Burnham-on-Sea, South West • England
At the seaward end of the Somerset Levels, Burnham-on-Sea in Somerset, South West England, spreads along its beach and pier in the TA postcode area, with the M5 at junction 22 a couple of miles inland. Bridgwater is about seven miles away and Weston-super-Mare eight. KrewBase sets crews up in whole serviced houses and flats here, bills and Wi-Fi in, parking sorted before arrival, with one monthly invoice going to your office.
Burnham-on-Sea grew as a holiday town, and its stock shows it: seafront flats and chalet bungalows along the front, with solid post-war semis and tidy modern estates a few streets back. The front looks the part but parking is often by permit or luck, so for working crews we concentrate on the inland estates where driveways take a van and a car without a fight and neighbours are used to ordinary life out of season. The estates are where the town's working families live, which tells you the houses are built for real life.
We filter hard for the practical stuff: three or four real bedrooms, two bathrooms for five or more, a kitchen that seats everyone, and somewhere dry for wet gear after a day out on the Levels. Anything that only works as a summer let gets left off the list, whatever the photographs suggest. We also check the neighbours and the street, because a quiet estate beats a lively one for people on early shifts.
Crews based in Burnham-on-Sea are usually working across Somerset rather than in the town itself. The steady drivers are building and housing development around the coastal towns, warehousing and logistics along the M5, infrastructure and energy work further afield, and the endless upkeep of a seaside resort's properties through the tourist season. Winter brings its own round of repair and improvement jobs, and the town itself generates steady trade work on its housing and holiday stock year-round.
Its position between Bridgwater and Weston-super-Mare also makes it a fair base for crews commuting to jobs anywhere along this stretch of the Levels and the coast, which is why a house with parking beats a smart address every time here. Crews also keep their own hours, cook their own food and avoid the hotel premium a resort town charges all summer.
Junction 22 of the M5 sits just inland, putting Bridgwater about seven miles away and Taunton around twenty-five. The A370 follows the coast to Weston-super-Mare in about twenty minutes and carries on toward Bristol, some thirty-five miles up the road. The A38 from Bridgwater reaches south into Taunton and the trunk routes beyond, so most of the South West is within reach of one base. Crews heading east to Bristol or Bath can do it without an overnight bag.
Highbridge and Burnham station, a couple of miles from the town centre, sits on the Bristol to Taunton line, useful for crews travelling in from either city. For site starts we still shortlist by real drive time from where the job actually is, because summer traffic along this coast has its own timetable. We allow for that in the shortlist rather than pretending the map knows best.
The crew gets the whole property to itself, with council tax, gas, electric, water, broadband and TV licence in our name. Broadband is speed-tested before check-in, and parking is verified against your listed vehicles, because seafront parking in a resort town is not something to leave to chance on a Monday morning. The same checks apply whether the stay is two weeks or six months.
Weekly cleans and fresh linen come as standard, maintenance is ours to handle, and your office receives one monthly invoice, paid by card. There are no booking fees and no minimum stay or crew size, so a small team on a short job is priced the same honest way as a big one. That is the whole pricing model: per property, per month, one invoice.
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.
Within two hours of receiving the site location, headcount and dates, we will send a shortlist of checked houses or flats in and around Burnham-on-Sea. Each listing gives drive time to site, parking arrangements and the bedroom and bathroom layout, so you are not chasing details by phone.
Yes. We shortlist across the whole coastal strip, including Berrow and Brent Knoll to the south and Highbridge to the north, and out toward the Levels villages. If a job moves along the coast mid-contract, tell us and we will re-baseline the shortlist around the new site.
Parking is confirmed before check-in against the vehicles you give us, whether that is two vans or a van plus cars. We deliberately favour the estates behind the seafront over the promenade properties, where bays are restricted and visitors compete for space all summer.
Council tax, gas, electric, water, broadband and TV licence are all in our name and included in the rate. We test the broadband speed before anyone moves in, and weekly cleans with fresh linen are part of the same figure rather than extras on the invoice.
No. A two-person team for a fortnight gets the same service as a twenty-strong crew for six months, and neither pays booking fees. Rates are priced per property, so smaller crews simply take smaller houses and nothing else changes in the service or the pricing.
Usually, yes. Tell us as soon as you know the dates are moving and we will check availability on the property or offer the nearest equivalent. The same one-invoice arrangement carries on, so there is no new paperwork for your office to process.
