Working on the NeuConnect converter station on the Isle of Grain? Tell us your crew size, dates and trade package and we will source long-stay housing across Grain, Hoo St Werburgh, Rochester, Strood and Chatham.
We arrange accommodation for contractors in Isle of Grain on a project basis, priced for the length of the stay rather than a nightly rate.
NeuConnect is a 1.4GW, £2.4bn high voltage direct current interconnector between Britain and Germany, with about 725km of subsea cable running from the Isle of Grain on the Hoo Peninsula to Wilhelmshaven. Siemens Energy is the main contractor for the converter stations and Prysmian supplies the cable. Financial close came in July 2022, drilling for the landfall and earthworks started in 2023, and construction of the UK converter station began in 2024.
In September 2026 NeuConnect reported the converter halls at full height, seven transformers in position and Siemens Energy starting mechanical and electrical fit-out, with trial operations planned for late 2027 and full operation in 2028. Grain is a village of about 1,730 people at the end of the peninsula, with very little visitor accommodation, so fit-out and commissioning teams base in Hoo St Werburgh, Rochester, Strood and Chatham.
We source long-stay accommodation for teams with confirmed work on the NeuConnect converter station, matched to the drive along the Hoo Peninsula rather than a generic Medway search.
We assess practical locations across Grain, Hoo St Werburgh, Rochester, Strood and Chatham based on your actual site access, commute, crew size, parking and accommodation standards rather than a generic city search.
We can source for specialist rotations, staggered arrivals, multi-month assignments and extensions as packages move through the programme, subject to live availability.
We look for accommodation with kitchens, laundry, reliable WiFi, parking and suitable bedroom configurations for sustained assignments.
