Working on UK data centre builds
The UK is one of Europe's largest data centre markets, with hyperscale and colocation campuses concentrated west of London, Slough is the densest cluster in Europe, and growing footprints around Greater London, the Thames Valley, Manchester and South Wales. Each campus build runs in repeating phases: shell and core, then intensive M&E fit-out, then commissioning, often with several data halls in flight at once.
The workforce profile is distinctive: large mechanical and electrical contingents, specialist commissioning engineers who fly between projects, and long programmes that ramp headcount up and down hall by hall. Sites sit in business-park locations where nearby hotels are limited, corporate-priced and poorly suited to crews on long stays.
How we house data centre crews
We build housing clusters around each campus, furnished houses for M&E gangs, apartments for commissioning specialists on shorter rotations, within sensible commutes of the Slough/West London corridor and other hubs. Crews get kitchens, fast Wi-Fi and parking options; project leads get the flexibility to scale beds up as fit-out peaks and back down after handover.
Billing is consolidated to one account and one invoice, which suits contractors running several halls or several campuses in parallel.
Frequently asked questions
Yes - we regularly accommodate SC and DV cleared personnel for government and hyperscale data centre projects, with enhanced security protocols and confidentiality agreements.
Absolutely - data centres are long-term projects, and we provide multi-year accommodation contracts with phase-by-phase scaling as construction progresses.
Across our UK data centre corridor properties, we can accommodate 500+ beds within our established accommodation network, with emergency standby capacity for sudden crew increases.
We house teams across Slough itself plus Reading, west London and nearby Thames Valley towns, close to the campuses but away from airport-corridor hotel pricing.
Yes. Data hall programmes ramp in waves, so we add houses as M&E peaks and release them after commissioning, without the cancellation exposure of block hotel bookings.
Yes, including Manchester, Cardiff and other regional builds. With 175+ locations we can usually cluster housing wherever the campus is.
Yes. Where a build needs cleared and non-cleared workers housed separately, we can split them across different properties in the same cluster and keep it all on one company account.
