Crewkerne, South West • England
Crewkerne is a market town in south Somerset in the TA postcode area, set between Yeovil, Chard and the A30 and A303 trunk routes, with the M5 reachable at Taunton. KrewBase provides whole serviced houses and flats for working crews here — bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, parking checked, one monthly invoice. It's a logical base for crews moving between Somerset and Dorset sites.
Crewkerne's housing is mostly handsome Ham stone terraces and cottages around the centre, with semis and small estates spreading out towards Misterton and the Yeovil road. The edge-of-town semis suit crews best — driveways, garages, gardens for drying gear, and quick exits onto the A-roads. We pass on properties with awkward access, thin walls or nervous landlords, and we check that the heating can cope with a Somerset winter before anyone signs anything.
Crews based here typically cover housing development around the Yeovil and Chard edges, agri-food and manufacturing shifts across south Somerset, highway and utility maintenance along the A30 and A303, and healthcare and school contracts in the local towns. The town is also well placed for Dorset border work — the Jurassic Coast side is an easy commute. Crew sizes run from two on a short fit-out to a dozen on a longer site package.
The A30 and A303 cross close by, so Yeovil is around ten minutes east, Chard a little further west, and Taunton — with the M5 — around twenty minutes. The A303 east opens Dorset and eventually the A37. When a contract moves site mid-job we re-shortlist by drive time rather than asking your crew to absorb a longer commute, and we'll flag it early if a house that made sense in week one stops making sense in week six.
One monthly invoice covers the lot: rent, council tax, gas, electricity, water, broadband, weekly clean and linen. The Wi-Fi is tested before your crew checks in and parking is confirmed against the vans that will actually arrive. Five or more crew means two bathrooms. If the boiler dies or the shower goes cold, your crew calls us and we fix it — it's our cost, not yours, and not the landlord's problem either. Payment is 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.
We aim for two working hours from your email: site postcode, crew size, vehicle count and dates. Everything we send has already been pre-checked for parking, Wi-Fi and drive time, so the shortlist is a decision between good options rather than a research project for your office.
Crewkerne itself, plus Yeovil, Chard and Ilminster, with Taunton and the M5 side within easy reach. Crews on Dorset-border work are covered too. The shortlist follows your site's drive time wherever that points, so tell us the postcode and we'll take it from there.
Yes — parking is one of our first filters. Edge-of-town semis here typically come with driveways or garages, and we confirm the property against your actual vehicle list before sending it. If it won't fit a Transit, it doesn't make the shortlist.
That's the standard arrangement: one monthly invoice covering rent, all bills, the weekly clean and linen, paid by card. No booking fees, no per-head extras. It drops into accounts payable as one tidy document at the end of each month, not a folder of receipts to be reconciled.
Extensions are normal and easy — a call or email, and the monthly invoice simply continues. If the site moves significantly we re-check drive times and, if the house no longer makes sense for the new commute, we help you switch base with as little disruption as possible.
Yes. There's no minimum crew size or stay length, and pricing is per house rather than per head, so small crews pay the same rate structure as big ones. Most of our bookings are two to eight people, and a short job is a completely normal booking.
