Battle, South East • England
Battle is a small historic town in East Sussex, inland from the coast and about six miles north-west of Hastings, in the TN postcode area. Best known for the abbey and the 1066 battlefield, it is also a practical base for trades working across the Hastings and Rother area. KrewBase houses working crews in whole serviced properties around Battle and nearby villages, with bills in, Wi-Fi ready and one monthly invoice going to your office.
Battle itself is old and tight — period cottages and terraces along streets that were never designed for vans. The practical crew houses sit more on the edges and in the villages around town: semis and post-war estates towards Netherfield and Robertsbridge, and larger detached and converted farmhouses further out. We filter for off-road parking, working space indoors, and properties where a crew coming off site at six won't upset the neighbours.
Work around Battle is the usual mix for this part of East Sussex: housing development and renovation on the town's edges, maintenance and improvement of older stock in the villages, and infrastructure jobs along the A21 corridor. Crews working across the wider Hastings and Rother area — construction, care and health-related contracts, logistics — often find Battle and its villages a quieter, cheaper base than the coast itself.
The A2100 drops down to Hastings in about fifteen minutes and links to the A21 coast road, while the A21 north runs towards Tunbridge Wells and the M25 for London-bound work. Robertsbridge station, a few miles north, has trains towards London. Most contracts here are van-based, so we shortlist by drive time from the site gate — Hastings, St Leonards, the A21 corridor or the villages in between.
The whole property, one monthly invoice: rent, council tax, gas, electric, water, broadband, weekly housekeeping and fresh linen. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, parking is matched to your vehicle list, and houses sleeping five or more come with two bathrooms. Maintenance is our call to make, there are no booking fees, and the stay flexes if the programme does. Extensions are a quick confirmation when the job overruns.
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.
Battle's centre is tight period stock, so we usually look at the town's edges and the surrounding villages — Netherfield, Robertsbridge, Sedlescombe. You still get a Battle address and a short drive to site, but with parking and space that actually suits a working crew.
Give us the site, headcount and dates and we normally return a shortlist within two hours. Crews working across East Sussex are usually viewing and booked in within a few working days, and key handover is arranged around your programme rather than our office hours.
Yes, but it needs checking — the old town centre streets are narrow. We shortlist properties with driveways or generous frontage on the estates and in the villages, match them against your vehicle list before offering anything, and avoid anywhere that would leave a van blocking a lane.
Yes — gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband are all in our name and covered in the rate. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in and your office gets one monthly invoice, paid by card, so nobody on the job ever deals with a utility provider or an expense form.
Two people for a fortnight is as welcome as twenty for six months. There is no minimum crew size and no minimum stay, and extending is normally just a conversation if the job overruns. The house, the service and the single monthly invoice stay identical whatever the size of the booking.
We do. Your crew reports a problem to us, our contractor fixes it, and your office never sees the hassle. That means fewer calls to your admin team and no mid-contract negotiations over a broken boiler. Combined with weekly housekeeping and fresh linen, the property stays work-ready throughout.

Battle sits about 28 miles from Brighton. Plenty of crews working here base themselves in the city and drive out, especially on longer jobs or when the local supply is thin. Our contractor accommodation Brighton page covers houses across the wider area — two people or twenty, same service.
