Eltham, London • England
Eltham lies in the Royal Borough of Greenwich in the SE postcode area, a leafy south-east-London suburb strung along the A20 and A210 with its own Southeastern station and the A2 and M25 within easy reach. KrewBase houses work crews in whole serviced properties around Eltham — bills in our name, Wi-Fi live before arrival, parking checked for your vehicles — so the crew walks in and gets on with the job while your company settles everything through one monthly invoice.
Eltham is mostly 1930s semis and solid terraces, with post-war estates and pockets of newer development toward Kidbrooke and the A2. The semis around Eltham Park and the Midpoint are the classic crew-house pick — three or four bedrooms, gardens for drying kit, and driveways that genuinely take vans, which is one of Eltham's quiet advantages over inner London. Stock like this fits crews perfectly, and the best of it goes quickly once the major jobs mobilise.
We apply the same filter everywhere: parking verified against your actual vehicles, two bathrooms for crews of five or more, storage space for tools, and a commute that doesn't start with twenty minutes in south-east-London traffic. Anything short simply isn't on the list we send. We've housed many a crew on streets like these, and most ask to come back without prompting.
South-east London's ongoing housing development and regeneration work keeps crews busy across Greenwich and the neighbouring boroughs, with utilities, rail and infrastructure contracts along the A2 corridor and toward Kent adding steady demand. Crews working across the south-east counties often base themselves here for the easy run out of town. Every crew asks the same practical question: a decent house near enough to make shift starts painless.
As always, no named projects and no invented numbers. Tell us your site locations and shift starts, and we'll source whole houses close enough to shorten the working day, held for as long as the contract needs and flexible when the programme shifts. Funding ebbs and flows, but the need for beds near site carries on regardless. It's work that rarely makes the papers but always needs beds.
Eltham station runs Southeastern services into London Bridge, Charing Cross and out toward Dartford, and the A20 and A210 thread the suburb toward Blackheath, Kidbrooke and the A2. From there the M25 and the Dartford side of Kent are straightforward, and the South Circular opens up the rest of south London. The rule never changes: the house exists to serve the site, not vice versa.
Wherever the site sits, we shortlist by drive time from the gate. Crews on early starts lose enough hours to the roads as it is — our job is to hand that time back with a house that's genuinely close, not one that merely looks near on a map. Half an hour saved each way is real rest for the crew, and rested crews are cheaper than tired ones.
The whole property, always — your crew gets the keys to the entire house, not a floor of someone else's. Council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband stay in our name, Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, parking is matched to your vehicles, and crews of five or more get two bathrooms. A weekly clean and fresh linen are part of the deal.
Maintenance comes to us, and your company gets one monthly invoice, paid by card with no booking fees. There's no minimum crew size and no minimum stay — the let is sized to the job, whether that's a fortnight or the best part of a year. Arrival day involves luggage and keys, and nothing else. This is somewhere the crew can properly live, not just sleep between shifts.
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.
Give us the site address, headcount and dates and we'll send a vetted shortlist of whole houses within about two hours in working hours. Eltham's semis with driveways are in demand, so once you approve we secure the property and confirm everything in writing.
We place crews across Eltham, Kidbrooke, Blackheath, Mottingham and the wider Greenwich borough, and we're equally happy sourcing near the site wherever it is in south-east London or Kent. The shortlist is built on drive time from site, not on postcodes.
Yes — parking is the first thing we check. We only shortlist houses with driveways, garages or confirmed permits sized for your actual vehicles, and the parking detail goes to you with each option. If the vans don't fit, the house isn't offered.
One monthly invoice covers rent, all bills, Wi-Fi and the weekly clean, paid by card. No booking fees and no per-person extras to reconcile. The crew never handles money; your accounts team deals with a single document each month and pays it by BACS.
No. We price the whole property for exactly the time you need — a couple of weeks or a year-plus contract are both fine. Stays can usually be extended if the job overruns; just flag it early so we can agree it with the host before dates collide.
We do. A weekly clean and fresh linen keep the place decent, and any maintenance — boiler, leaks, appliances — goes to KrewBase, not your crew or your site manager. It's all covered within the one monthly invoice, so there are no surprise charges mid-contract.

Eltham sits about 9 miles from London. 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 London page covers houses across the wider area — two people or twenty, same service.
