Frampton Cotterell, South West • England
Between Bristol and Yate, Frampton Cotterell is a South Gloucestershire village in England's South West, just off the A432 in the BS postcode area with the M4 and M5 both a short drive away. KrewBase houses work crews in whole serviced houses and flats here — bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in and parking checked against your vehicles. Your crew gets one monthly invoice, paid by card and no booking fees.
Frampton Cotterell is a village of stone and render along the old Bristol road: Victorian terraces near the centre, 1930s semis behind them, and post-war estates running towards Coalpit Heath and Winterbourne. For crews, the newer estates are usually the best fit — driveways, garages and gardens instead of fighting for parking on the main drag. We shortlist by parking first: one space per vehicle, checked against your van list before anyone signs anything.
Inside, we look for the practical things: two bathrooms for five or more crew, a kitchen that takes batch cooking, somewhere to dry work gear, and heating that doesn't struggle in January. If the right house isn't in the village itself, we look at Winterbourne, Coalpit Heath and Yate — all within a ten-minute drive and on the same roads to site, so the commute barely changes.
This corner of South Gloucestershire keeps a steady flow of trades moving: housing development across the Bristol fringe, warehouse and logistics work near the motorway junctions, and rail maintenance along the busy lines into Bristol Parkway. Crews also land here for NHS and healthcare contracts at the bigger hospitals in Bristol, and for infrastructure jobs along the A432 and A4174 corridors.
Because the village sits between two motorways, it's a natural base for firms whose sites move week to week — a crew can be working off the M4 one month and the M5 the next without changing address. It also suits shorter contracts: close the job, hand the house back, and the invoice simply stops at the end of the month.
The A432 runs through the village towards Bristol one way and Yate the other, and both the M4 and M5 are within roughly fifteen minutes depending on traffic. Bristol city centre is around ten miles south-west, and Yate and Chipping Sodbury are minutes away for supplies. Bristol Parkway station, a few miles over, gives fast rail links east and west.
When your site moves, we re-shortlist by drive time rather than postcode. Tell us where the job is each week and we check actual routes at the hours your crew travels — not just the distance on a map. If the new site tips the balance towards Yate or the motorway corridor, we'll say so and move the booking if that's what works.
Every KrewBase let in Frampton Cotterell is the whole property — your crew isn't sharing with strangers. Bills go in our name, Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, and parking is confirmed against the vehicles you'll actually bring. Houses sleeping five or more come with two bathrooms as standard, and weekly cleaning and fresh linen are part of the deal, ready before the crew arrives.
Maintenance comes to us, not your supervisor. You get one monthly invoice, paid by card, no booking fees and no minimum crew or stay — two people for a fortnight is as welcome as twenty for six months. When something breaks, the crew reports it through one channel and we deal with the contractor, access and follow-up, so site management stays out of landlord duties entirely.
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 address, headcount and dates and we'll come back with a shortlist within two working hours. Viewings can usually be arranged the same or next day, and check-in can follow within days once the paperwork is done. For urgent mobilisations, phone us rather than email and we'll prioritise it.
Yes — Winterbourne, Coalpit Heath, Yate, Chipping Sodbury and Emersons Green are all within a ten-minute drive and often have better-parked stock than the village itself. We shortlist by drive time from your site, so we'll tell you honestly which streets work best for your crew.
Every property we shortlist is checked against the vehicles you'll actually bring — one space per van or car. Driveways and garages are the norm on the estates we favour. If a property can't take your vehicles, it doesn't make the shortlist, simple as that.
Yes. Council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband go in our name, not yours. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in so your crew can stream, video-call and order parts without drama. There's no chasing utility companies and no arguing over the thermostat.
That's how most of our clients work. You get one monthly invoice covering rent, bills, cleaning and linen, paid by card. No booking fees, and your accounts team deals with a single supplier instead of a stack of receipts from individual crew members.
Tell us as soon as you know and we'll extend the booking or move the crew to another property nearby — whichever keeps everyone close to site. Extensions go on the same card payment invoice, and there's no penalty for a job running long, just standard notice periods to work around.
