Bungay, East of England • England
Out on the Norfolk–Suffolk border, Bungay is a small market town in the Waveney Valley, a few miles from Beccles and handy for the A143 and A146. Crews working across Suffolk and south Norfolk are better off in a proper house here than in a hotel miles from site. KrewBase rents whole serviced houses and flats in the Bungay area — bills, Wi-Fi and parking all in, and one monthly invoice to your company.
Bungay is mostly period terraces, older semis and a ring of newer estates on the town's edge. The post-war and newer houses are usually the best crew fit: proper driveways, decent-sized kitchens and none of the quirks that come with the older Georgian stock. We walk every property before offering it, checking parking, broadband speed and whether the heating will keep a winter crew warm — small-town houses vary far more than estate homes, so we filter hard.
Work across the Waveney valley and the surrounding villages brings trades into the area: housing development along the A146 corridor, farm and food-sector sites, local infrastructure and the ongoing maintenance that keeps rural roads, substations and utilities running. Bungay's position west of Beccles makes it a practical base for crews covering south Norfolk as well as north Suffolk, without tourist-town prices.
The A143 runs north from Bungay towards Diss and the A140, and the A146 at Beccles links you to Norwich in one direction and Lowestoft in the other; Ipswich is under an hour by road. There is no station in town — Beccles and Diss are the nearest — so most crews drive. Tell us the site postcode and we shortlist houses by actual drive time, not guesswork, and we check parking against your real vehicles.
The whole property is yours for the job. Bills — council tax, energy, water and broadband — go in our name, and the broadband is speed-tested before check-in. A house sleeping five or more gets two bathrooms, and a weekly clean with fresh linen keeps things civilised. Parking is matched to the vehicles on your booking form, not a vague 'parking available' line in an advert. Your company receives one monthly invoice, paid by card, with no booking fees and no minimum crew size or stay. Send the site postcode, headcount and dates, and you will have a shortlist within two hours.
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.
In most cases we return a shortlist within two hours of receiving the site postcode, crew size and dates. Bungay and the surrounding Waveney villages have a smaller pool of suitable houses than the cities, so it pays to book early — but we move fast once we know the job details.
Yes. Alongside Bungay we cover Beccles, Halesworth, Ditchingham, Earsham, Mettingham and the villages towards Diss and Harleston. If your site is anywhere in the NR postcode area, give us the postcode and we will shortlist on real drive time from it.
Council tax, gas or electric, water and broadband are all in our name and all covered by your single monthly invoice. The Wi-Fi is speed-tested before your crew checks in, and there is nothing extra to set up or chase on site.
No. Two people for a fortnight is as welcome as twenty for six months — we have no minimum crew size and no minimum stay. Pricing simply reflects the size of the house and the length of the booking, so small teams are not forced to pay for rooms they do not need.
We do. If the boiler, heating or anything else fails, your crew contacts KrewBase and we sort the tradesperson — they never have to deal with a landlord or letting agent. The weekly clean and linen service also keeps small problems from becoming big ones.
Usually, yes. Rural bookings can be easier to extend than city ones because availability is steadier, but tell us as early as you can. We confirm every extension in writing against the same monthly invoicing, so your costs stay predictable for the accounts team.

Bungay sits about 13 miles from Norwich. 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 Norwich page covers houses across the wider area — two people or twenty, same service.
