Chorley, North West • England
Chorley sits where the M6 crosses the Lancashire plain, in the PR postcode area, roughly halfway between Preston and Wigan. KrewBase supplies whole serviced houses and flats for crews working across Chorley, Leyland, Wigan and the M61 corridor — bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, parking for your vehicles, and one monthly invoice to the company. Junctions 27 and 28 put most of the North West within an hour, and the rail line through Chorley station and Buckshaw Parkway runs straight into Manchester and Preston.
Chorley's older heart is terraced — sturdy streets within walking distance of the town centre, some with rear yards that take a van. The bigger share of what's useful for crews sits in the post-war semis and newer estates toward Euxton, Whittle-le-Woods and the Buckshaw Village side, where driveways, garages and four-to-six-bed layouts are common. Many of the post-war semis have three bedrooms and a driveway that takes two vehicles, which is exactly the shape most crews need.
Buckshaw Village itself is worth a mention: a modern development built on the old Royal Ordnance site, full of family houses with proper parking and quick access to the M6. Wherever we look, we check parking against the real vehicles, two bathrooms for crews of five or more, and heating and insulation that won't bleed money all winter, and a garage is flagged as a bonus whenever one comes with the house.
Chorley's crossroads position means crews here go in every direction: construction and housing development across central Lancashire, including steady growth around the town's own edges, logistics and warehousing around the M6 and M61 junctions, and manufacturing work in the town's industrial estates and the neighbouring Leyland corridor, plus the steady stream of utilities contracts that cross this part of the county.
There's healthcare and facilities work in and around the town, utilities and grid maintenance across the surrounding countryside, and plenty of crews use Chorley as the midpoint for jobs rotating between Preston, Wigan, Blackburn and Manchester. When your sites rotate, a central base like this saves hours every single week. Whatever the sector, the brief is the same — a whole house, near the site, with everything included.
Junction 27 of the M6 sits at the town's western edge and junction 28 just south, while the M61 branches off toward Manchester a few miles east. Preston is around eight miles north, Wigan nine south, Bolton about twelve east, Manchester city centre roughly forty minutes down the motorway, and Blackburn a similar run east across country roads when the job drifts that way. Chorley station and Buckshaw Parkway both sit on the Manchester–Preston line, handy for crew members without vehicles.
Whittle-le-Woods and Euxton sit minutes from the junctions, which is why so many of our Chorley houses cluster there. For sites out in the countryside or along the motorway web, we shortlist by tested drive time at shift hours — junction access matters more here than postcodes, and we plan accordingly. The train is slower than the van but reliable, which some crews on long jobs actually prefer.
The whole house goes to your crew: every bed, the kitchen, the driveway. Bills — gas, electric, water, council tax, broadband — are in our name, Wi-Fi is tested before check-in, and parking is confirmed against the vehicles arriving. Crews of five or more get two bathrooms as standard, and a weekly clean with fresh linen keeps the place decent. The house arrives stocked with the essentials, so day one is a food shop, not a hardware run.
Maintenance lands with us, day or night — if something goes wrong at midnight, it's our phone that rings and our problem that gets fixed. Your company receives one monthly invoice, paid by card, with no booking fees and no minimum crew or stay. You give us the site and the dates; we hand over a house that's ready to live in.
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 working hours from your site address, headcount and dates. The shortlist covers whole houses across Chorley, Euxton, Whittle-le-Woods and Buckshaw Village with parking and bathroom details marked. Paperwork is same-day and check-in is normally within 48 hours of confirmation.
All of Chorley plus Euxton, Whittle-le-Woods, Buckshaw, Eccleston and Heath Charnock, and we'll stretch toward Leyland, Preston, Wigan or Blackburn if the site's drive time points that way. The shortlist follows the job, not a fixed radius — junction access matters more than the postcode around here.
Yes — we check every property against the actual vehicles before offering it. Crews with multiple vans usually land best in the Buckshaw and Euxton family houses with double driveways, while the older terraces work when the vehicle count is modest. If the parking is tight, we tell you before you book, not after.
That's the standard arrangement. One monthly invoice covers rent, all bills, council tax, Wi-Fi, the weekly clean and all maintenance, paid by card. Several properties across the region can sit under one company account, so your accounts team deals with a single supplier and a single cost code.
We do. Whole houses mean the night crew comes and goes without disturbing anyone, and we time the weekly clean and any maintenance visits around your shift pattern. We also pick quieter streets for night crews — away from school runs and early traffic — so the day sleepers get proper rest.
No minimums on crew size or length of stay. A two-person team in for a couple of weeks gets the same whole house, the same bills-included setup and the same monthly invoicing as a large gang on a long contract. Availability moves with the dates, but the terms and standard don't.

If Chorley is short on the right house for your crew, Manchester is the obvious back-up, roughly 20 miles away. See our contractor accommodation Manchester page for what we hold there. Small crews are as welcome as big ones.
