Egremont, North West • England
Where the Cumbrian coastal plain meets the western fells, Egremont stands in the North West of England, in the CA postcode area, between Whitehaven and the Lake District's quiet western side. The A595 threads the town through some of the most striking commuting country in England. KrewBase houses contractor crews in whole serviced properties here, bills in, Wi-Fi ready before check-in, and everything on one monthly invoice.
Egremont's streets mix solid stone terraces, post-war council semis and newer estates on the town's fringes, with a scattering of farm and village houses out towards the fells. The semis suit crews particularly well: a drive for the van, gardens for kit, and enough bedrooms to spread out after a long shift. We shortlist only what passes a practical check – parking, heating that copes with a coastal winter, and a landlord content with early starts and work gear.
This stretch of the Cumbrian coast runs on long-term contract work. Crews based in Egremont support the energy and decommissioning sector that defines the coastal strip between Whitehaven and Millom, alongside housing development in the town itself, rail maintenance on the coastal line and utility work across west Cumbria. Farming, forestry and Lake District access jobs add smaller but steady demand through the year.
The A595 is the town's artery: Whitehaven is five miles north, Workington about eight, and the route runs south past the Sellafield coastal plain towards Barrow. Junction 40 of the M6 at Penrith is roughly thirty-five miles east over the fell road. For rail, the Cumbrian Coast line serves St Bees and Sellafield a few minutes away, linking Carlisle and Barrow. Wherever the site is, we shortlist by real drive time from the actual site postcode, checked for your shift hours.
Every KrewBase let is the whole property, with all bills – council tax, gas, electric, water, broadband – in our name and inside one monthly invoice. Wi-Fi is tested before check-in, parking checked against the vehicles arriving, and crews of five or more get two bathrooms. A weekly clean and fresh linen come as standard, and maintenance is our problem, not your site's. Your company pays paid by card with no booking fees and 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.
Within two working hours of getting the site postcode, crew size and start date. West Cumbria is a smaller market, so we keep a close eye on what genuinely works for crews – parking, heating and drive time – and only send you properties that pass that filter.
Yes – we place crews across west Cumbria including St Bees, Cleator Moor, Moor Row, Frizington, Beckermet and the coastal villages towards Whitehaven and Workington. If your site moves along the A595 corridor we can normally shift or re-house the crew in the same patch.
We check it property by property. Most Egremont semis have a drive or generous kerb space that takes a Transit and a car comfortably, and we confirm dimensions against your actual vehicles before you book. Anything with tight parking never reaches the shortlist.
One monthly invoice covers everything – rent, council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband – payable paid by card. There are no booking fees, no utility admin for your accounts team, and no end-of-job surprises. Two people for a fortnight is as welcome as twenty for six months.
That is one of our main filters. Coastal Cumbria winters are no joke, so we only shortlist houses with heating systems we would trust ourselves, and we confirm hot water capacity for full crews. If a boiler lets you down mid-let, we fix it fast – that call comes to us, not your site manager.
Yes. Give us the start date and a best guess at duration – a month, a quarter, open-ended – and we will price accordingly. Most lets can extend month to month if the contract runs long, confirmed in writing the same day you tell us.

If Egremont is short on the right house for your crew, Carlisle is the obvious back-up, roughly 37 miles away. See our contractor accommodation Carlisle page for what we hold there. Small crews are as welcome as big ones.
