Carlton, East Midlands • England
Practically part of Nottingham, Carlton is a big, busy suburb about four miles north-east of the city centre, in the Gedling borough of Nottinghamshire, East Midlands — NG postcode territory. For crews working in or around Nottingham, KrewBase takes whole houses and flats here with Wi-Fi, council tax, utilities and parking all in one monthly invoice. You get city-side convenience — shops, buses, the train into Nottingham — without city-centre prices or the nightmare of hotel parking for a full crew's vans.
Carlton is solid suburbia: rows of brick terraces near the old centre, endless 1930s semis down the Mansfield Road side, and post-war estates with drives and bigger gardens. Crews usually take the semis and estate houses — parking on the drive, a living room that fits the whole gang, and the A60 or A611 out to whichever site they're on. We filter hard: whole property, verified parking for your actual vehicles, two bathrooms when the headcount hits five, and landlords who know the difference between a crew and a party.
Being this close to Nottingham means crews based in Carlton pick up the lot: city-centre construction and refurbishment, hospital and university maintenance, housing development across Gedling and the surrounding boroughs, plus logistics and manufacturing work around the city's arteries. Rail crews and infrastructure gangs pass through too. Carlton's real advantage is flexibility — if your site moves from one side of Nottingham to the other, the commute barely changes, and neither does the house.
The A60 heads south-west into Nottingham in about fifteen minutes and north towards Mansfield; the A611 cuts across towards Hucknall and the M1 junctions. Carlton's own station and the buses cover anyone without a van, and the city's tram and train network is a short ride away. Most sites in the urban area are fifteen to twenty-five minutes depending on the time of day — and we rank our shortlists by measured drive time at your start hour, because rush hour changes everything.
Your crew gets the whole house — kitchen, living room, no strangers. We hold the council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband in our name, test the Wi-Fi before check-in, and confirm parking for your real vehicle list. Five or more means two bathrooms as standard, a weekly clean with fresh linen keeps the place respectable, and anything that breaks is our problem to fix. Your accounts team gets one monthly invoice, paid by card — and nobody pays a booking fee.
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 about two working hours. Send the site postcode, headcount and dates, and we'll check live whole-house options across Carlton and neighbouring Gedling areas, ranked by drive time to your gate. Because it's a big suburb, stock turns over — but that also means something's nearly always available.
Carlton itself — the terraces, the semis towards the A60, the estate streets — plus Gedling, Netherfield and Mapperley where the commute makes sense. If your site's closer to another pocket of Nottingham, we'll say so honestly and shortlist there instead.
Yes — it's one of our hard checks. Suburban Carlton is good for it: drives and wide kerbsides are common. We still confirm space for every vehicle on your list before you commit, so nobody's moving a transit at six in the morning to let a colleague out.
Really. Council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband are in our name, speed-tested before check-in, and wrapped into one monthly invoice to your company paid by card. Your crew walks into a working house; your accounts team reads one document. That's the deal.
Cost, space and sanity. A house sleeps the whole crew together with a kitchen and living room, costs less per person than hotel rooms past a couple of weeks, and includes parking and Wi-Fi that hotels charge extra for. For anything longer than a short visit, the house wins comfortably.
Yes — tell us and it extends. Overruns are a fact of site work, so we don't treat the end date as sacred. The monthly invoice simply carries on for the extra weeks, and if the site moves right across the city, we can re-house the crew closer to the new gate.

If Carlton is short on the right house for your crew, Nottingham is the obvious back-up, right next door. See our contractor accommodation Nottingham page for what we hold there. Small crews are as welcome as big ones.
