Great Gonerby, East Midlands • England
A mile north of Grantham in Lincolnshire, England, Great Gonerby is a proper East Midlands village in the NG postcode area, close enough to share the town's shops and station while keeping clear of its traffic. For crews working the A1 corridor between Newark and Peterborough it makes a quiet base with quick access to the junctions. KrewBase arranges whole serviced houses in Great Gonerby and the neighbouring villages, with bills in our name and one monthly invoice for your company.
Great Gonerby is a proper village rather than a suburb: older stone and brick cottages along the main street, and a good stock of later family houses and small estates behind them. The later houses are what suit crews - off-street parking, three or four bedrooms, and gardens where boots and hi-vis can dry off. Village cottages look lovely but often lack parking and second bathrooms, so we filter hard and only send properties that genuinely work for a working crew.
Villages around Grantham see the same steady flow of contract work as the town itself: construction and housing development across South Kesteven, farm and rural infrastructure work through the Vale of Belvoir, highways maintenance along the A1, and logistics shifts at the distribution sites strung along the corridor. Crews also base here for healthcare and school projects in Grantham and the surrounding market towns. Wherever the site lands, we shortlist by drive time from the gate.
The A1 is a couple of minutes south - north to Newark in around twenty minutes, south to Stamford in about fifteen. The A52 runs west to Nottingham, and the A607 heads towards Melton Mowbray. Grantham's station is just down the hill on the East Coast Main Line, with fast services to London, Leeds, Nottingham and Peterborough, which makes crew changeovers simple. For sites towards Bingham or the Vale we check rural drive times carefully before shortlisting, because B-roads can flatter to deceive.
Your crew gets the whole house with all bills - gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband - in our name. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, parking is verified against your vehicles, and houses sleeping five or more have two bathrooms. A cleaner visits weekly with fresh linen, and maintenance is ours to sort around the clock, day or night, without anything landing on your site manager's desk.
One monthly invoice goes to your company paid by card, with no booking fees and no minimum crew or stay length. The crew pay nothing at the house, no deposits are needed up front, and nobody opens a utility account in the company's name. Send the site postcode, the headcount and the start date, and your shortlist lands within two hours.
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.
Both. Great Gonerby, Grantham and the surrounding villages - Barrowby, Allington, Sedgebrook, Bottesford and the Vale of Belvoir side. If the closest house is a couple of miles further out but ten minutes closer to site, we will tell you why.
Within two hours of receiving the site address, headcount and start date, during working hours. Availability in villages can be thinner than in towns, so we confirm each house is genuinely bookable before it reaches your inbox, and if nothing in the village fits we widen to nearby villages without being asked.
We check. Village parking varies street by street, so parking against your actual vehicles is a hard filter on every Great Gonerby shortlist - if the only option is a lane a van cannot use, the house does not make the list.
Yes - everything domestic is in our name: gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband, all wrapped into the one monthly invoice. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, and the crew pay nothing at the property, which keeps expense claims and meter top-ups out of the picture entirely.
It happens all the time. Tell us early and we will adjust - extra bedding, a bigger house if someone joins permanently, or a swap to a smaller place if numbers drop. Flexibility is much easier to arrange the more notice we get, so flag changes as soon as you know them.
Yes, longer stays are common - six-month jobs and rolling renewals are standard for us, and there is no upper limit built into the let. Extending is normally just a conversation, provided the house is still free, so flag the new finish date as early as you can.
