The fundamentals our contractor guests quietly test
By the time a team has stayed away from home for a few weeks, they have a clear sense of what makes life easier or harder.
- Location close to site – calm mornings, minimal travel.
- Sleep that actually restores – strong mattresses, quiet layouts.
- Hot water and heating that work – zero guesswork after shifts.
- Reliable connectivity – for updates, calls home and match nights.
The contractors we look after are not looking for drama. They are looking for a base that respects the fact they are at work.
How a stay feels, day to day
Small choices shape whether a stay feels calm or chaotic:
- Straightforward arrival – predictable, well-lit, well-explained.
- Spaces that cope with real use – robust flooring and seating.
- Somewhere to reset – workable living areas for food and downtime.
- Clear house notes – practical instructions, not guesswork.
Layouts that respect teams, not just guests
Team bookings change what matters inside the home:
- Fair, functional sleeping arrangements
- Shared spaces that stay ordered
- Bathrooms that avoid queues
The best compliment we hear from contractor teams is simple: “We didn’t have to think about the accommodation.”
Where we quietly upgrade for contractor stays
We strengthen what carries load, simplify daily touchpoints, reduce clutter and prepare for real-world use.
- Beds, seating, flooring, lighting.
- Access, heating controls, storage.
- Remove unnecessary décor that complicates cleaning.
- Boots, bags and equipment get a home, too.
How Nectar selects homes for contractor partners
Not every property suits contractor work – and that is perfectly fine. We look at local project patterns, team sizes and rhythms before deciding.
