Broomhaugh and Riding, North East • England
Broomhaugh and Riding is a quiet parish on the south bank of the Tyne in Northumberland, England's North East, in the NE postcode area, taking in Riding Mill and stretching towards Corbridge, a few miles east of Hexham. When crews work along the Tyne Valley, KrewBase houses them in whole serviced properties here — bills, Wi-Fi and heating in our name, and one monthly invoice to your company.
This is handsome, well-kept countryside — stone-built houses and cottages around Riding Mill and Broomhaugh, larger period properties up the lanes towards Healey and Slaley, and a handful of newer houses dotted along the A695. Most come with gardens, drives or yard space, so vans and pickups park without drama. Because it's a desirable rural parish, we filter carefully for crew-suitability: landlords who genuinely accept working lets, heating and hot water sized for a full gang, broadband that functions, and no covenants or holiday-let plans that could cut a booking short. The right houses here are excellent; the wrong ones waste everyone's time.
Work along the Tyne corridor mixes rural and industrial — estate and farm building work in the hills, utilities and grid maintenance, housing development around Hexham and Corbridge, road and rail infrastructure along the valley, and the steady flow of jobs that comes with a well-to-do commuter belt. Crews also base here for contracts spanning Newcastle to Carlisle along the A69, since the valley's villages sit neatly between the two.
The A695 threads the parish along the Tyne — west into Hexham in about ten minutes for the A69 and its rail station, east towards Corbridge, Stocksfield and eventually the A1 near Gateshead. Riding Mill and Corbridge both have stations on the Tyne Valley line into Newcastle. For sites up in the hills or across the county, we shortlist by measured drive time, because rural Northumberland journeys rarely match what the mileage suggests. Parking at the property is confirmed against your vehicles before anything is booked.
Your crew gets the whole property — every bedroom, the kitchen, the living space — with gas or oil, electricity, council tax and Wi-Fi in our name, tested before check-in. For five or more people we look for two bathrooms, and parking is verified against your actual vehicles. One monthly invoice covers rent, bills, the weekly clean and linen, paid by card with no booking fees and no minimum crew or stay. Maintenance is ours throughout, handled with local trades so your crew's downtime stays theirs.
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.
Yes — send the site address, headcount and dates, and we'll aim to return a shortlist within two hours. Stock in this parish is limited and rural, so we confirm availability, landlord consent for a working let, heating and parking directly before sending anything.
The parish itself — Riding Mill and Broomhaugh — plus Corbridge, Stocksfield, Hexham, Bywell and the Tyne Valley villages each way. For crews whose sites range wider, we'll base the shortlist by combined drive time along the A695 and A69 rather than fixing on one village.
Usually, yes — houses here tend to have drives, gardens or yard space that takes vans comfortably. We still measure the parking against your actual vehicles and confirm it in writing before check-in, which matters in a rural parish where the nearest alternative could be miles away.
Everything rolls into one monthly invoice — rent, all bills, Wi-Fi, the weekly clean and linen — paid by card, with no booking fees. Your accounts team gets a single document each month, and we can itemise it by site or gang if your contract needs it.
We test it before check-in and tell you the result honestly. Most villages along the Tyne Valley have workable broadband, but speeds vary by property, so a house only makes the shortlist if its connection can genuinely handle your crew's uploads and calls.
KrewBase does. A weekly clean and fresh linen keep the house in order, and any maintenance — boiler, drains, appliances — is arranged by us with local trades. Your crew reports issues to us, and nothing lands on your site manager's plate.
