Bournemouth, South West • England
Bournemouth stretches for miles along the Dorset coast in the BH postcode area, with Poole to the west, Christchurch to the east and the A338 running up to the A31 and the wider motorway network — around ninety miles from London and thirty from Southampton. England's South West doesn't get much busier than this. KrewBase houses work crews across the town in whole serviced properties: bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, parking matched to your vehicles, one monthly invoice.
Away from the seafront flats, Bournemouth is a town of terraces and semis: Victorian streets inland around Springbourne and Winton, big swathes of interwar semis through Winton, Moordown and Northbourne, and post-war estates out towards Kinson. Crews do far better in the inland semis and estates — driveways, spare rooms and none of the resident-permit headaches you get near the beach. We shortlist accordingly, filtering for parking that genuinely fits your vehicles, decent bathrooms for the headcount and quick access to the A338 or A31 rather than the promenade.
The south coast keeps a lot of teams busy: housing development and construction across the conurbation, hospital and healthcare shifts at the town's big NHS sites, logistics moving along the A31 and A338, and year-round maintenance work in a resort that never really closes. There are also infrastructure and utilities jobs across Dorset and into Hampshire, and crews working the wider south coast corridor often base here for its road links. Whatever the job, the pattern is familiar — weeks or months on site, which is exactly what crew housing is for.
The A338 heads north to the A31, which runs west towards the New Forest and east towards the M27 and Southampton, around thirty miles away; the A35 heads east through Christchurch towards the New Forest and west towards Poole and Dorchester. Bournemouth station has direct trains to London Waterloo and the Midlands. Summer traffic around the coast is real, so we shortlist by drive time at the hours your crew actually travels — a commute that looks fine at ten in the morning can be misery at five, and we plan for that.
You take the whole house — kitchen, washer, lounge, proper beds — and we hold every bill in our name: gas, electric, water, council tax, broadband. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before your crew checks in, parking is confirmed against the vehicle list, and we look for two bathrooms on crews of five or more. A weekly clean with fresh linen is included, maintenance is our problem, and your office gets one monthly invoice, paid by card. No booking fees, no minimum crew size or stay length.
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 within two working hours. Bournemouth's stock is deep, so we can be picky — you'll see houses that actually fit, not whatever was left over.
The whole town plus Poole, Christchurch, Boscombe and the inland suburbs towards Winton, Kinson and Wallisdown. If your site moves around the conurbation, we re-shortlist to keep commutes short at the times your crew travels. Most options sit within twenty minutes of site at working hours.
It depends where you stay, which is why we filter for it. The inland semis and estates usually have driveways or garages that we verify against your vehicle list; the seafront and older terraces often don't, so we simply don't offer them for crews.
Yes, that's standard. One monthly invoice covering rent, bills and cleaning, paid by card, referencing your PO or job number. Your crew members pay nothing personally and no card is taken at booking. It is the arrangement most of our crews use.
No. Whether it's two people for a couple of weeks or a larger team for months, we shortlist the right size of house and price it weekly accordingly. Extensions are straightforward if the job runs long. The house size follows the crew, not the other way round.
We do. Your crew reports any issue to us, we send the trader and pay the bill — your supervisor and office stay out of it. Direct management means faults get fixed fast rather than bouncing through an agency chain.
