Chatteris, East of England • England
Out in the Fens, Chatteris is a small Cambridgeshire town on the A142 between Ely and Huntingdon, in the PE postcode area at the heart of the East of England. It is fenland through and through — flat, practical and surrounded by work. KrewBase keeps crews here in whole serviced houses and flats: bills, Wi-Fi and parking all included, and one monthly invoice to your company.
Chatteris is mostly post-war semis and terraces, with newer estates growing on the town's edges as the surrounding villages expand. The semis are the crew favourite: driveways, good-sized gardens and straightforward layouts. We avoid the tighter older terraces where parking is a fight. Every house we offer in the Chatteris area is walked and checked — heating that copes with fen winters, broadband speed tested, and parking matched to your actual vehicles.
Fenland work is varied and constant: crews book in Chatteris for agricultural and food-sector sites across the surrounding farms and factories, housing development in the town and at nearby March and Ely, plus the utilities, drainage and infrastructure maintenance this low-lying landscape demands. Its mid-fen position puts crews within easy reach of Ely, March, Huntingdon and Wisbech without anyone swapping digs.
The A142 runs east to Ely in about twenty minutes and west towards Huntingdon, with the A141 at March linking north to Wisbech and south towards St Ives and the A1. The A14 at Huntingdon opens up Cambridge, Kettering and the M1 beyond. There is no station in town — March is the nearest railhead — so crews here drive, and our shortlists are built on real drive times from your site postcode, not straight-line guesses.
You rent the whole property for the job, with all bills — council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband — in our name. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, parking is confirmed against your vehicles, and five or more crew means two bathrooms. A weekly clean and fresh linen are included, and any maintenance problem lands with KrewBase rather than with whoever is on shift. Billing is 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. Fenland towns like Chatteris have a modest pool of suitable houses, so early notice helps — but we will always tell you plainly what is available and when.
Alongside Chatteris we cover March, Ely on the eastern side, Manea, Doddington, Wimblington and the villages towards Huntingdon. If your site sits anywhere in the PE postcode area, send the postcode and we shortlist by real drive time from it.
Council tax, gas or electric, water and broadband are all in our name and covered by your single monthly invoice. The broadband is speed-tested before check-in, and we check the heating carefully — fen winters are cold and damp, and kit needs to dry out properly overnight.
Yes. You tell us what the crew drives and we only offer properties whose driveways genuinely fit — confirmed before booking. We avoid the older terraces where parking is first-come, because a van parked three streets away helps nobody on a 5am start.
No minimum crew size and no minimum stay. A two-person team for a short job is as welcome as a large crew on a long contract — pricing reflects the house size and the booking length, so you never pay for rooms you are not using.
KrewBase does. The crew reports any problem to us and we arrange the tradesperson — no landlord phone calls, no cost falling on your team. The weekly clean also means small issues get spotted before they cost you downtime on the job.

Chatteris sits about 18 miles from Cambridge. 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 Cambridge page covers houses across the wider area — two people or twenty, same service.
