Blyth, North East • England
Blyth is a working port town on the Northumberland coast, in England's North East, in the NE postcode area, about thirteen miles north of Newcastle upon Tyne and a short hop from the A189. For crews on jobs along this coast, KrewBase provides whole serviced houses with bills, Wi-Fi and parking in our name — and your company settles it all on one monthly invoice.
Blyth's housing is honest and practical — long terraces from the old shipbuilding streets, semis on the post-war estates between the town and the coast, and newer builds towards the south of town. Parking is rarely an issue compared with Newcastle: most properties here have a drive, a garage or easy on-street space, and the estates are laid out with room for vans.
What we look for is a house that works as a crew base rather than a show home: enough bedrooms without hot-bunking, a kitchen and living space that fits everyone after a shift, heating that handles a sea wind off the North Sea, and parking measured against your actual vehicles. The best streets are usually the quieter estates away from the main drag through town.
The port sets the tone — harbour maintenance, offshore and energy-related work passing through, and the manufacturing and logistics that cluster around a working waterfront. Add the steady round of housing development, construction and infrastructure jobs across south-east Northumberland, and NHS and facilities work across the area, and there's rarely a quiet season. Blyth also works as a base for crews spread between Newcastle, Morpeth and Ashington, since the A189 links all three without touching a city centre.
The A189 spine road runs south into Newcastle in about half an hour and north towards Bedlington and Morpeth, meeting the A1 near Stannington. The A193 and coastal routes serve the port, Cambois and the shore-side sites, while Cramlington — ten minutes away — adds retail and services. Newcastle's East Coast Main Line connections are within easy reach for crews arriving by rail. For everything else we shortlist by measured drive time from your site's gate, including the school-run and shift-change pinch points.
The let is the whole property — every bedroom, kitchen and living room — with gas, electricity, council tax and Wi-Fi in our name. We test the Wi-Fi before check-in, check parking against your actual vehicles, and push for two bathrooms once the crew passes five. Rent, bills, the weekly clean and fresh linen roll into one monthly invoice, paid by card. There are no booking fees and no minimums — a small crew on a short job gets the same service as a big crew on a long one — and all maintenance is ours to fix.
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.
Send the site address, headcount and dates, and we'll return a shortlist within two hours. Blyth has good stock of practical terraces and semis, and we confirm availability, parking and Wi-Fi on the day so you're not choosing from last week's leftovers.
Mostly, yes. Parking in Blyth is far kinder than in Newcastle — drives, garages and on-street space are common. We still measure the space against your actual vehicles and confirm it before check-in, because a 'parking space' that fits a hatchback doesn't help a crew with two Transits.
Yes — one monthly invoice covers rent, all bills, Wi-Fi, the weekly clean and linen, paid by card with no booking fees. Your accounts team processes one document a month, however many crew changes or site moves happen in between.
Blyth itself plus Bebside, Cambois, Newsham, Bedlington and down towards Cramlington. For jobs closer to Newcastle or up towards Morpeth, we widen the shortlist along the A189 so the commute stays sensible whichever site your crew happens to be on that week.
No minimum at all. Small crews are priced exactly the same way as large ones — you pay for the property, not per head. A two-person maintenance gang for a fortnight is as welcome as a twenty-strong crew on a six-month contract.
KrewBase does, end to end. If the heating, Wi-Fi or anything else fails, your crew calls us and we arrange the fix with local trades. Nothing gets passed to your site manager, and no repair ever appears as an extra on your invoice.

If Blyth is short on the right house for your crew, Newcastle is the obvious back-up, roughly 11 miles away. See our contractor accommodation Newcastle page for what we hold there. Small crews are as welcome as big ones.
