Move in & focus on work
Self check-in, company invoice, 24/7 support for the crew while the project runs.
Built for contractors, not tourists.
Hotels are pricey and impersonal. Generic short-lets weren't designed for site work. Craftsman Stays sits between the two — comfortable, flexible and built around the way contractor projects actually run.
- Properties chosen for trades — boots, vans, early starts welcome.
- Whole-house bookings so the crew stays together.
- Transparent pricing, one invoice per project, VAT-receipted.
- Cover for last-minute changes, extensions and swap-outs.
- Direct line to a human, day or night.
- Operating nationwide with deep cover in major project hubs.

Frequently asked
How quickly can you arrange accommodation?+
Most enquiries are matched within 24 hours. For urgent jobs we can often get keys in hand inside 48 hours, depending on the site location.
Do you handle the whole crew in one property?+
Yes — whole-house bookings are our bread and butter. Crews stay together, which keeps mornings simple and costs predictable.
Can you invoice my company directly?+
Yes. One VAT invoice per project, paid by your company on standard terms.
What if the project gets extended or cut short?+
Tell us as early as you can — we build flexibility in and will always work to extend or release the property without drama.
Are you UK-wide or limited to certain cities?+
We operate nationwide. Our strongest cover is around major project hubs (Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Glasgow, Hinkley Point) but we regularly arrange digs anywhere in the UK.
