Project accommodation

Accommodation for Port Talbot Tata Steel project crews

A fully-furnished house in Plasmarl, Swansea — a settled base for teams working Tata Steel's £1.25bn decarbonisation of Port Talbot steelworks. Individual beds, a full kitchen and corporate invoicing, on flexible weekly or monthly terms, close to the site.

About the project

Tata Steel's £1.25bn decarbonisation of Port Talbot steelworks is building a new electric arc furnace, targeted to be operational in 2028 and producing around 3 million tonnes of steel a year. Sir Robert McAlpine is principal contractor for the main civil, structural and building works; Skanska is providing civil/structural design and project management from its Bridgend technology team. A genuinely multi-year build, not a short mobilisation — bringing groundworks, structural steel, M&E and specialist subcontractor teams to the area over several years. The same wider decarbonisation programme also includes Project Invictus (the Pickle Line), with contractor Morganstone appointed for civils and structural work — another live Port Talbot workstream drawing in outside teams alongside the electric arc furnace build.

We reference this public project to show the demand we serve — we don't imply any involvement or endorsement.

Where the crews are

Port Talbot steelworks sits around 15–20 minutes from Plasmarl, Swansea via the M4 — the closest live major project to any of our three houses.

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
