Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. We provide accommodation across the Somerset corridor for Hinkley Point C contractor teams, including Bridgwater, Taunton, Highbridge and nearby villages. For nuclear decommissioning sites like Sellafield in Cumbria, we can also source accommodation on request.
Offshore wind O&M crews typically rotate every 1-2 weeks. We structure bookings to align with rotation schedules, accommodation is ready and clean for each incoming crew without coordination overhead for the project manager.
For teams of 20 or more in locations like Somerset or Suffolk, we recommend 6-12 weeks advance notice. Accommodation stock near remote energy sites is limited and gets committed early. Contact us as soon as you have your mobilisation date confirmed.
Yes. National Grid's transmission upgrade programme runs across the country including North of England, East Anglia, South Wales and Scotland. We source accommodation near project substations and cable corridor access points regardless of location.
We issue VAT invoices made out to the contracting company, suitable for project cost accounts and HMRC subsistence expense claims. Invoices can be issued weekly, fortnightly or monthly according to your project's requirements.
