ABOUT CREWSTAYS
Built by people who understand life on the road.
We started CrewStays because we lived the problem. Years of working away, staying in substandard accommodation, and dealing with endless admin taught us there had to be a better way.
OUR STORY
Our Story
CrewStays was founded with a straightforward mission: to make finding and managing contractor accommodation painless. Our team spent years working on major infrastructure projects across the UK, experiencing first-hand the frustration of poorly organised lodgings.
Hotels were expensive and impractical. Searching for houses took hours. Invoicing was a mess. We knew that if we combined our construction industry knowledge with hospitality expertise, we could build something genuinely useful.
Today, operating from our base in Harold Wood, Essex, we serve contractors and project teams across 160+ UK locations. Our approach is simple: treat every crew member like we'd want to be treated after a long shift.
OUR VALUES
What drives us
Industry Knowledge
We come from construction. We understand early starts, changing rosters, and the need for proper rest after a hard day's graft.
Genuine Service
Every client gets a dedicated account manager. No call centres, no chatbots — real people who get to know your project inside out.
Fair Pricing
No sourcing fees, no hidden charges. We negotiate the best rates and pass the savings directly to you. Transparent, always.
OUR EXPERIENCE
What we bring to the table
Our team combines hands-on construction industry experience with property management and hospitality expertise. Here's what that means for you:
- We understand programme changes, possession windows, and phased mobilisation
- We know what crews actually need after a 10-hour shift — not what a hotel chain thinks they need
- We speak your language — no jargon, no corporate waffle
- We've stayed in contractor digs ourselves and know what good looks like
- We handle the admin so site managers can focus on the job
- We build relationships with property owners who understand working tenants
