Broadstairs, South East • England
Broadstairs is the genteel one of the Thanet towns - a Kent seaside resort of bays, Dickens history and tidy Victorian streets, in the CT postcode area with the A299 and the rail line to London close by. KrewBase houses contractor crews in whole serviced properties here: bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested, parking checked, one monthly invoice. It's a comfortable base for work across Thanet, Ramsgate, Margate and down towards Dover.
Broadstairs wears its Victorian seaside bones proudly - bay-fronted terraces and period cottages in the old town, larger semis and detached houses up the hill towards St Peter's, and some newer estates on the outskirts. Terraces look the part but parking can be one-car deep, so for crews we favour the hill properties and the outskirts with drives and garages. We check parking, bathroom count and laundry space on every shortlist.
Crews working across the Isle of Thanet - Ramsgate, Margate, Birchington - often base in Broadstairs. The work is the coastal mix: housing development and refurbishment, hospitality fit-outs for the summer trade, logistics around the A299 and the ports, energy and utility contracts, and healthcare placements at the local hospitals. Dover and Sandwich sit within commuting reach when the contract stretches that way.
The A299 Thanet Way links Broadstairs to the M2 near Faversham, and the A256 runs south towards Dover. Broadstairs station shares the line through Ramsgate with direct high-speed services to London St Pancras. Most Thanet sites are fifteen minutes away and Canterbury about twenty. Tell us the postcode and we measure the drive before we send a shortlist - coastal roads can be slower than they look in summer.
Whole-property lets with every bill in our name - council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband, tested before check-in. Five or more people means two bathrooms, parking is checked against your vehicles, and a weekly clean with fresh linen keeps the house straight between shifts. Maintenance comes to us. The office gets one monthly invoice, paid by card, no booking fees, and 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.
Normally within two working hours of getting the site postcode and crew details. The Broadstairs and St Peter's area has a good stock of larger houses that suit crews, so we can usually offer real choice, and every option is pre-checked for parking, bathrooms and a landlord happy with company lets before it reaches your shortlist.
The whole Isle of Thanet - Ramsgate, Margate, Birchington, Westgate - plus Canterbury, Herne Bay and down towards Dover and Sandwich for wider contracts. Each shortlist is built around measured drive time from the site, so a crew working in Margate won't be handed a house that looks close on the map but crawls through summer traffic every morning.
Yes - it's one of the first things we check. The hill properties and outskirt estates here generally have drives or garages that take vans, and we confirm every space against your vehicle list in writing before booking. The pretty old-town terraces can be tighter, so if your crew brings vans we'll steer the shortlist to where the parking genuinely works.
All of them - council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband go in KrewBase's name and sit inside the one monthly rate. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in and supplier problems are ours to fix, not the crew's. Nobody on site should be setting up utility accounts or holding on a call queue for a coastal town's worth of providers.
That's the standard arrangement. One monthly invoice covers rent, all bills, cleaning and linen, issued to your company paid by card with no booking fees. Nothing is paid by the crew and nothing needs reclaiming, which keeps both the individuals and your accounts team clear of paperwork - one line on the job budget and it's done.
KrewBase does. Faults come to our maintenance line, we book the tradesperson and arrange access around the shift pattern, and we chase it until it's fixed. The site manager stays out of tenancy issues and the crew stays out of DIY - in a serviced crew house, that's the deal, and we hold up our end of it.

Broadstairs sits about 68 miles from London. 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 London page covers houses across the wider area — two people or twenty, same service.
