Camborne, South West • England
In the middle of Cornwall's old mining heartland, the town of Camborne in the South West of England sits in the TR postcode area, joined at the hip with Redruth and Pool along the A30 corridor. Truro is nine miles east and Falmouth eleven, with the A30 skirting the town to the south. KrewBase arranges whole serviced houses and flats for crews working mid-Cornwall, bills, Wi-Fi and parking in, one monthly invoice.
Camborne's housing tells the story of the mines: long granite terraces built for the workforce, interwar semis, and newer estates filling the gaps toward Pool and Redruth. The old terraces are solid and well-placed but often short on parking and bathrooms, so for crews we favour the three and four-bedroom semis and estate houses where a van parks on a drive, five people are not sharing one bath, and there is room to park without blocking anyone in.
We filter out tired rental stock before it reaches you, checking heating, hot water capacity, parking against your listed vehicles, and the plain things that make a twelve-week job liveable: a full-size kitchen, washing machine and drying space. The corridor has plenty of good housing; our job is to send you the right slice of it. We also rule out anything with a history of damp or heating complaints.
Mid-Cornwall still works for its living. The demand around Camborne comes from the engineering and manufacturing workshops dotted along the Camborne-Redruth-Pool corridor, building and housing development spreading out from the towns, healthcare cover for the local population, and energy and infrastructure jobs across the county. Crews travel in for all of it, from Penzance to St Austell. Healthcare and logistics add their own steady demand through the year.
The town's position on the A30 also makes it a natural base for crews whose jobs range between Truro, Falmouth, Hayle and further west, without anyone changing accommodation when the work moves, which is how most contracts actually run. A fixed base also keeps the admin simple for whoever is booking it. One base also means one relationship to manage, which is how we prefer it.
The A30 passes just south of the town, the main artery across Cornwall, reaching Truro in about twenty minutes and connecting west toward Penzance and east toward Bodmin and the links to Plymouth. The old A3047 threads through the Camborne-Redruth-Pool conurbation for local site hops, and the local roads out to the coast are quick outside the holiday pinch. The A30 is dualled through here, so the driving is easy.
Camborne station sits on the Cornish main line with trains toward Truro, St Austell and Plymouth, useful for crew changes without a car. For site starts we still shortlist by measured drive time, because the corridor's rush hours have a rhythm of their own. We time the shortlist to the crew's actual start, not the timetable's. The station also handles crew swaps without a car journey.
The crew takes the whole property, and council tax, gas, electric, water, broadband and TV licence go in our name. Broadband is speed-tested before check-in, and parking is confirmed against the vans and cars on your list, so the house works from the first morning rather than the second week. If something is not right, it is our problem to fix, not theirs to live with.
For five or more we look for two bathrooms as standard, with weekly cleans and fresh linen included. Maintenance is ours to handle, and your office gets one monthly invoice, paid by card. No booking fees, no minimum crew size, no minimum stay. The only variable is the size of the house the crew needs. Extensions and extra weeks continue on the same terms.
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 about two hours of getting the site address, headcount and dates, we will send a shortlist of vetted houses across Camborne, Redruth and Pool. Each entry shows drive time to site, parking for your listed vehicles, and the bedroom and bathroom setup, so you can book the same day the job is confirmed.
Yes. We shortlist across the whole Camborne-Redruth-Pool urban area and out to Illogan, Hayle, Portreath and toward Truro where the commute works. Because the towns run into each other along the corridor, we shortlist by real drive time from the site rather than by town boundary.
Parking is confirmed before check-in against the vehicles you list. The granite terraces can be tight, so we favour semis and estate houses with driveways, and we say plainly on the shortlist if a property only fits one van. Nobody should find that out after a three-hundred-mile drive.
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 a weekly clean with fresh linen is part of the same figure rather than a list of extras on the invoice.
No. A small team on a short job gets the same whole-house setup and service as a large crew on a long one, and booking fees do not exist here either way. Rates are per property, so you take the size of house that fits the crew and pay for nothing more.
Yes. Tell us the shift pattern up front and we will shortlist with daytime sleeping in mind: quieter streets, sensible neighbours and self check-in so early returns do not wake the house. Cleans can be scheduled around rest days, and keysafes mean arrivals at any hour are straightforward.

Camborne sits about 52 miles from Plymouth. 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 Plymouth page covers houses across the wider area — two people or twenty, same service.
