Burnley, North West • England
Burnley sits in the heart of East Lancashire, in the BB postcode area, roughly halfway between Manchester and the Yorkshire Dales. KrewBase provides whole serviced houses and flats for working crews here — bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, parking checked against your actual vehicles, and one monthly invoice to your company. Whether the job is in the town itself or you're commuting out along the M65 corridor, we shortlist properties by real drive time from site, not just a pin on a map.
Burnley's housing is honest East Lancashire stock. Long runs of stone and brick terraces from the mill years fill the valleys around the town centre and run out through the older wards, while the 1930s semis spread across estates like Rosehill and the southern side of town. On the fringes toward Worsthorne and the Padiham side you'll find newer family houses and the odd larger detached property, handy when a crew needs more than four beds.
For a crew, the terraces work well when they come with a rear yard or nearby parking for vans, and the semis are often the sweet spot — a driveway, a spare room, space to dry work gear. Every property we shortlist is checked for parking against your actual vehicles, for a second bathroom where five or more are staying, and for a straightforward, settled residential street rather than a student or house-share street.
Crews come to Burnley for construction and housing development work across the borough and the wider Pennine Lancashire area — there's been a steady run of regeneration and new housing here for years. Rail and infrastructure jobs keep gangs moving along the East Lancashire line and the M65 corridor, and healthcare and facilities crews support the local hospital estate and its surrounding services, from maintenance teams to specialist contractors on longer programmes.
There's also steady logistics and manufacturing work in and around the town, and crews travelling between sites in Blackburn, Accrington and the Rossendale Valley often base themselves here because the rents are sensible and the roads are quick. Whatever the trade, we match the house to the site first — the town you sleep in matters less than the time you spend driving to the job.
The M65 runs straight through Burnley, west toward Blackburn and the M6 at Preston, east toward Colne and the Yorkshire boundary towns. Manchester is around 40 minutes to an hour south by car depending on traffic, Blackburn roughly 15 to 20 minutes away, and Padiham is practically a suburb. Trains from Burnley Manchester Road run through to Manchester Victoria, while the Colne line serves the eastern end of town, if anyone on the crew prefers rail.
If your site sits outside the town — and with crews covering Accrington, Rawtenstall and the Rossendale side, many do — tell us where it is and we shortlist houses by actual drive time from the site gate, tested at the hours your crew will really travel. A house that looks close on a map can be a different story at half seven on a wet Tuesday morning, and we plan for the Tuesday, not the map.
You get the whole property, not rooms in someone else's house. Bills — gas, electric, water, council tax, broadband — go in our name, so there's nothing for your crew to set up, chase or argue about. Wi-Fi is tested before check-in, the parking is checked against the real vehicles turning up, and houses sleeping five or more have two bathrooms as standard, which keeps the morning queue civilised.
A weekly clean and fresh linen keep the place straight, and any maintenance issue lands with us, not with your lads on site — they report it, we fix it, it never reaches your desk. Your company gets one monthly invoice and standard payment by card. There are no booking fees and no minimum crew or stay, so if the job's in Burnley for a fortnight or the best part of a year, we'll find you a house that fits it.
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.
Send us the site address, headcount and start date and we'll come back with a shortlist of suitable Burnley houses within two working hours. Once you've picked one, paperwork is same-day and check-in can usually happen within 48 hours of the booking being confirmed.
All of it and the surrounding towns — the town centre terraces, the semis around Rosehill and the southern estates, plus Padiham, Accrington, Blackburn and the M65 corridor if the drive time works better. We shortlist by drive time from your site, so the map is drawn around the job, not around an arbitrary boundary.
Yes — every Burnley property is checked against the actual vehicles your crew brings, not just 'parking available' on a listing. Terraces with a rear yard or street permits work for smaller vehicles; crews with vans or pickups are usually better in the semis on the estates, where driveways take two or three vehicles without argument.
That's how we work as standard. Your company receives one monthly invoice covering rent, bills, Wi-Fi, the weekly clean and maintenance — no separate utility accounts, no petty-cash claims from the crew. Standard terms are card payment, and we can set up invoicing for multiple properties under one account.
We do. There's no minimum crew size or minimum stay — a two-person team in for a fortnight's refit gets the same service as a twenty-strong gang on a six-month job. The houses available will vary with dates, but the terms and the standard of the property don't.
We do. Your crew reports it, our maintenance team fixes it — boiler, plumbing, appliances, locks, the lot. Nobody on site needs to spend their evening phoning a landlord or standing around waiting for a callback. It's all covered in the one monthly invoice, with no call-out charges passed back to you.
