Rhondda Valley

Contractor accommodation for Aberdare & Hirwaun crews

Our two houses in Pentre sit a short run over the Bwlch mountain road from Aberdare and Hirwaun — a practical base for crews working the A465 Heads of the Valleys dualling or based at Hirwaun Industrial Estate, on flexible weekly or monthly corporate terms rather than a string of guesthouse bookings.

Getting to site

Pentre to Aberdare is a short hop over the A4233 Bwlch mountain road linking the upper Rhondda to the Cynon Valley — typically 15–20 minutes. Hirwaun sits just beyond Aberdare on the A465, adding only a few minutes, making both a practical daily commute rather than a long drive.

Projects we host crews for

  • A465 Heads of the Valleys dualling (Hirwaun section)

    The Hirwaun–Dowlais stretch of the A465 upgrade runs right past Hirwaun — civils, earthworks and highway-maintenance crews on multi-month deployments a short drive from Pentre.

  • Hirwaun Industrial Estate

    An established industrial estate on the edge of Hirwaun with manufacturing, logistics and engineering occupiers — contractors on maintenance, fit-out and expansion projects needing a settled base nearby.

We reference these public projects to show the demand we serve — we don't imply any are our clients.

Why crews choose a whole house over hotels

  • One worker per bed; bedrooms may be shared
  • Full self-catering kitchens and laundry for site gear
  • Corporate invoicing on flexible weekly or monthly terms
  • On-street parking and a settled base close to site
