Falmouth, South West • England
Falmouth wraps around a deep natural harbour on Cornwall's south coast, in the TR postcode area of England's South West, about twelve miles from Truro on the A39. The town grew on the docks and still works for its living — ship repair, marine trades and a busy ferry port. KrewBase houses crews in whole serviced properties across the town: bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, parking checked against your vehicles, and one monthly invoice for the company.
Falmouth is steep. The old town and the streets above the harbour are a stack of cottages and small terraces with barely a parking space between them, so crews rarely fit there. The practical stock sits in the post-war semis and newer estates around Swanpool, Maenporth Road and the roads towards Penryn — driveways, garages, level access and room for work kit. That's where we concentrate, filtering for parking that genuinely takes vans, enough bathrooms for the crew size and a layout that doesn't put all the bedrooms through one small lounge.
Falmouth's harbour keeps a rolling demand for marine trades, dock maintenance and waterside construction, and the same marine skills spill over into engineering and manufacturing work around the Carrick Roads settlements. Crews also come for housing development across the town's growth areas, tourism-season refits and maintenance, and utility work following the lanes up the Fal and towards Truro. Add healthcare rotas at the local hospitals and university estates work, and there's a steady year-round need for crew housing across the TR postcode area.
The A39 runs up to Truro in about twenty-five minutes, where it meets the A30 for the rest of Cornwall. Penryn is five minutes away, Redruth and Camborne about twenty beyond Truro, and the Lizard is reachable south across the Helford side. Falmouth has its own branch line into the main rail network at Truro, but crews here drive — and with Cornish lanes and summer traffic, we shortlist by measured drive time from site rather than the map distance, because the two are rarely the same down here.
Your crew gets the whole house — bills for gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband stay in our name. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, parking is confirmed against your actual vehicle list, and we look for two bathrooms for crews of five or more. A weekly clean and fresh linen are part of the deal, maintenance calls come straight to us, and everything lands on one monthly invoice, paid by card. No booking fees, no minimum crew size or stay length — a two-person job for a month gets the same service as a full crew on a long contract.
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.
In the right parts of town, yes. We deliberately shortlist the post-war semis and newer estates with driveways and garages, and confirm parking against your actual vehicle list before offering anything. What we won't do is squeeze your crew into a harbour-side terrace where the van lives a ten-minute walk away.
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 the whole lot rolls into the one monthly invoice your company receives.
We cover Falmouth itself plus Penryn, Truro, Redruth, Camborne and Helston, and jobs out towards the Lizard. Most crews working anywhere in the TR postcode area can be housed within a sensible drive of site, and we re-shortlist if the contract moves.
No minimums. Small jobs get the same whole-house service as long contracts, with weekly cleaning and linen regardless of crew size. And if the job runs long, extending is usually a quick phone call — we confirm availability and adjust the invoice.
Usually, yes, provided the property's calendar allows it. Because there's no fixed minimum stay, extending is normally a quick phone call: we confirm availability, adjust the monthly invoice, and your crew stays put rather than packing up mid-job and losing days to a move.
