Cambridge, East of England • England
Cambridge, the university city at the heart of Cambridgeshire and the East of England, spreads along the A14, M11 and A10 with the CB postcode covering a huge working patch. Crews on jobs in and around Cambridge are far better off in a whole serviced house than in overpriced hotel rooms. KrewBase provides houses and flats with bills, Wi-Fi and parking included, and one monthly invoice to your company.
Cambridge is not one market. The Victorian terraces near the centre suit small crews who want to walk to site, but parking is the killer there, so we mostly shortlist the post-war semis of Cherry Hinton, Arbury and King's Hedges and the newer estates towards Trumpington, Histon and the A14. North of the river, villages like Cottenham and Waterbeach give van crews driveways and fast A10 access. Every property is checked for real parking, broadband speed and a second bathroom for crews of five or more.
The Cambridge economy keeps crews constantly rotating through: housing development on the city's edge sites, endless fit-outs around the science and university campuses, healthcare and NHS contracts at the city's hospitals, logistics along the A14, and the utilities and grid work that follows growth. Crews also base here for jobs across Cambridgeshire — out to Ely, Newmarket and Royston, and down the M11 corridor.
The M11 runs south to the M25 and London, the A14 heads east towards Newmarket, Bury St Edmunds and Ipswich and west towards Huntingdon and the A1, and the A10 links north to Ely and south to Royston. Cambridge station is one of the busiest in the East of England for crews travelling by rail. Tell us the site postcode — a house in Histon suits an A14 job, while Cherry Hinton suits the southern side of the city — and we shortlist by real drive time.
Every let is the whole property, with all bills — council tax, gas, electric, water, broadband — in our name. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, parking is matched to your actual vehicles, and five or more crew means two bathrooms. A weekly clean and fresh linen keep the place straight, and maintenance calls come to us rather than to whoever is on the rota. Your company receives one monthly invoice, paid by card, with no booking fees and no minimum crew or stay. Send the site postcode, headcount and dates and we will return 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.
We normally return a shortlist within two hours of receiving the site postcode, crew size and dates. Cambridge's market moves quickly, so it helps to decide fast — but because we shortlist by drive time from the actual site, the options you see are ones that genuinely work for the job.
Across the city — Cherry Hinton, Arbury, King's Hedges, Trumpington, Fulbourn — and the surrounding villages such as Histon, Cottenham, Waterbeach and Sawston. If the site sits anywhere in the CB postcode area, give us the postcode and we shortlist on real drive time from it.
It is the first thing we check. You tell us your vehicles and we only offer properties with parking that genuinely fits — driveways, garages or allocated spaces, confirmed before booking. We deliberately avoid the tight terraced streets where the crew would spend the job fighting for a space.
Yes, that is the standard arrangement. One monthly invoice covers rent, council tax, energy, water, broadband, cleaning and linen, paid by card, itemised for your cost code. There are no booking fees, and your accounts team never has to touch a utility supplier.
A whole house means no reception desk, no curfew and no awkward explanations at 4am. We arrange keys and access for split shifts, and the weekly clean and linen are scheduled around the crew's quietest window rather than a fixed hotel-style time slot.
Three things: the site postcode, the number of crew, and the start and likely end dates. From that we shortlist by drive time, match parking and bedrooms, and come back with options and a single monthly price — usually within two hours.
