Crawley, South East • England
Where the railway crosses the old London to Brighton road, Crawley has grown into West Sussex's largest town, in the South East of England, postcode area RH. It sits beside the M23, around thirty miles south of London and eighteen north of Brighton, with Gatwick Airport on its doorstep. KrewBase houses contractor crews here in whole serviced properties — bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, parking matched to your vehicles — all settled on one monthly invoice, paid by card.
Crawley's neighbourhoods were largely built in planned waves, which is good news for crews: broad estates at Furnace Green, Tilgate, Pound Hill and Maidenbower mix semis and detached houses with driveways, garages and proper parking, while older pockets near the town centre and Three Bridges have terraces and conversions better suited to smaller crews. We shortlist the estates first — space for vans, two bathrooms for bigger crews, and quick access to the M23 and the A23 for getting out to site.
Crawley's location does the work. Gatwick Airport brings aviation, maintenance and logistics contracts; the Manor Royal business district and the industrial estates around it keep warehouse, manufacturing and services work close; and the M23 and A23 put London, Brighton, Croydon and the M25 within easy reach for crews whose site moves week to week. Housing development and infrastructure work continue across the town and the surrounding Sussex villages, and the rail line keeps central London commutable for project staff.
The M23 starts at Crawley and runs north to the M25, with the A23 running alongside it towards Croydon and London; southbound, both lead to Brighton. Gatwick is minutes away for crews flying in, and Crawley and Three Bridges stations sit on the Brighton main line with fast trains to London and the coast. When we shortlist, we drive-time every property against your site's postcode — whether the job is in Crawley itself, at the airport, or somewhere along the M23 corridor.
The crew gets the whole property — house or flat — with rent, council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband in our name. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, parking is checked against the actual vehicle list, and crews of five or more get two bathrooms. Weekly cleaning and linen changes are part of the deal, and any maintenance issue lands with us rather than your site office.
Your company pays one monthly invoice paid by card, with no booking fees and no minimum crew size or stay length — whether it's a two-person fortnight or a full crew for the year, the paperwork looks the same. Tell us the site postcode, headcount, start date and expected duration, and a shortlist of suitable Crawley properties comes back within two working hours, each with honest drive times to site.
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 complete quote request — site postcode, crew size, vehicle list, start date and duration. You'll get whole houses or flats in and around Crawley with bills in our name, Wi-Fi speed-tested before check-in, parking verified against your vehicles, and real drive times to site attached, ready to approve without a phone call.
The post-war estates — Furnace Green, Tilgate, Pound Hill, Maidenbower and similar — for parking, space and quick access to the M23. Smaller crews can work well in the terraces near Three Bridges or the town centre. We match the neighbourhood to the site location and shift pattern rather than defaulting to whatever is available.
Yes — one monthly invoice covers rent, council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband, paid by card with no booking fees. The crew never handles money, and your accounts team sees a single line item instead of a stack of hotel receipts and utility bills.
Most of what we shortlist does — driveways and garages are common on the Crawley estates, which is exactly why we favour them. Parking is matched against your actual vehicle list and confirmed before you book, so nobody arrives to find a single narrow space for three vans.
For stays beyond a week or two, usually yes. A whole house costs less per head than hotel rooms, the crew cooks proper food, washing gets done, and night-shift workers sleep without housekeeping interruptions. Add one monthly invoice instead of nightly folios, and the admin savings stack up too.
Five things: the site postcode, crew headcount, vehicle list, start date and expected duration. With those we shortlist within two working hours. Shift patterns, dietary or accessibility needs, and any must-haves like a garden or ground-floor rooms help us narrow further.

Crawley sits about 20 miles from Brighton. 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 Brighton page covers houses across the wider area — two people or twenty, same service.
