Charlton, South East • England
Charlton sits just south of Andover in the Test Valley, in Hampshire, England — SP postcode territory where the A343 runs down toward Salisbury. KrewBase puts contractor crews up in whole serviced houses and flats around here, with bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in and parking checked against the actual vehicles. One monthly invoice goes to your office, so there's nothing for the lads to sort when they finish a shift.
Charlton itself is a small, spread-out village, so most houses for crews working this way sit in the larger villages and estates between Andover and the Hampshire Downs. Expect solid post-war semis and 1970s–90s estates with drives and garages — the sort of stock that takes a van or two without any fuss, plus gardens where kit can dry overnight. Terraced streets closer into Andover suit smaller two and three-person crews who want the shops within walking distance.
Every property is filtered before it reaches you: off-road parking for the actual vehicles arriving, a kitchen-diner the crew can eat in together rather than perch in, and a second bathroom wherever the headcount needs one. We also look at the practical stuff photos don't show — water pressure, heating that warms the whole house, and space near the back door for wet gear.
Crews based around Charlton are usually working across north-west Hampshire: construction and housing development around Andover, rail and utility jobs along the corridor toward Salisbury, and depot, farming and logistics work out on the plain. There are also longer-running infrastructure and energy contracts across the wider region that keep teams here for months rather than weeks, and healthcare placements drawn in from across Hampshire.
Because the work is scattered across sites rather than centred on one compound, a fixed crew house beats a hotel every time — one base for the whole team, one invoice for the office, and nobody clock-watching breakfast hours before a 6am start. It also gives the lads a proper kitchen and living room, which matters a lot more after a twelve-hour shift than a hotel bar ever does.
The A343 links Charlton straight into Andover and south toward Salisbury, while the A303 and A34 are both reached in minutes from the town — that's the route north to Newbury and south to Winchester. For crews working further afield, the M3 corridor is an easy run east, and Andover station offers rail links toward London and the south coast if anyone is splitting the week.
When you send us the site postcode we shortlist by real drive time, checked against shift start times rather than raw map distance. If two properties look equal on paper, we send the one that wins at 6am on a Monday. Parking is confirmed against your vehicle list before anything is booked, and we make sure the crew knows where they're going before the first van sets off.
You get the whole house or flat — no shared corridors with strangers. Bills go in our name: council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband, so the crew never opens a utility account or splits a bill. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, parking is matched to the vans and pickups actually turning up, and the property is checked for the basics crews rely on — decent showers, a full-size kitchen, room to dry boots.
A weekly clean and fresh linen are included as standard, and every maintenance call — boiler, tap, lock, appliance — comes to us rather than to your lads or your site manager. Your company gets one monthly invoice, paid by card, with no booking fees and no minimum crew or stay length to worry about, which keeps the paperwork as simple as the accommodation.
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.
Two hours is our standard once we have the site postcode, crew size and start date. We check real drive time from the Charlton and Andover area to site at shift-start hours, then send a shortlist of vetted houses or flats with photos, parking detail and a single monthly rate for each.
Yes — parking is one of our filters, not an afterthought. We ask what vehicles the crew brings and only shortlist properties where everything genuinely fits off-road. Most stock around Andover and the Test Valley villages has a drive, garage or off-road space for at least two vehicles.
We cover Charlton itself plus Andover and the surrounding villages and estates across the SP postcode area — north toward the A303, east toward Whitchurch and west toward the Salisbury plain. If the drive to site works, we'll find a crew house that works too, wherever it sits.
Yes. Council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband all sit in our name, and Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in. Your company gets one monthly invoice, paid by card — no chasing receipts from the lads and no separate utility accounts to reconcile at month end.
Absolutely. There's no minimum crew size or stay length — two people for a fortnight is as welcome as twenty for six months. Smaller crews usually go into a tidy terrace or a two-bed flat closer to Andover's shops, with exactly the same bills-in, one-invoice setup.
We do, end to end. The crew reports the problem to us, our contractor fixes it, and it never lands on your site manager's desk. A weekly clean and fresh linen are part of the deal as well, so the house stays decent however long the job ends up running.
