Who Stays with Us
Mostly it's:
- Construction crews and contractors working on the Thameside Energy Recovery Facility (TERF) at the Port of Tilbury — a multi-million pound waste-to-energy plant being built by Kanadevia Inova for Viridor, processing 350,000 tonnes of waste per year when operational in 2028. A project of this scale means years of contractor accommodation demand.
- Workers on the Tilbury2 Port Expansion and Thames Freeport development — major long-term infrastructure projects bringing significant workforce activity to the area.
- Logistics and port staff working at the Port of Tilbury — one of the UK's busiest ports.
- Corporate guests and business travellers working across the Thurrock and South Essex area.
- Insurance and relocation cases — we work directly with loss adjusters and relocation companies, flexible invoicing, extended stays, no hassle.
The Area
Tilbury sits on the north bank of the Thames Estuary, directly across the river from Gravesend in Kent. It's a working industrial town with everything you need day-to-day close by, and easy road access across Essex and into Southeast London. The area is seeing significant long-term investment — TERF, Thames Freeport, Tilbury2, and the Lower Thames Crossing nearby are all bringing sustained construction and workforce activity over the coming years. If you're working in this corridor, Tilbury puts you right in the middle of it.
