Dunstable, East of England • England
Dunstable has always been a town people pass through — first along Watling Street, now along the M1. It sits in Bedfordshire in the East of England, in the LU postcode area at the foot of the Chilterns, with Luton next door and London around thirty miles south. KrewBase houses contractor crews in whole serviced houses and flats across town — bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, parking matched to your vehicles, and one monthly invoice to the company.
Dunstable's housing is largely post-war semis and terraces — solid, practical stock across the town's estates — with newer developments on the edges and a few flats near the high street. For crews the semis are the sweet spot: parking on the drive, three bedrooms, a dining kitchen. Staying on Dunstable's side of the conurbation rather than Luton's also means easier parking and quieter nights, with the airport and the motorway still minutes away.
The M1 corridor keeps this part of Bedfordshire busy: distribution and logistics around the motorway junctions, construction and housing development across the town and surrounding villages, and a long tradition of manufacturing and industrial work. The major hospital site covering Dunstable and Luton pulls in healthcare crews, and there's a constant background of energy and utility contracts. Most of it needs people on the ground for weeks or months at a time.
Dunstable sits right on the M1 — Junctions 11 and 12 bracket the town — with the A5 running through it and the A505 linking across to Luton and Hitchin. Luton itself is next door, around five minutes, and London is roughly thirty miles south. There's no station in Dunstable, but Luton and Leagrave cover rail. Whatever the site, we shortlist by drive time from it, because junction time on the M1 is a fact of life here.
The whole house or flat, with bills in our name: council tax, energy, water and broadband, the Wi-Fi tested before anyone arrives. Parking is checked against the actual vehicles, houses sleeping five or more get two bathrooms, and a weekly clean with fresh linen comes as standard. When something breaks, crews call us and we sort it — at our cost, without a landlord debate.
The company receives one monthly invoice, paid by card — no booking fees, no minimum numbers, no agent in the middle taking a cut and adding a week to every decision. Site postcode, crew size, dates: that's all we need for a shortlist within two hours, and every property on it will already have passed our parking, bathroom and heating checks.
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 — it's checked against your actual vehicle list before any property reaches you. Tell us how many vans, their size and whether anything's towed, and we shortlist only houses where the parking genuinely fits. On the post-war semis we favour, a drive for two vehicles is common, and we verify rather than assume.
Council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband are all in our name and inside the quoted price. The Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, so the crew's first evening isn't spent tethering phones. Nobody on site ever sees a utility bill, and the figure we quote is the figure that appears on the monthly invoice.
Monthly invoicing is the default: one invoice covering rent, bills and the weekly clean, paid by card. No booking fees, no deposits collected from crew members, and we deal with the utility companies directly. If your accounts team needs references or cost codes on the invoice, they can be set up once at booking and will appear correctly every month.
Yes — whole houses are built for it. There's no housekeeping schedule, no corridors shared with strangers and no breakfast cut-off; the crew sleeps, eats and washes when the rota allows. The weekly clean is arranged around shifts, and with a full kitchen the night crew eats properly instead of surviving on garage sandwiches.
For stays beyond a few nights, typically yes. Hotels charge per room per night and park vans wherever space remains; a crew house is one price for the whole property with bills in, a kitchen that cuts meal costs, and parking checked against your vehicles. Add one monthly invoice instead of nightly folios and the admin saving is considerable too.
Three things get you a shortlist within two hours: the site postcode, the number of crew, and the start and end dates. The vehicle list — number, size, trailers — lets us verify parking properly. There's no site visit, no drawn-out form and no commitment until you've seen the options and picked one.

Dunstable sits about 14 miles from Milton Keynes. 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 Milton Keynes page covers houses across the wider area — two people or twenty, same service.
