Contractor Accommodation Durham
Contractor accommodation in Durham built around the job — a whole house for the crew, secure parking for the vans, bills included and VAT invoices for the books.
Why Contractor Accommodation beats a hotel in Durham
Our contractor accommodation in Durham is built around the way people really work away — a comfortable furnished base where the team can cook, relax and recharge, with bills, WiFi and parking handled so the only thing left to think about is the work.
Who stays with us in Durham
Contractor Accommodation in Durham suits contractors, trades and project crews who are tired of hotels — the ones who want a kitchen, a sofa, a washing machine and a front door of their own. We size the property to the team and keep the same rate whether you arrive on a Monday or a bank holiday.
A full kitchen that pays for itself
The kitchen and living room are not luxuries on a working stay — they are how you keep costs and morale in check. In Durham our properties let you cook, eat in and relax properly, which over a few weeks makes a meaningful dent in the total spend.

Where we cover around Durham
Our Durham properties are part of a North East-wide network. Beyond Durham itself we regularly arrange contractor accommodation throughout County Durham and neighbouring areas — useful when a project spans more than one site.
Flexible terms and clear pricing
