Aldham, East of England • England
Aldham is a small Suffolk village in the IP postcode area, a couple of miles south of Hadleigh on the lanes between the A1071 and the A12. Crews working around Ipswich, Hadleigh or the villages of the Brett valley stay in KrewBase's whole serviced houses and flats — bills in our name, tested Wi-Fi, parking confirmed against your vehicles, and one monthly invoice for the lot.
Villages like Aldham and Hadleigh hold a good stock of farm cottages, brick terraces and 1960s-to-80s semis and bungalows, with a scattering of newer estates on the edges. For crews we lean towards the semis and estate houses: driveways, downstairs loos, space to dry kit. We filter out the pretty-but-impractical cottages — single bathroom, no parking, neighbours an arm's length away — because a crew house has to work on a wet Tuesday morning, not just look right in a photo.
The Brett valley and the corridor between Hadleigh and Ipswich keep a steady flow of trades busy: housing development and extensions in the market towns, agricultural and food-sector work in the surrounding farms and units, utility and grid maintenance, and the usual run of NHS and logistics contracts across Suffolk. We keep it general on purpose — whichever site your crew is on, we shortlist by drive time, not by what the job is called.
Aldham sits just off the A1071, which runs from Hadleigh down to the A14 and A12 corridors west of Ipswich — roughly eight miles to the edge of Ipswich and about two to Hadleigh. The A12 is the fast route north towards Stowmarket and south towards Colchester. Most crews here travel by van; if the job is rail-served, Ipswich station is the practical option. We shortlist houses by minutes to site rather than parish, so a move from Hadleigh to Ipswich doesn't strand the crew in the wrong village.
Your company takes the whole house; we hold the bills, the Wi-Fi and the maintenance. Broadband is speed-tested before check-in, the weekly clean and fresh linen are included, and parking is verified against your actual vehicles. Five or more in the crew means two bathrooms as standard. You get one monthly invoice, paid by card — no booking fees, no deposit surprises, and the invoice doesn't change if your headcount shifts week to week.
Send us the requirement — town, dates, headcount, vehicles and any shift pattern we should know about. We come back within 2 hours with a shortlist from property we already hold, not a search we have just started. You pick, we confirm, the crew moves in, and we stay on it for the length of the job. One monthly invoice, card payment for limited companies, no booking fees.
About two hours from your enquiry to a shortlist. Send the site postcode, headcount and start date and we'll pull whole houses around Aldham, Hadleigh and the Ipswich edge that genuinely fit the drive. Once you choose, the paperwork is same-day.
Aldham itself, Hadleigh, Kersey, Bildeston, Wattisham and the villages along the A1071, plus the west Ipswich fringe if that's where the drive takes you. If your site moves along the corridor, we re-shortlist by drive time so the morning commute stays sensible.
Yes — one monthly invoice to your accounts team paid by card. It covers rent, bills, Wi-Fi, cleaning and maintenance in a single line of admin. No booking fees and no per-person charging, whoever is in the house that month.
Every shortlisted house is checked against your vehicle list before we offer it. Vans and pickups need real drive space, so we filter for it — lane-side cottages with no turning room simply don't make the cut for a working crew.
Bags and food, basically. The house comes furnished with working heating, speed-tested Wi-Fi, an equipped kitchen and beds made up with fresh linen. Work kit lives in the vans or the hall — there's no landlord's furniture to tiptoe around.
Yes. Blackout options where we have them, quiet rooms away from the road where possible, and a weekly clean timed around the crew's sleep pattern rather than against it. Tell us the shift pattern at quote stage and we'll factor it into the shortlist.
