WHY TEAMS STAY HERE

Why contractors need accommodation in Grays

Major infrastructure and energy projects are bringing thousands of contractors into Essex and East London. With the Lower Thames Crossing preparation, the London Gateway port expansion, and the Thurrock flexible generation plant underway, local beds are in high demand. Putting a large team into local hotels quickly drains budgets, especially when standard rooms average around £85 a night and offer no cooking facilities, meaning daily per diem costs skyrocket. Teams working long shifts need more space, proper kitchens, and a quiet place to rest rather than a cramped holiday let or expensive commercial accommodation.

CrewStays sets up your workforce in exclusive, fully managed houses, flats, and apartments across the Grays area. We handle the entire process for project managers and procurement leads, sourcing properties where your tradespeople can live together comfortably. Rather than juggling multiple hotel bookings and individual expense receipts, you receive a single monthly invoice covering rent, all utility bills, and high speed broadband. Rates start from just £30 per person per night, drastically reducing your accommodation spend while keeping your crew close to site, well rested, and ready for the day ahead.

We source contractor properties directly in Grays and across the immediate surrounding areas of Tilbury, Purfleet, Chafford Hundred, and Aveley. This footprint ensures we can match your crew to the closest possible beds for their specific site, keeping morning travel times down.

Getting around this part of Essex relies heavily on the road network, so our houses are selected with van drivers in mind. Most of our local accommodation includes off street parking or unrestricted street parking, allowing easy access to the A13 and the M25 Dartford Crossing. For those travelling without a van, properties near Grays station provide straightforward rail links into East London.

Our local portfolio supports a wide range of industries operating throughout Thurrock. We regularly accommodate groundworkers, heavy plant operators, and engineering teams for the big civil projects, as well as construction crews involved in the ongoing Purfleet regeneration schemes.
