Enniskillen, Northern Ireland • Northern Ireland
Enniskillen is Fermanagh's county town, built on the island between Upper and Lower Lough Erne in the west of Northern Ireland, in the BT postcode area. Crews on jobs across Fermanagh and the border counties often base here — it's the one town in the county with the shops, services and housing stock a working crew needs. KrewBase supplies whole serviced houses with bills, Wi-Fi and parking included, invoiced monthly to your company.
Enniskillen's housing ranges from Victorian terraces near the town centre and the Erne streets to semis along the Dublin and Belfast roads, with larger estates of detached and semi-detached homes on the edge of town toward the hospital and the bypass. For crews, the edge estates are usually the answer: modern houses with drives and garages, built for two cars, which in practice means two vans, and interiors that take a full crew without anyone improvising sleeping arrangements.
Our checks don't bend for location: parking matched to the vehicles, two bathrooms for five or more, a kitchen that can handle a crew's cooking, and Wi-Fi speed-tested before check-in. Fermanagh jobs often run long, so we also favour houses with decent heating and insulation — a warm house matters when a job rolls from autumn into winter, and a cold one costs the crew in electric heaters and patience. We know the difference and we shortlist accordingly.
Crews come to Enniskillen for work right across the county and the surrounding border area. Healthcare contracts at the town's hospital and clinics, construction and housing development in the town and the bigger villages, tourism and hospitality works around the loughs, and agriculture and food-sector jobs across Fermanagh all need beds. Energy and water-infrastructure work is a steady presence in this part of the west, and the waterways bring their own programme of maintenance and improvement jobs through the year.
Because Fermanagh is rural, plenty of the jobs are scattered — a site near Irvinestown, a job out toward Lisnaskea or Ballinamallard, works down toward the Cavan or Leitrim borders. Enniskillen works as the base because it's the hub: supermarkets, suppliers, takeaways, tool hire and the road links out in every direction. A crew based here is rarely more than half an hour from anywhere in the county.
The A4 crosses Enniskillen east toward Fivemiletown and Ballygawley and ultimately Belfast, while the A32 heads north toward Irvinestown, Derrygonnelly and on to Omagh. The A509 south goes toward the border and joins the route to Dublin, and the A46 links across to Belleek and the west end of the county. Belfast is roughly two hours by road, and Sligo is closer as the crow flies than most of Northern Ireland — this is the west, and the drives are longer than the map suggests.
There's no railway in Fermanagh, so every crew here drives — which is exactly why parking is checked so carefully before anyone books. For scattered rural sites we shortlist by drive time from the report-in point, whether that's the town itself or a site twenty miles out, and we'll tell you honestly if a base elsewhere would cut the daily mileage.
The let is the whole property, with gas, electric, council tax, water and broadband in our name. Wi-Fi is tested before check-in, parking is verified against the vehicles, crews of five or more get two bathrooms, and a weekly clean with fresh linen is included as standard. Maintenance goes to us, and we know local trades in the county who can attend quickly, which matters when the nearest big city is two hours away.
Billing is one monthly invoice, paid by card — no booking fees, no minimum crew or stay, and extensions handled with a phone call where the calendar allows. Send the site, crew size and dates, and we'll return a shortlist, usually within a couple of hours, with drive times worked out for each house against your report-in point. From then on, the house — bills, cleaning, repairs — is our problem, not yours.
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.
Typically within two hours during the working day. Send the site location, crew size and dates, and we'll shortlist whole houses in Enniskillen, with parking, bathrooms and drive time to site listed for each, so your team can confirm the booking the same afternoon.
The houses are in Enniskillen itself, but crews working across Fermanagh — Irvinestown, Lisnaskea, Derrygonnelly, Ballinamallard — base here and drive out. We shortlist by drive time from your report-in point and will say honestly if a different base would cut the daily mileage.
Yes — driveways or guaranteed off-street space are a hard requirement on every property we offer, checked against the crew's actual vehicles. Rural crews often run bigger vans and trailers, so we measure rather than assume, and anything that fails the check doesn't reach your list.
Everything domestic is in: gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband, with Wi-Fi speed-tested before check-in. A weekly clean and fresh linen are included too, which matters on the longer contracts this area tends to get, and maintenance goes to us rather than your site team.
Yes — one monthly invoice covers rent and all included bills, paid by card, with no booking fees. Your accounts team gets a single predictable cost for the job and the crew pays nothing, claims nothing and signs no utility contracts.
Tell us before the current term ends and we'll usually extend the same house. If it's already booked beyond your dates, we'll re-shortlist in Enniskillen to keep the crew's commute unchanged rather than moving them somewhere new and restarting their routine from scratch.
