What Should Be Included In Serviced Accommodation For Contractors?

Contractors often prioritise practical amenities that support a comfortable and cost-effective stay. The top amenities include fully equipped kitchens, in-house laundry facilities, easy parking, private living areas, and reliable Wi-Fi. These features provide the comforts of home but also cater to the unique needs of contractors who may temporarily relocate for work.

Fully Equipped Kitchen

A fully equipped kitchen is essential for contractors to feel at home while working away. It enables them to eat home-cooked meals and save money on eating out. Options like a microwave or oven allow them to create easy and quick meals after a long working day.

In-House Laundry Facilities

Providing in-house laundry facilities means that contractors who stay with you can save money on their weekly wash. This is particularly important with contractors, who might be staying for multiple months on long-term work. Aside from monetary savings, the added convenience of doing laundry at home is an attractive feature of any property.


Parking Facilities

Teams of contractors will usually have vans and vehicles for transporting their tools (and themselves). Paid parking fees add up over time, and during a months long job with multiple vehicles, this can become a huge cost for the company. 


If your property has off-road parking, this will be an advantage when contractor teams are searching for property options. Saving so much money isn’t something that gets overlooked, and the convenience of parking outside the property is attractive too.


Private Living Areas

A private living area offers a relaxing space to recover after work hours. This will be more attractive than shared living areas, such as a shared bedroom or using the same kitchen as people outside their party.





Reliable Wi-Fi

In today’s modern world, a reliable Wi-Fi connection is a requirement in any living situation. This will allow contractors to:


  • Fulfil work requirements

  • Communicate with loved ones

  • Relax with streaming or gaming services

  • Manage their life admin e.g. banking or emails

Additional Serviced Accommodation Management For An Enhanced Experience

Beyond the essentials, contractors also value additional amenities that enhance their living experience. These include entertainment options such as Smart TVs, music systems, and outdoor spaces like private gardens. Such amenities contribute to a sense of well-being and can make extended stays more enjoyable.
