Corby, East Midlands • England
Corby is Northamptonshire's steel town turned manufacturing and housing-growth centre, sitting on the A43 between Kettering and Stamford in the NN postcode area. New estates keep going up, factories keep humming, and crews keep booking in. KrewBase houses them in whole serviced properties — bills, Wi-Fi and parking in, one monthly invoice to your company, and no minimum stay length at all.
Corby's housing comes in three acts: the original steel-town terraces, the post-war estates, and the big new developments on the town's edges that have been rising for years. For crews, the newer estates are the sweet spot — proper driveways, modern bathrooms, space for kit — while older terraces work well for smaller crews near the town centre. Every property is filtered for parking against your vehicles, a working kitchen, drying space, and two bathrooms for five or more.
Manufacturing is still the heartbeat — engineering, food production and the industrial estates — alongside the constant cycle of housing development as the town grows. Logistics crews use Corby as a base for the A14 and A43 corridors, and infrastructure and utilities work runs steadily across north Northamptonshire. We never name sites or clients, but a town that keeps building needs crews, and crews that keep working need proper houses — that's the gap we fill.
The A43 links Kettering in one direction and Stamford and the A1 in the other, with the A14 at Kettering opening the east–west corridor and Peterborough a straightforward run north-east. Corby station has direct trains towards London and the Midlands for crew members arriving by rail. Where jobs shift between sites, we shortlist by drive time so the house follows the work, not the other way round — send us the rota and we'll plan around it.
Whole house, your crew only — no hotel corridors. Bills for gas, electric, water and council tax sit in our name, broadband is speed-tested before arrival, parking is checked against your vans, and a weekly clean with fresh linen comes as standard, with a maintenance line answered day and night. One monthly invoice, paid by card, no booking fees, no minimum crew or stay length — site, headcount and dates get you 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.
About two working hours from your enquiry. Give us the site postcode, headcount and dates, and we'll send a live shortlist ranked by drive time to your gate. Once you pick, paperwork can be done the same day and keys are often ready by the next morning.
The town-centre terraces, the post-war estates, the new developments on the edges, plus Weldon, Oakley Vale and Great Oakley, and over towards Kettering if the job sits that way. We shortlist from wherever shortens the commute — drive time beats any loyalty to a postcode.
The newer estates do, comfortably — drives and garages are standard, and we confirm space against your actual vehicles before offering anything. Older streets near the centre can be tighter, so we only place van crews there when the parking genuinely works for the vehicle list you give us.
Yes. Council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband all go in our name and roll into one monthly invoice, paid by card. The weekly clean and fresh linen are in there too. The crew never sees a bill, and accounts deals with one document instead of a folder of receipts.
Almost always. Extensions are a normal part of crew work — phases slip, gangs move, surveys overrun. Tell us as soon as you know and we'll hold the house or move the crew to a comparable one nearby, keeping the same single invoice running so there's no re-papering for accounts.
Three things: the site postcode or a map pin, how many people need beds, and rough start and end dates. That's enough for a two-hour shortlist. A vehicle list and shift pattern help us fine-tune parking and commute times, but they're not needed for the first cut.
