Crowborough, South East • England
High on the ridge above Ashdown Forest, Crowborough is East Sussex's highest town, in the South East of England, postcode area TN. It lies about seven miles south of Tunbridge Wells, a quiet base of semis and bungalows for crews working across the Weald. KrewBase houses crews here in whole serviced properties — bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in and parking matched to your vehicles — all settled on one monthly invoice, paid by card.
Crowborough spreads along a ridge, and most of its housing is twentieth-century: semis, detached houses and bungalows on quiet residential roads, with estates towards Jarvis Brook and the town's edges where driveways and garages are the norm. The older core has some handsome period houses, but for crews we favour the roomier stock — parking for vans, a second bathroom, and a living room that fits the whole crew. Around the town, villages like Rotherfield, Hartfield and Eridge offer cottages and newer houses for crews working further into the forest.
Crowborough sits between Tunbridge Wells and the East Sussex towns, so crews based here cover work across the central Weald: housing development, construction, highways and rural infrastructure, utility and grid jobs, and the trades that support them. There is steady healthcare and public-service work in the town and surrounding villages, and the forest and farmland around it bring land-management contracts. KrewBase houses crews working across East Sussex and west Kent, and Crowborough suits crews whose site sits somewhere between the two.
The A26 runs north from Crowborough to Tunbridge Wells in about twenty minutes, with the A21 and A264 beyond it towards Sevenoaks and the M25. Southbound, the A26 continues towards Uckfield and Lewes. Crowborough has its own station at the end of the line from Eridge, though most crews travel by road. We shortlist against your site's postcode with honest drive times — and if a property is too deep in the forest lanes to be practical for early starts, we say so and look again.
The crew takes the whole property. Rent, council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband are all in our name, Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, and parking is verified against the vehicles you list. Crews of five or more get two bathrooms, a weekly clean and fresh linen come as standard, and maintenance calls come to us rather than to your site office.
Your company receives one monthly invoice paid by card — no booking fees, no minimum crew size and no minimum stay, whether the job runs two weeks or the best part of a year. Send us the site postcode, crew size, vehicle list, start date and expected duration, and a shortlist of suitable whole properties comes back within two working hours with drive times attached.
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.
Yes — within two working hours of receiving the site postcode, headcount, vehicle list, start date and duration. Each option is a whole property with bills, Wi-Fi and parking already verified, plus an honest drive time to site so you can approve it without a site visit.
Generally yes — much of the town's housing is post-war semis, detached houses and bungalows with driveways or garages, which is exactly the stock we shortlist. Parking is matched against your vehicle list before you book and confirmed in the quote, so three vans never arrive to one space.
We do — Rotherfield, Hartfield, Eridge, Jarvis Brook and towards Mayfield and Uckfield, as well as the town itself. The quote names each property's exact location and drive time to site, so if a forest-lane cottage turns out to be forty minutes from the job in the morning, you'll know before you book it.
Yes. Rent, council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband are all in our name and covered by the one monthly invoice. We speed-test the Wi-Fi before check-in and verify parking against your vehicles, so the crew arrives to a working house, not a list of problems to report.
We do. Weekly cleaning and fresh linen are included, and any maintenance issue — heating, hot water, locks, appliances — is reported to us, not your site manager. Urgent problems are escalated immediately and chased until they're fixed. The crew just gets on with the job.
That's the standard arrangement. One invoice each month covers everything, paid by card, with no booking fees. Finance pays one line instead of juggling hotel folios, deposits and utility bills, and the crew never has to spend their own money and wait to be reimbursed.
