Trying to find the right accommodation years gone by was arduous saying the least. Walking around a strange town knocking on doors of Bed and Breakfasts trying to knock down the price for a contractor was a common occurrence for a travelling Pipefitter. 

Due to the onset of the internet you can book your accommodation before you set off for  work. Even cheap chain hotels offer clean, affordable and comfortable accommodation.

Bed and Breakfast accommodation can be hit and miss but if you find the right place then a B&B can be great value for money.

The use of caravans and chalets on holiday parks especially in the off season can also be great value for money especially if you can share. Our advice is always share accommodation with a friend or trusted work colleague never a stranger.

Try and use a travel guide website such as TripAdvisor where you can read reviews, look at photos and even book your stay.

Also look on travel websites that compare prices of hotels to the best deal. 

We have listed a few to help you decide you can click on the links or alternatively call them yourself.

Always use a website that is secure and has the lock symbol in the address bar.

A handy tip is ti download the App of the hotel chain you choose, sometimes discounts and reward schemes can be offered.

Another tip is to download an App for a money saving website such as Groupon where you can get discounts off food and things to do.

​

We at PC also advise any person whilst being away from home to tell a friend or colleague if you go out alone where you are going and when you will be back. Never get into situations where you put yourself and others at risk. 

If you feel depressed or lonely, talk to a friend or colleague about your fears and concerns. if you cant then talk to a professional body such as the Samaritans. Don't ever feel isolated, working away from your family and friends. We hope this information on this website is useful.
