Farnham, South East • England
Farnham is a handsome Georgian market town on the Surrey-Hampshire border in South East England, in the GU postcode area. It sits on the A31 between Guildford and Alton, a short run from the M3 near Farnborough and within easy reach of Aldershot and the villages around. KrewBase arranges whole serviced houses and flats for crews working around Farnham - bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, and one monthly invoice for the whole crew.
Farnham's stock is a mix of Georgian brick terraces and older cottages around the town centre, 1930s semis up the hill towards Wrecclesham, and post-war estates at Old Park and Rowledge where detached houses have proper drive space. For crews we usually lean towards the semis and end terraces: two or three bedrooms, a kitchen that can handle a working crew, and - above all - off-street parking for a couple of vans. Every property we shortlist is checked in person for parking, heating and internet speed.
The town centre is conservation-heavy and parking can be tight on the older streets, so we also look just outside: Wrecclesham, Rowledge and the roads towards Badshot Lea. Ten minutes of extra drive often buys an easier morning, room to dry wet kit, and neighbours who are used to early starts. Your crew still gets a whole house, and we will always say honestly how far it sits from your site and what the commute looks like at shift time.
Crews working across Surrey book with us for housing development on the town's fringe, refurbishment of period property, school and healthcare upgrades, groundwork along the A31 corridor and the steady run of trades serving the commuter belt. We keep job references deliberately generic - the details are your business - but the pattern is physical work that needs a proper house rather than a hotel corridor.
When bigger schemes land in Guildford, Aldershot or Farnborough, Farnham often ends up the practical base: close enough for a short van run, far enough out that whole houses are available. If your job runs into the commuter surge around the Farnham to Farnborough rail corridor, early booking matters. We can pencil in dates while you confirm the site - it costs nothing to ask.
The A31 runs east to Guildford, around twelve miles, and on to the A3, while the M3 near Farnborough is roughly ten minutes north. Aldershot is about five miles, Farnborough under ten, and Basingstoke around twenty to the west, and Farnham station has trains towards Guildford and London Waterloo. Crews run vans, so we shortlist by drive time from your actual site rather than a map pin - give us the site postcode and we rank every house by the real morning commute, whether the job is towards Alton, Farnborough or out to the A3.
Your crew gets the whole property, not a block of hotel rooms. Bills - council tax, gas, electric, water, Wi-Fi - go in our name and are settled before you ever see them. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, parking is measured against the actual vehicles arriving, not guessed from a listing photo, crews of five or more get two bathrooms, and a weekly clean with fresh linen comes as standard. Any maintenance is ours to sort, and the business gets one monthly invoice for everything paid by card - no booking fees, no minimum crew or stay. The setup is the same as anywhere else we cover.
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 and crew size and we will come back with a shortlist, typically within a couple of hours during working hours. Farnham is a popular commuter town, so giving us a week or two of notice helps, but we have turned around shortlists for crews arriving the next day.
Yes - parking is one of the first things we check, in person, before we offer a house. We measure the drive or kerb space against the actual vehicles your crew arrives in. If a property around Farnham cannot take the vans, it does not make the shortlist, whatever the listing says.
They are. Council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband all sit in our name and are settled before check-in. The Wi-Fi is speed-tested before your crew arrives so nobody is hotspotting on day one. Everything rolls into one monthly invoice - your crew just turns the key.
Yes, most of our bookings are company-paid. We invoice the business monthly for everything - rent, bills, the lot - paid by card. No card payments from your crew, no expense receipts, no booking fees on top, and nothing for your accounts team to reconcile beyond one line.
A house, in our experience. For crews of three or more, a whole house works out cheaper than hotel rooms, and your crew gets a kitchen, a washing machine, space to dry kit and somewhere to park the vans. Hotels on the Farnham corridor fill with commuters and weddings; a crew house is yours for the length of the job.
Usually, yes. Extensions are one of the most common requests we handle. Tell us as soon as you know the dates are slipping and we will extend the same house where the calendar allows, or move the crew to an equivalent one nearby if it does not.
