Faversham, South East • England
On the old Roman road between London and Canterbury sits Faversham, a working market town in the Swale district of Kent, in South East England and the ME postcode area. The M2 is a few minutes north and the town sits between Sittingbourne and Canterbury on the A2, with the Kent coast within easy reach. KrewBase arranges whole serviced houses and flats for crews working around Faversham - bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested, one monthly invoice.
Faversham's older streets are full of small Victorian and Georgian terraces, charming to look at but often short on parking. The 1930s semis along the roads out towards Sittingbourne and Canterbury are usually the better crew fit: two or three bedrooms, a working kitchen and a drive that can take a van or two. Newer estates on the town's edge add modern bathrooms and easy off-street parking, which is why they appear often in our shortlists.
Because the historic centre is tight for vehicles, we filter hard on parking, heating and internet before offering anything. Where the town itself cannot give the crew what it needs, we look to the villages either side - Preston, Davington, Ospringe - where ten minutes on the A2 buys a bigger house, easier parking and neighbours who are used to early starts. We will always be straight about drive time from your site.
Crews working across Kent book with us for housing development in the Swale towns, refurbishment of the older terraced stock, agri-food and production sites in the surrounding countryside, and maintenance along the A2 and M2 corridors. We keep job references generic on purpose - the details are your business - but the pattern is steady, physical work that needs a proper house rather than a hotel corridor.
Swale's position between the Medway towns, Canterbury and the coast means crews are rarely tied to one site for long. A well-placed house in Faversham lets the same crew cover work towards Sittingbourne, the M2 business parks and east towards Canterbury without moving digs every time the job shifts. If your job runs through the summer, book early - this stretch of Kent tightens fast.
The M2 junction for Faversham is a few minutes north of town, putting the Medway towns west and Canterbury east within easy reach. Sittingbourne is roughly nine miles west and Canterbury around ten east on the A2, while the coast at Whitstable and the Isle of Sheppey are short runs north. Faversham station has regular trains towards London and the Kent coast if a manager needs to be on and off site.
Crews run vans, so we shortlist by drive time from your actual site, not a map pin. Send us the site postcode and we rank every property by the real morning commute, whether the job is towards the M2, up the A2 or out into the Swale villages. Shift times along this corridor follow the port and industrial traffic as much as the commuter clock, so tell us the actual start time and we will plan the drive around it.
Your crew gets the whole property: kitchen, washing machine, space to dry kit and somewhere to park. Bills - council tax, gas, electric, water, Wi-Fi - sit in our name, settled before check-in. Wi-Fi is speed-tested in advance, parking is measured against the actual vehicles arriving, crews of five or more get two bathrooms, and a weekly clean with fresh linen comes as standard. 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. Small job, big job - the setup is the same.
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 us the site postcode and headcount and we will return a shortlist, usually within a couple of hours during the working day. Faversham is well supplied with family housing, so for a normal-sized crew we can normally place you quickly, even at short notice.
Yes. We shortlist across Faversham itself and the surrounding Swale villages - Ospringe, Preston, Davington and further out towards Selling and Badlesmere if the job needs it. Tell us where the site is and we rank every house by real drive time, not just what is closest on the map.
We only offer properties where we have checked the parking in person, against the vehicles your crew actually brings. The older terraced streets in Faversham centre can be tight, so we favour the semis and newer estates where a van parks without a fight. If parking cannot be guaranteed, the house does not make the shortlist.
Yes, along with council tax, gas, electric and water. All bills are in our name, settled before your crew arrives, and the broadband is speed-tested at the property before check-in - if it will not hold a crew's phones, laptops and streaming in the evening, we fix it before handover. Nobody should be burning through mobile data on a KrewBase booking.
That is how most of our bookings work. We invoice your business monthly - one invoice covering rent, bills and the weekly clean - paid by card. Your crew pays nothing, claims nothing, and there are no booking fees added on top.
Yes, happily. A whole house means your lads on nights can sleep through the day without housekeeping banging on the door. Tell us the shift pattern at enquiry stage and we will pick properties with good blackout and a layout that keeps day sleepers away from the front door.
