Serviced apartments for film, TV and production crews
Cast, crew and production office accommodation, sourced against the shoot schedule — walkable to location, sensible on budget, calm on line-producer stress levels.
Film and TV shoots don’t map to a hotel booking engine. Cast turn up at odd hours, HODs need quiet, art department want space to spread out and heads of production want a single point of contact when the schedule inevitably slides. Serviced apartments handle that pattern much better than hotels: full kitchens, laundry, longer-stay pricing and neighbourhoods that feel like a home base rather than a lobby.
Jigsaw briefs against the shoot schedule — day-out-of-days, night shoots, wrap parties — and matches inventory to the crew list. We handle the whole production office’s accommodation as one file, with itemised billing per department so accountants can reconcile against the production budget.
Where inventory is thin close to unit base, we blend serviced apartments with aparthotels and executive lets, and flag anything with issues that matter on set — thin walls, dawn refuse collections, weekend nightlife — before the shortlist reaches you.
Why Jigsaw
Everything this segment needs, handled by one team.
Close to unit base
Walking-distance where possible, short-drive where not — with parking realities and load-in access sanity-checked up front.
Schedule-flex
Night shoots, weekend units, wrap slippage, reshoots — extensions, downsizes and relocations without restarting the paperwork.
Cast vs crew
Talent placed with the privacy and quiet they need; crew placed where budget lands best — different tiers, one file.
Space to prep
Two- and three-bed apartments for department teams, art and costume prep space, kitchens for meal prep on long days.
Production accounting
Itemised billing per department (cast, crew, prod office, art, camera) so the accountant reconciles against the budget line-by-line.
Reissue-friendly
Reshoots, pickups and additional photography days are handled by the same specialist — no cold-start briefings.

Common questions
Can you handle the whole production’s accommodation on one brief?
Yes. Cast, crew, production office, art and costume — we take one master brief, source across the required tiers and cities and consolidate billing per department so production accountants can code cleanly.
What about reshoots or extended principal photography?
Extensions and reshoots are handled by the same specialist who owned the original brief — the file stays open and reissues happen without cold-start conversations.
Can talent be placed with additional privacy?
Yes. Higher-tier serviced apartments, discreet buildings, private entrances or apartment-hotels with concierge — we scope the privacy tier at brief stage and flag any risk in the shortlist.
Do you work with international productions filming in the UK?
Yes. UK-wide sourcing including per-diem-friendly options for talent visiting from the US, EU and elsewhere.
