Burton upon Trent, West Midlands • England
Burton upon Trent is best known as a brewing town on the River Trent in Staffordshire, England, in the DE postcode area, sitting between the A38 and the A50. KrewBase supplies whole serviced houses and flats here for working crews: bills, Wi-Fi and parking in, and one monthly invoice to your company. From a two-person job to a full crew on a long programme, your people get a proper house near site instead of a run of hotel rooms on the edge of town.
Burton's housing tells its brewing history: rows of Victorian terraces built for brewery workers within walking distance of the town centre, interwar semis in areas like Stapenhill and Winshill, and newer estates towards Stretton and the town's edges. The terraces are characterful and practical for small crews; the semis and estates bring drives, garages and gardens that suit bigger crews and their vehicles. We filter every option for parking, heating and honest condition before it reaches a shortlist.
Each house is walked through before your shortlist goes out, so what the crew finds on day one matches what they were sent. We also check the practical details that rarely make listing photos: how many cars fit, whether the boiler looks its age, and whether the bedrooms would take real working people rather than occasional guests. Parking is measured, not estimated - we check how many vehicles the drive genuinely takes, including turning space for a van.
Crews come to Burton for work across east Staffordshire and towards the Derbyshire border: construction and housing development, logistics and distribution along the A38 and A50 corridors, manufacturing, and the utilities and infrastructure jobs that keep the region moving. The town's position between Derby, Lichfield and Stoke makes it a sensible base when a contract covers more than one site - and a house beats a hotel on cost and practicality for anything past a fortnight.
The A38 runs past the town towards Derby, about twelve miles north, and south towards Birmingham; the A50 links west towards Stoke-on-Trent and east to the M1. Lichfield is roughly eleven miles south. Burton station sits on the Birmingham to Derby line, and the town's road position means most of the East Midlands and West Midlands are within an hour. We shortlist properties by drive time from your site postcode, whichever side of the county line it sits.
Your crew takes the whole property, with council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband in our name. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, parking is verified against the vehicles arriving, crews of five or more get two bathrooms, and a weekly clean with fresh linen keeps everything in order. Maintenance goes through us - one message, one fix, no involvement for your team.
Accounts get one monthly invoice paid by card. There are no booking fees, no deposits per head, and no minimum stay: if the job is two weeks, you book two weeks. If it runs to ten months, the terms simply carry on. Crew members never pay or claim anything; the whole arrangement sits between KrewBase and your accounts team, and it stays that way throughout.
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.
Usually within two hours. Send the site postcode, crew size, dates and vehicle count, and we come back with whole houses that fit, including drive times and parking photos. You choose, we book, and the crew checks in with bills and broadband already on.
The town centre terraces, Stapenhill, Winshill, Stretton and the outlying villages towards the A38 and A50. If your site is further afield - Derby, Lichfield, Swadlincote or towards Stoke - we shortlist there instead. The site postcode decides, not habit.
Yes. A crew house works better than a hotel for shifted teams - people come and go without disturbing anyone, and there is always hot water and a proper kitchen at odd hours. We just ask for the shift pattern when you book so we can plan cleaning visits around it.
Everything is - council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband are in our name and in the rate. We speed-test the Wi-Fi before check-in so evening admin, rotas and calls actually work from the house, and nobody on site is ever asked to pay a utility bill.
One monthly invoice, paid by card, paid by BACS. Rent and all bills sit on it, there are no booking fees, and your crew never handles money. It keeps your accounts team happy and your workers focused on the job rather than receipts.
Most stays can be extended on the same terms with some notice. Tell us as soon as the programme slips and we will confirm with the property - invoicing simply carries on month to month, and your crew stays put instead of moving mid-contract.
