Bodmin, South West • England
Midway across Cornwall, Bodmin is the county's crossroads town, in the PL postcode area, where the A30 and A38 meet. It sits roughly twenty-five miles west of Plymouth and around twenty miles from both Truro and Newquay, with Bodmin Parkway station a few miles south on the main line to London. 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.
Bodmin's stock is built from sturdy local granite: Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the centre, solid post-war council semis in the older estates, and newer detached and semi-detached estates on the town's edges. For crews, the edge-of-town houses win — driveways for vans, modern boilers, and a quick run to the A30 or A38 whatever direction the job takes you. The town-centre terraces can be tight for parking, so we filter carefully and only shortlist houses we've actually vetted for access, parking and sensible room counts.
Mid-Cornwall keeps crews busy across construction and housing development, road and local infrastructure work, and grid and utility jobs spanning the peninsula. There's healthcare work at the local hospital and surrounding surgeries, logistics moving along the A30, and manufacturing tucked into the town's industrial estates. Because Bodmin sits where Cornwall's two trunk roads meet, crews working anywhere from the Tamar to the far west often base here and fan out — which makes a well-placed house with parking worth its weight.
The A30 runs east to Launceston and the Tamar bridges towards Plymouth, about thirty minutes away, and west across the county; the A38 heads south-east through Liskeard towards Saltash. Truro is around twenty-five minutes west and Newquay a similar run north. Bodmin Parkway, three miles south, has mainline trains towards Plymouth, Exeter and London for crew arriving by rail. For scattered sites we shortlist by measured drive time — in a county this long and rural, that discipline saves your crew an hour a day.
Your company takes the whole house — kitchen, lounge, washer, the works — and we hold every bill in our name: gas, electric, water, council tax, broadband. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, parking is verified against your vehicle list, and we aim for two bathrooms on crews of five or more. Weekly cleaning and fresh linen come as standard, maintenance is our job, and everything arrives on one monthly invoice, paid by card. No booking fees, no minimum crew size, no minimum 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.
Send the site postcode, crew size, vehicle list, start date and rough duration, and we'll normally come back within two working hours with a shortlist of whole houses — photos, parking details and a fixed weekly rate included for a fast sign-off.
We cover Bodmin plus the surrounding mid-Cornwall towns and villages — Wadebridge, Lostwithiel, Liskeard, St Austell and out towards the moors. If your site moves along the A30 or A38, we'll re-shortlist around the new location. Most sit within a twenty-minute drive of town.
We confirm parking against your actual vehicle list before offering any property — driveways, garages or off-street standing. The edge-of-town estates we favour usually make this easy, but we check rather than assume. If you are bringing a trailer, mention it and we will check the extra space.
Yes — gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband all stay in our name, so your crew never sees a utility bill or tops up a meter. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before arrival, and everything bundles into one monthly invoice, paid by card.
That's how it normally works. One monthly invoice covering rent, bills and cleaning, paid by card, with your PO or job number referenced. No card payments, no expenses for crew members to claim back. It is the arrangement most of our crews use.
Five things: the site postcode, how many people, what vehicles you're bringing, the start date and the expected length of stay. With those we shortlist, confirm parking and bills, and give your office a fixed weekly rate to approve. From there, approval to move-in can happen within days.

If Bodmin is short on the right house for your crew, Plymouth is the obvious back-up, roughly 26 miles away. See our contractor accommodation Plymouth page for what we hold there. Small crews are as welcome as big ones.
