Eccleshall, West Midlands • England
Halfway between Stafford and Newport sits Eccleshall, a stone-built market town in Staffordshire, England, in the ST postcode area. Its position just off the A519, a short run from the M6 at junction 14, makes it a handy base for crews working across the West Midlands and the Potteries. KrewBase lets whole serviced houses and flats here, with gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband in our name and one monthly invoice to your company — so your crew gets a proper home and you get none of the admin.
Eccleshall is a classic small Staffordshire market town: stone and brick terraces along the High Street, pairs of semis on the roads out towards Stafford and Woodseaves, and larger detached houses on the newer estates at the town's edge. For working crews the estates tend to perform best — off-street driveways that take a pair of vans, a spare box room for kit and paperwork, and gardens where boots and overalls don't matter. We walk past anything that photographs well but fails in person, and we only shortlist what we'd happily put our own lads in.
Our filter stays the same whatever the town: a working kitchen that fits more than one person at once, space round the dining table for drawings and brews, heating that warms every bedroom in January, and broadband that holds up when four people are online at the same time. Parking is measured against the vehicles you tell us about, not the estate agent's optimistic description, before an Eccleshall house ever reaches your shortlist.
Crews base themselves around Eccleshall because of what's within an hour's drive rather than what's inside the town itself. Housing development and construction work across Staffordshire keeps carpenters, groundworkers, plasterers and M&E trades moving through the area, while rail and utilities jobs along the West Coast Main Line corridor pull in gangs who want a quiet town to come back to at six o'clock, rather than a hotel by a roundabout with nowhere to park the van.
We work with main contractors, smaller subcontractors and direct employers alike, and we never ask what tier of the supply chain you're on. Whether it's a two-person fitting crew in for three weeks or a full squad on a long housing framework, the booking works identically: one house, everything included, one monthly invoice. The size of the job doesn't change the standard of the accommodation.
The A519 runs straight through town, linking Stafford to the north with Newport and the A518 to the south. Junction 14 of the M6 is roughly a fifteen-minute drive, which puts crews onto the motorway network towards Stoke-on-Trent, onto the M54 for Shrewsbury, or south towards the Midlands in short order. It's the kind of position where most West Midlands sites fall inside a manageable morning run without the crew living on an industrial estate.
When a job site isn't on the obvious corridor, we shortlist by drive time rather than guessing. Send us the site postcode and we'll check each Eccleshall property against real morning traffic, and widen the search to Stafford, Stone or the villages along the A34 if that shaves minutes off the commute. The shortlist shows the honest numbers for each option, so you can see exactly what the crew's day looks like before you commit to anything.
Your crew takes the whole property — every bedroom, the kitchen, the garden, no shared corridors and no other guests. We hold the tenancy in our name and put gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband in ours too, so nobody on site is chasing utility bills or arguing with a supplier. Wi-Fi is installed and speed-tested before check-in, and parking is checked against the actual vehicles the crew brings, not a brochure photograph taken years ago.
Five or more in the crew means two bathrooms as standard, so morning queues don't set the tone for the day. A weekly clean and fresh linen keep the place decent between shifts, and any maintenance issue goes straight to us — not to your site manager, not to the lads after twelve hours on the tools. Your company receives one monthly invoice with payment by card, no booking fees, and no minimum crew size or stay length to worry about.
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.
For a crew heading to Eccleshall we normally turn a shortlist round within two working hours of getting the site postcode, crew size and start date. You'll receive a small set of real, currently available properties with photos, honest drive times and all-in weekly rates, so a decision can be made the same day the job is confirmed rather than later in the week.
Beyond Eccleshall itself we cover Stafford to the north, Stone and the A34 corridor, Newport and the A518 villages, and out towards Woodseaves and Standon. If a site sits further afield, we'll say so plainly and shortlist from whichever base gives the shortest honest drive, rather than stretching a booking to fit the town name on the page.
Yes — we only shortlist Eccleshall properties where the parking genuinely fits your vehicles. Tell us how many vans, their size, and whether anything is towed, and we match that against driveways and on-street space at each house before it is offered to you. A crew that can't park outside its own front door is a booking we've failed to set up properly.
They are. Gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband all stay in our name, so nobody in the crew ever sees a utility bill or takes a supplier phone call. Everything rolls into one monthly invoice for the company paid by card, and the Wi-Fi connection is installed and speed-tested before anyone's first night in the Eccleshall house.
Yes, there's no minimum crew size or stay length. A two-person crew for a fortnight is booked as readily as a larger squad for six months, and the house and service are identical either way. If the job then overruns, extending the stay is usually a single message, subject to the property remaining available for the extra weeks.
We do, at any hour. Your crew reports a problem through our normal channel, our maintenance team arranges the contractor and the fix with the landlord, and your company hears nothing about it unless it affects the invoice. That's the point of a serviced crew house — nobody on site becomes an unpaid letting agent, and the house simply keeps working.
