Aust, South West • England
Aust clusters along the old ferry lane on the west bank of the Severn in South Gloucestershire, England, in the BS35 postcode area, best known for the M48 Severn Bridge that crosses overhead. Crews base here for work in Bristol, along the Severn corridor and across into South Wales. KrewBase houses them in whole serviced properties — bills, Wi-Fi and parking in, all charged on one monthly invoice.
Aust itself is a scattering of houses along the old ferry lane — pretty, but limited. Crews are usually housed in the neighbouring villages and estates around Severn Beach, Pilning and the Thornbury side, where post-war semis and newer developments offer driveways, garages and the space that working life demands. We vet each property for parking against your real vehicles, make sure the dining table seats the whole crew, and require two bathrooms where five or more are staying. Everything offered is bills-in and ready — no chasing landlords for repairs mid-job.
The Severn crossings pull in logistics and distribution work on both banks, alongside construction and housing development across South Gloucestershire and the Bristol fringe. Infrastructure maintenance on the crossings and the motorway network itself keeps specialist crews in the area, and Bristol's steady drumbeat of building work is a short drive east. Because jobs here cross between England and Wales, we always ask which side of the water the site sits before shortlisting — the right side saves an hour a day.
Aust sits at a genuine junction of routes: the M48 Severn Bridge runs overhead, the M4 and M5 split is minutes away at Almondsbury, and the M49 links down towards Avonmouth. Bristol is roughly twelve miles, Chepstow about five across the bridge, and the M5 carries crews north towards Gloucester or south towards the West Country. There's no station in the village — Bristol Parkway is the nearest mainline option — so we shortlist by drive time, checking crossing traffic patterns before recommending anywhere for a Welsh-side site.
You take the whole house for the duration of the job. Gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband stay in our name and inside the rate, Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, parking is measured against actual vehicles, and properties sleeping five or more come with two bathrooms. Weekly cleaning and fresh linen are included, maintenance is our phone call to make, and everything lands on one monthly invoice, paid by card. No booking fees and no minimum crew or stay — small crews and short jobs get the same service as long contracts.
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.
Aust is very small, so crews are typically housed in Severn Beach, Pilning, Thornbury or the Bristol fringe, depending on which side of the water the site sits. All options are whole serviced houses with bills in, and we shortlist with honest crossing times factored in.
Yes — the M48 Severn Bridge is right there, so Chepstoy and the Welsh side are minutes away. For daily Welsh-side sites we'll shortlist west of the Severn where possible; for mixed work we'll pick the side that keeps the average commute lowest and tell you straight which that is.
Within two working hours of receiving the site, headcount and dates. Properties around the Severn-side villages and the Bristol fringe move regularly, so with a day's notice we can normally line up keys for your agreed arrival. We'll confirm parking and Wi-Fi test results with the shortlist itself.
Yes — rent, gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband are all bundled, with utilities in our name. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in and any failure is our maintenance line's problem, not your crew's evening. Your crew just moves in and gets on with the job.
One monthly invoice covers everything — rent, bills, cleaning and linen — paid by card, with no booking fees. Your accounts team deals with one contact and one line per property, including if the job extends or the crew changes size.
Parking is checked against your actual vehicles before we offer anything. The estates around Severn Beach and Pilning usually have driveways for multiple vehicles; we'll steer you there rather than tighter older streets if you're bringing vans and plant. If you're bringing plant as well, tell us and we'll filter accordingly.

If Aust is short on the right house for your crew, Bristol is the obvious back-up, roughly 10 miles away. See our contractor accommodation Bristol page for what we hold there. Small crews are as welcome as big ones.
