Berkeley, South West • England
Set on the flat ground between the Severn estuary and the Cotswold edge, Berkeley is a small town in Gloucestershire, South West England, in the GL postcode area. It sits a couple of miles off the A38, about fifteen miles south-west of Gloucester, with the M5 within easy reach at junctions 13 and 14. KrewBase houses work crews in whole serviced properties here — bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, parking matched to your vehicles, and one monthly invoice for the company.
Berkeley itself is compact: a mix of older stone and brick terraces near the centre, post-war semis and a handful of small estates around the town's edge. Out in the surrounding vale you'll find more modern detached and semi-detached houses, often with proper driveways. For crews, those edge-of-town and out-of-town houses are the sweet spot — space for vans, room to dry work gear and easy access without threading narrow streets. We only put forward houses we've vetted for parking, access and plain practicality.
The Berkeley Vale has long-running energy and decommissioning work that keeps specialist crews in the area for months at a stretch, alongside steady construction and housing development around Gloucester, Sharpness and the Severn-side towns. There's also logistics work around the docks and manufacturing along the vale, plus the usual run of local infrastructure and maintenance jobs. Crews working across Gloucestershire often base here because it's well connected without paying city prices for accommodation.
The A38 passes a couple of miles east of town and runs north to Gloucester in about twenty-five minutes and south towards Bristol, while the M5 at junctions 13 and 14 puts the wider South West within reach. Sharpness and the Severn crossings are close by for estuary-side jobs. The nearest mainline station is Cam and Dursley, roughly five miles away, so day-to-day travel is by road. For sites scattered around the vale we shortlist by measured drive time, not postcode guesswork.
Your company takes the whole house — no shared corridors, no per-room rates. We hold the bills in our name, test the Wi-Fi before your crew arrives and verify parking against the vehicles on your list. For five or more people we aim for two bathrooms, and a weekly clean with fresh linen keeps the place straight. Maintenance is our problem, not your supervisor's. You receive one monthly invoice, paid by card, with no booking fees and no minimum crew or stay.
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.
Give us the site postcode, headcount, vehicle list and start date, and we'll normally return a shortlist of vetted houses within two working hours. Each comes with photos, parking details and a fixed weekly rate, so decisions can happen the same day and your crew isn't waiting around in a hotel.
Yes — we cover the vale around Berkeley, including the villages towards Sharpness, Wotton-under-Edge and Cam, plus Gloucester and the A38 corridor. If your site moves along the M5 or towards Bristol, we'll re-shortlist around the new drive time. The aim is a short, reliable drive whichever way the job points.
It's one of the main reasons companies choose us over hotels. Your crew gets a whole house, so people coming off nights can sleep without housekeeping knocking, cook at 3am if they want, and come and go as the shift pattern demands. We just ask for a heads-up so we place you considerately.
Happens all the time. Extensions are usually straightforward — we agree the extra weeks at the same rate where possible, and your crew stays put without a house move. Give us as much notice as you can and we'll hold the property or arrange a like-for-like swap.
Always. The contract sits with your company: one monthly invoice covering rent, bills and cleaning, paid by card, referencing your PO or job number if you need it. Individual crew members never pay anything or sign anything. It is the arrangement most of our crews ask for.
Cost is the obvious one — whole-house weekly rates beat per-room hotel pricing for anything beyond a few nights. But crews also get a kitchen, a washing machine, parking for vans and space to actually live between shifts. Add one monthly invoice and it beats a hotel on paperwork as well.

If Berkeley is short on the right house for your crew, Bristol is the obvious back-up, roughly 18 miles away. See our contractor accommodation Bristol page for what we hold there. Small crews are as welcome as big ones.
