Exeter, South West • England
Exeter is Devon's capital, a compact city in England's South West in the EX postcode area, sitting at the junction of the M5, A30 and A38 with a mainline rail hub at St Davids. Dartmoor rises to the west and the coast is half an hour south. KrewBase provides whole serviced houses and flats for work crews across the city: bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, parking checked against your vehicles, and one monthly invoice for the company.
Exeter's stock ranges from Victorian terraces in St Thomas, Heavitree and Mount Pleasant to post-war semis across the suburbs and modern flats around the quayside and the city fringe, with plenty of student lets that convert well for crew use. Crews usually do best in the terraced streets near the older industrial edges or the semis on the main-road corridors — parking is easier, access is simple, and there's a corner shop and a chippy within walking distance.
We filter for the practical stuff: off-street parking or permit-free streets that genuinely fit vans, at least two bathrooms for crews of five or more, decent storage for PPE and tools, and properties where an early start won't start a war with the neighbours. If a listing looks lovely but can't take a pickup, it doesn't make the shortlist, whatever the photos say.
Exeter pulls in crews from every direction. Construction and housing development runs constantly around the city and the new neighbourhoods on its edge, the hospitals and healthcare sites keep trades and care staff rotating, and the university estates generate their own steady work. Add logistics and warehouse jobs along the M5 and A30, retail and office fit-outs in the centre, and utility upgrades threading through the suburbs — between them they keep crews of every size moving through the EX postcode area all year.
An Exeter address puts the M5 at junctions 29 and 30 on the doorstep for the rest of the South West, the A30 west for Okehampton and Cornwall, and the A38 south for Torbay and Plymouth. St Davids station runs fast services to London, Bristol and the north, and the airport sits east of the city. Most crews drive, and we shortlist by real drive time to the site — an 'Exeter' job can mean the city centre, the Marsh Barton trading estates or a site out towards the moor, and each points at a different part of town.
Your company books the whole property, and the bills — gas, electric, water, council tax, broadband — stay in our name. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before your crew checks in, parking is confirmed against the actual vehicle list, and we look for two bathrooms once you're at five or more. A weekly clean and fresh linen are included, maintenance is our job rather than your supervisor's, and the whole cost lands on one monthly invoice, paid by card. No booking fees, no minimum crew size or stay length.
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.
Send the site postcode, crew size, vehicle list and start date, and we'll come back with a shortlist of suitable properties — usually within two working hours. Each option includes photos, parking notes and a fixed weekly rate, so your office can approve it the same day and your crew can be moved in fast.
All of it — from St Thomas and Heavitree to Pinhoe, Cowick, Topsham and Marsh Barton, plus the wider EX postcode area including Topsham, Exminster and the new developments on the city's edge. If the job sits further out towards the moor or the coast, we'll position the house where it saves the most miles.
We check parking before offering any property — driveways, garages or permit-free streets that genuinely fit your vehicles, confirmed against your actual list. Vans are a fact of life for Exeter crews, so it's one of the first things we filter for.
Yes. Gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband all stay in our name, so your crew never chases a utility bill or tops up a meter. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, and everything rolls into the one monthly invoice your company receives.
No problem. We shortlist properties where comings and goings at odd hours won't cause trouble — the right street, the right neighbours, off-street parking so a 4am start doesn't mean a permit hunt. Tell us the shift pattern when you enquire and we'll factor it in.
The site postcode or nearest address, crew numbers, the vehicles coming, any shift pattern, and the start date with an expected duration. With that we can shortlist within two working hours and quote a fixed weekly rate the same day.
