 7.2 miles and 14 minutes from Net Zero Teesside Power. Teesworks occupies the former Redcar steelworks, so this is not a commute across Teesside — it is the next town along. The 1,500-space park and ride beside Steel House was built specifically to move the NZT construction workforce onto the site.
Yes. SeAH Wind on the south bank is 5.8 miles and 12 minutes from the house, and Wilton International is 4.6 miles and 9 minutes — the closest major site to us. Wilton runs on shutdown and turnaround cycles rather than one long build, which means short notice and high headcount, so ring rather than emailing if a turnaround date has just landed on you.
Usually yes, and Redcar makes it easier than most places we cover. There is no clean air zone, no residents' permit scheme across the ordinary streets, and the housing stock generally comes with a drive or hardstanding rather than a shared bay. We still confirm it in writing per property rather than claiming it across the board. Tell us how many vans on the enquiry and we brief for it.
No. A separate bed for every person is standard and we do not quote room sharing unless you specifically ask for it. It is also why our per-person figure divides by beds a contractor can sleep in on his own. The Coatham house is listed as sleeping five but we quote it as three, because three bedrooms means three men in their own rooms.
Gas, electricity, water, council tax, fast wifi, hotel-quality linen and towels, a fully equipped kitchen, a washing machine, and self check-in from 3pm with your own key. Not included: the cleaning fee, which is £100 on the Coatham house and quoted per property elsewhere, the £200 refundable damage deposit, travel costs and parking fines, and pets or smoking indoors unless a specific property allows it.
For a crew, yes. Teesside hotel rooms run roughly £50 to £80 a night per person before parking or breakfast. A whole house at £23 to £33 per person per night with bills included puts a crew well below that — typically 30 to 45 percent less once parking, kitchen and laundry are counted. There is also no hotel in Redcar itself, so hotel rooms mean Middlesbrough, Stockton or Hartlepool and a commute back in each morning. For one person for one night, a hotel will usually still be cheaper and we will say so.
Yes, and they are applied automatically rather than negotiated. A weekly booking carries 10 percent off and four weeks carries 20 percent. On the Coatham house that is the difference between £33 per person per night on a single week and £23 on a four-week programme, which is why a commissioning programme prices better per night than a short visit.
Yes. Tell us on the enquiry that it is Monday to Friday, because it changes which properties work — a house we can also let at weekends prices differently from one held empty. It is a common ask on Teesside from crews travelling back down the A19 or across to the north west at weekends.
Yes. One invoice for the whole crew, matched to your PO number, with 30-day terms for approved accounts. One contact and one number for the whole booking rather than a receipt per person to reconcile at month end.
Tell us as early as you can and we extend the same house where it is still free, or move you to the nearest alternative. Four weeks becoming six is normal on a build like Net Zero Teesside. We cannot guarantee a specific property on dates it is already booked, but you will not be rebooking from scratch and you will not have to chase us for an answer.
We come back the same working day with what we can put together and a fixed quote. For a Friday enquiry needing a crew housed by Monday, or a Wilton turnaround that has just moved, ring 0113 479 0251 rather than filling in the form — short notice is exactly the case where sourcing beats a fixed portfolio, but it needs a conversation.
We answer calls during working hours. Site managers ring rather than fill in forms, and that is fine.
