Spill's employee assistance programme (EAP) for builders & contractors
Payment chains that stall, weather that wrecks the programme, and half the crew self-employed with no safety net. Building work piles pressure on people long before anyone talks about it. Spill gives everyone on your books, subcontractors included, same-day access to a qualified therapist. They book by text from their own phone, nobody on site knows, and it costs £75 a month for the whole team.
Same day counselling sessions
Rolling 30 day contract
Unlimited access from £75 per month
Proudly supporting building crews across the UK
The pressures building crews carry from site to site
On average two construction workers take their own life every working day in the UK (Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity, 2024). Behind that number sit payment chains that stall wages, weather that wrecks schedules, and self-employed workers with no sick pay to fall back on. Support has to be easy to reach and completely private, or it won't get used.
Suicide risk
Men in construction are 3.7x more likely to die by suicide than the male national average. (ONS, via Mates in Mind 2022)
Daily stress
58% of built-environment workers experience stress often, and 50% experience anxiety often. (CIOB, 2025)
Two lives a day
On average, two construction workers take their own life every working day in the UK. (Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity, 2024)
What proper support does for a building firm
Crews that are sleeping, coping and turning up do safer, faster work, and they stay. When support is private and bookable by text, people actually use it before problems become absences.

Build resilience on the front line
Give your team practical tools to handle rush-hour pressure, difficult customers and long days on their feet.
Keep the team sharp
Staff who get support for personal and work struggles bring more energy to every shift.
Cut short-notice absence
Early support stops small struggles snowballing into last-minute call-outs and long sick leave.
All-in-one EAP for your team
Unlimited counselling sessions
A completely private way for site and office staff to talk to a qualified therapist, booked by SMS or email with no forms and nobody on site any the wiser. Same-day sessions from 7am to 9:30pm, seven days a week.
Self-guided wellbeing resources
A library of practical, evidence-based resources written by licensed therapists who understand the unique pressures construction workers face. Covering over 200 topics from stress and anxiety to financial wellbeing and sleep, our online resources can be accessed at any time. They're a great first step for anyone who's not quite ready to speak to a counsellor directly.
Expert guidance and training
Practical, therapist-led training workshops designed to empower staff to spot mental health presentations within nurseries, schools and universities and know how to appropriately respond. Teachers can also check in with a Spill safeguarding clinician for advice at any time.
An EAP the way it should be
Proper mental health support that’s incredibly easy to access.
No hidden exclusions, no hoops to jump through, and no unexpected exit fees.
