Cottingham, Yorkshire and the Humber • England
On Hull's north-western edge, Cottingham is one of England's biggest villages — the HU postcode area, Yorkshire and the Humber at its most practical. Crews working across Hull, the Humber and the East Riding can base here and reach most sites in minutes, with proper shops and a rail station in the village itself. KrewBase lets whole serviced houses around Cottingham — bills, Wi-Fi and parking in, and one monthly invoice to your office instead of a shoebox of receipts.
The village has range. Around the old centre and the station there are handsome period semis and terraces with deep gardens; toward Hull the stock turns newer, with estates of modern family houses that are often ideal for a crew — driveways, downstairs toilets, rooms that take proper beds. We filter every option for off-road parking sized to the vans, broadband that carries the whole crew at once, and a second bathroom when five or more are in the house.
This is working-coast territory: port and logistics work around Hull, energy jobs along the estuary, healthcare shifts at the city's hospitals, manufacturing along the industrial belt, and constant construction and housing development across the East Riding. Crews posted here stay weeks at a time, and a crew house near site beats a hotel on cost, space and the simple matter of everyone having a proper table to sit at.
Hull's centre is four miles or so down the A1079 corridor, and the A164 opens routes north toward the Yorkshire Wolds. The Humber crossings are close for work in Lincolnshire, and Cottingham has its own station on the Hull to Beverley line for crew coming in by train. As ever, we shortlist from the site postcode by real drive time — the difference between the right house and the wrong one is usually twenty minutes each way, and that adds up fast.
The crew takes the whole house — no shared corridors, no strangers in the kitchen. Bills are in our name, Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, and parking is verified against the actual vehicles. Five or more crew means two bathrooms as standard, with a weekly clean and fresh linen keeping the place straight. Maintenance comes to us, and everything rolls into one monthly invoice, paid by card. No booking fees, no minimum stay.
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 a completed enquiry — site postcode, crew size, expected duration. Every option has already been checked for parking, Wi-Fi and a workable kitchen, so the shortlist is deliberately tight: a few houses that fit, none that need excuses.
Yes. Crews are placed wherever the drive time works best, which often means Cottingham itself for its stock and parking, but can mean Hull's western suburbs or the villages up the A164. The site postcode decides; the address label does not.
Yes — it is the first thing we check. Each property is measured against the actual vehicles on the job, and anything that cannot get the fleet off the road is struck off the list. Kerbside parking for tools and vans is a problem we solve before check-in, not after.
Council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband — all in our name, all in the rate. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before anyone moves in, and nobody at the property pays a thing. It consolidates into one monthly invoice for your office, which is the point.
Yes. A couple of engineers for a fortnight get the same whole-house, bills-in service as a large gang on a long contract. There is no minimum crew size or stay length — if the house fits the people and the dates, we book it.
We do. The crew reports a fault, KrewBase books the tradesperson, and it gets fixed without involving your site management. The weekly clean doubles as an inspection, so drips and loose hinges are caught before they become call-outs on your watch.

Cottingham sits about 30 miles from York. 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 York page covers houses across the wider area — two people or twenty, same service.
