Ashby-de-la-Zouch, East Midlands • England
Ashby-de-la-Zouch is a market town in North West Leicestershire in the East Midlands of England, in the LE postcode area, with the A42 passing the town and linking to the M42 and M1. Leicester is about 15 miles south-east and Burton upon Trent a similar distance west. KrewBase arranges whole serviced houses and flats for crews working around Ashby, with bills in our name and one monthly invoice covering everything.
Ashby's streets are a good stock for crew houses: Georgian and Victorian terraces in the older centre, brick semis on the estates built through the last century, and newer estates on the town's edges. Town-centre parking can be tight, so we usually favour the semis and edge-of-town houses with a drive. Each property is checked in person — heating that works, a kitchen built for cooking proper meals, and enough bathrooms for the crew size.
We also shortlist across the nearby towns and villages — Coalville, Measham and the lanes towards the M1 — because jobs around North West Leicestershire rarely sit inside one town's boundary. One house between sites beats a fortnight of hotel changes every time, and we rank the shortlist by real drive time from wherever your site actually is, which is the point of a single base.
Growth across North West Leicestershire keeps a steady flow of construction and housing-development crews in the area, alongside logistics work along the A42 and M1 corridors and manufacturing jobs in the towns either side of Ashby. Crews supporting health facilities in Leicester and Burton also pass through, as do teams on utility and grid maintenance across the district. It is varied, practical work that rotates between sites, which is why crews ask for houses they can keep rather than rooms they have to rebook.
Ashby also makes a sensible base for jobs that sit between the big towns — being equidistant from Leicester, Derby and Burton means one crew house can serve a job that starts in one town and finishes in another without anyone packing a suitcase twice. That is the quiet advantage of a town this size: big enough for shops and takeaways, small enough that the drive across it takes minutes.
The A42 skirts the town and plugs straight into the M42 north and the M1 south, so Birmingham, Leicester, Derby and Nottingham are all within a working commute. Coalville is five minutes away, Burton about 15. Ashby has no working station at present, so crews travel by van — one more reason the shortlist starts with parking. Every property is checked against the real vehicles before it is offered.
Rather than guess distances, we ask for the site postcode and rank every property by the drive at the times your crew will actually travel. A school-run bottleneck through the town centre is the kind of detail that changes which house we recommend, and it is exactly the detail we check. The same applies to jobs further out — Loughborough, Tamworth, the A5 corridor — where a house on the right side of Ashby can shave real time off every morning.
The crew gets the whole property, with every bill in our name — council tax, energy, water and broadband. Wi-Fi is tested before check-in, parking is checked against the actual vehicles, and crews of five or more get two bathrooms. A weekly clean with fresh linen is part of the deal, and maintenance calls come to KrewBase, day or night.
You receive one monthly invoice covering rent and bills paid by card, with no booking fees and no agent-style extras on top. Send us the site postcode, crew size and dates, and during the working day we will normally have a shortlist of checked, available houses back to you within two hours. From there, a yes puts the house on hold and the crew books nothing twice.
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.
During the working day, about two hours from your enquiry. Send the site postcode, crew size and rough dates and we will come back with checked, available houses — each with photos, parking notes and an honest drive time — so you can decide quickly and get on with the job.
Ashby itself plus the surrounding towns and villages: Coalville, Measham, the lanes towards the M1 and the villages north towards Derbyshire. Tell us where the site is and we will weight the shortlist towards the side of town that shortens the commute.
Yes — council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband all sit in our name, so the crew never sets up an account or tops up a meter. Wi-Fi is tested before check-in, and if it is not right on day one, it is our job to fix it before it becomes yours.
Of course. Small crews are welcome — there is no minimum headcount and no gatekeeping. A two-strong team gets the same whole house, the same tested Wi-Fi and the same one monthly invoice as a crew of fifteen. There is no surcharge for small bookings either — the arrangement does not care how many boots are on the mat.
Tell us as soon as you have an inkling. Most owners can extend, the monthly invoice simply continues, and the crew does not have to repack a single bag. If a house truly cannot run longer, we will have an alternative lined up before the original end date.
KrewBase does. The crew calls one number, we log it, and our contractors deal with the landlord and the repair. Urgent problems — no heat, no hot water, a broken lock — jump the queue, because a cold house costs you a day on site.
